Indonesia-based APP Group advocates eco-friendly packaging

The APP Group manages pulp and paper manufacturing and forestry operations, offering eco-friendly paper packaging that supports ethical food practices. The Group merges its innovative approach with environmental responsibility to provide consumers, mostly in the US, a way to have their meals while making a positive impact on the planet.

"By choosing sustainable paper packaging, consumers can enjoy their meals knowing they are supporting ethical and environmentally friendly practices," said Elim Sritaba, Chief Sustainability Officer at APP Group. "Our commitment to sustainability ensures that from the tree to the package, every step is taken with the environment in mind."

The Foopak Bio Natura line of paper packaging is specifically designed for food products, offering a biodegradable and compostable option that reduces waste. This solution is particularly relevant in the US where composting initiatives are gaining traction and consumers are looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprint.

Another product that is the Enza HS Flexpack, a high-strength flexible packaging solution that uses less material, allowing consumers to reduce waste and promote sustainability. The unbleached Kraft material is suitable for take-a-way food wrappers, box liners and carry-out-bags.

APP Group is actively involved in forest conservation and responsible sourcing, ensuring that its materials come from well-managed forests. This holistic approach to sustainability means that from the moment a tree is planted to the final packaging of a meal, every step considers care for the environment.

As the United States continues to prioritise sustainability, the role of responsible packaging becomes even more crucial. APP Group's innovative solutions provide a path forward, demonstrating that it is possible to enjoy the convenience and safety of packaged foods while also protecting the environment.
