Boise launches Boise Ecoogr: the company’s first fluorochemical-free oil and grease resistant paper
“Consumers
are increasingly concerned about the presence of fluorochemicals in
their food packaging,” said Miles Hewitt, senior vice president, Boise
Paper. “This is a big issue for the food service industry and we are
solving the problem by delivering EcoOGR, a product that is
competitively priced and functionally equivalent – if not better – than
the current products.” Boise
EcoOGR prints, converts and provides the same functionality as
traditionally treated paper. Unlike conventionally treated papers,
EcoOGR is made with naturally occurring, renewable resources. “At
Boise we pride ourselves on going beyond what’s expected,” said Boise
executive vice president Alexander Toeldte. “Even as our food service
customers were asking us for a fluorochemical-free alternative, we
recognized the growing importance of developing new products that have
a lower impact on our environment.” With
superior grease resistance, Boise EcoOGR is perfect for a variety of
uses including sandwich, hamburger and taco wraps; French fry and hash
brown bags; take out bags for fried chicken; and pizza box liners. Boise,
headquartered in Boise, Idaho, manufactures engineered wood products,
plywood, lumber, and particleboard and distributes a broad line of
building materials, including wood products manufactured by the
company. Boise also manufactures a wide range of specialty and premium
products, including imaging papers for the office and home and papers
for pressure-sensitive applications, as well as printing and converting
papers, containerboard and corrugated boxes, newsprint, and market
pulp.
