With two innovative new products, Zanders focused strongly on sustainability at this year’s FachPack: Zangrass, an uncoated grass paper with almost unlimited areas of application, and Zanbarrier NGR, a fluorocarbon-free barrier paper for flexible food packaging, were the highlights of the fair presentation and were enormously popular with the visitors. Furthermore, the German manufacturer of high-quality special papers and cartons presented its versatile range of label paper and cartonboard, including the high-gloss qualities of the premium brand Chromolux, which is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year.
The grass paper Zangrass lives up to its name: 20 to 40 percent virgin fibers of sun-dried grass are being used for the new quality. “In the process chain for the production of Zangrass, up to 75 percent of CO2 emissions can be saved in comparison to pure fiber-based papers and also the water consumption is lower”, explains John Tucker, Sales Director at Zanders. “Furthermore, Zangrass is completely recyclable and compostable”. The grass paper is mainly used in the segment of organic and natural products, like fruit bowls and vegetable trays in the form of corrugated cardboard, reusable paper carrier bags or applications in the field of natural cosmetics. Currently, the new paper is available in the grammages 120 gsm and 150 gsm. An expansion of the product range to lighter and heavier weights is already planned so that Zangrass can be used for diverse applications in the future.
