A 100% ECO rigid takeaway food packaging produced in EU
In premiere for the European market, a 100%-ecological and compostable rigid takeaway food packaging made in EU is now available. The new range of products are made entirely of FSC wood fiber, purchased from the EU market.
The new products are made in Romania by a top European player in the field of high-quality rigid takeaway food packaging, following an investment of over EUR 20 million.
The new range of products is the only ”Made in EU” alternative of ecological and compostable rigid takeaway food packaging to imports from Asia, namely from China. In the context of the major challenges that affect the logistical chain from China to the European market – e.g. from Covid-19 related deadlocks and delays, to shortages of shipment containers and overall increasing transportation cost – the announcement made by BFG Packaging brings a major opportunity in successfully addressing all these coordinates.
”We announce an important milestone for the European industry of rigid takeaway food packaging. European companies now have the option of contracting 100% ecological and compostable rigid takeaway food packaging made in EU. The new range of products are a successful alternative to plastic food containers, including the ones made of expanded polystyrene, which will be excluded from the EU markets by the transposition of Directive (EU) 2019/904 on reducing the environmental impact of certain plastic products. This is our solution and our way of supporting the environmental agenda of the European Commission and European Parliament while also contributing to the sustainable development of the European industry of rigid takeaway food packaging,” said Karel Hoet, President, BFG Packaging.
As such, purchasing the new 100% ecological rigid takeaway food packaging from Romania will allow European companies to eliminate logistical bottlenecks, ensuring a fast delivery to clients across Europe, while also reducing the overall carbon footprint of transport activities. Once the process of transposing Directive (EU) 2019/904 in the national legal framework will be finalized by all EU member states, BFG Packaging’s new products will make a difference for the better in the services provided to millions of European consumers, as well as for the environment and ultimately for the communities.
BFG Packaging has completed the first phase of its investment in a new production unit, dedicated to the range of 100% ecological and compostable rigid takeaway food packaging. BFG Packaging is now working on the second phase of development of the new production unit. In this second phase, which is expected to be completed in early 2023, production capacity will triple.
