Regardless of whether you run a mobile sales stand or a fast food restaurant or even organise large events: You need to be confident that your food packaging is sustainable, safe to use and legal.

PFAS were often used in the industry on bagasse and other fibre materials as they prevented oil or grease from leaking out of food packaging. However, there is now increasing evidence against the use of PFAS. This has led to regulations being issued regarding its use, as well as an increasing number of national bans.

From 1 January 2024, we will completely discontinue the manufacture of products to which PFAS is added. To ensure clear and transparent communication, we have changed the article numbers of the affected products.

The organisers of the Sweden Rock Festival wanted to make a change, they wanted to make their festival more sustainable and create a very special recognition value:

‘Food packaging has to be sustainable and this is especially true for festivals. We started to do without single-use plastics in 2019. In 2022, we finally replaced the plastic cups with paper cups made from sugar cane. That was important to reach our current standard.’

The Sweet and Breeze cups have become a hit at Sweden Rock Festival. With the Pistonhead's unique branding, numerous cups filled with beer, soft drinks, wine and much more were handed out to the 40,000 visitors.

It's safe to say that PFAS is creating a bit of a split. And we want to help you navigate the complex legal landscape without having to second-guess your food packaging's legality, safety or functionality.

With the production stop in January 2024, we now offer one of Europe's most extensive range of boxes, bowls, plates and sealable trays without added PFAS. This makes it easier for you to focus on serving great food and building up your business - not hurdling legislation or food safety concerns.
