Compliance Insight: Why Biodegradable Pulp Trays Are Becoming a Retail Standard
With global regulations tightening around PFAS restrictions, single-use plastics, and food-contact
safety requirements, retailers and processors are shifting to molded pulp solutions. Biodegradable
pulp trays align with EN13432, FDA, and LFGB standards, offering a compliant, scalable alternative
for fresh-food packaging portfolios.
Regulatory Pressure on Plastic Packaging
Regions including the EU, GCC, and North America have strengthened restrictions on non-recyclable
plastic trays—particularly EPS, black PET, and PFAS-treated formats. Retailers face increased
compliance risks and eco-tax exposure when continuing legacy materials.
Molded pulp trays, supported by EN13432 or ASTM D6400 frameworks, offer a compliant path for modern
fresh-food operations.
Fresh-Food Performance Advantages
- Natural breathability helps reduce condensation for meat and produce.
- Rigid molded-fiber walls support stacking, long transport routes, and chilled display.
- Molded pulp can reduce CO₂ emissions by 40–70% compared to plastic trays, based on LCA data.
These attributes make biodegradable pulp trays a strong fit for supermarkets, delis, and processors.
Documentation for Global Importers
Major retailers increasingly require PFAS-free verification, food-contact test reports, and
compostability certificates. Gaps in documentation can disqualify suppliers from tenders and
private-label programs.
