Zanders’ super sustainable zangrass paper launches

German manufacturer of high-quality special papers Zanders is showcasing the new Zangrass, an uncoated grass paper with a special tactile feel which is both recyclable and compostable, at FachPack in Nuremberg. Zangrass was developed especially for sustainable packaging.

Furthermore, Zanders presents the newly introduced barrier paper: Zanbarrier NGR.

Zangrass offers a natural, heterogeneous look with fine grass dots on a greenish-beige basic tone. It consists of 20 to 40 percent virgin fibers of sun-dried grass to achieve an enhanced quality. The rest consists of bleached fresh fiber pulp.

The optical and tactile natural character of Zangrass is topped off by the uncoated, textured surface. At the same time, the quality has very good stability and processing properties and can be used for flexo printing, the supplier reports.

From fruit bowls and vegetable trays in the form of carton box to reusable paper carrier bags up to applications in the field of natural cosmetics: Zangrass is mainly used in the segment of organic and natural products. Not only does it transport the message of naturalness and sustainability on the outside but it is also produced in an environmentally friendly way.

Up to 75 percent of CO₂ emissions can be saved in the process chain for the production of the grass paper in comparison to pure fiber-based papers and also the water consumption is lower.
