Sabert Launches Pulp Ultra®, a Game-Changer in Food Packaging
English
Already introduced in Ireland with bespoke childrens’ meal packaging and in France with the Gastronorme range, Sabert Corporation Europe is now launching its latest innovation, Pulp Ultra®, across Europe and the UK & Ireland.
“Over a decade ago, Sabert was the first to bring quality, functional bagasse pulp packaging solutions to the European market. Now, we are pioneering Pulp Ultra®, a game changing next-generation, no-intentionally-added-PFAS formulation that meets both legislative standards and customers’ expectations for superior strength and heat resistance.”
Alex Noake, Senior Vice President and Managing Director for Sabert Europe
Pulp Ultra® – free from intentionally added PFAS
Pulp Ultra® combines performance and versatility and is an ideal packaging solution for fresh, ready-to-eat dishes and hot foods. Made from over 95% bagasse fibres and treated with a barrier spray coating of <5%, Pulp Ultra® delivers outstanding Oil and Grease Resistance (OGR) permeation in direct contact, hot food applications. It outperforms existing market alternatives, including laminated products, and is fully compliant with current legislation.
Pulp Ultra® is freezer-safe and able to retain frozen goods integrity, perishable good freshness, and keep factory conditioned items intact. It is safe for use in microwaves, conventional ovens, and MerryChef applications, and is suitable for single PET sealing or multi-welding. In terms of sustainability, it is recyclable (green in the UK’s Recycling Assessment Methodology (RAM), compliant with the European Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) and certified as Compostable TUV OK Compost Industrial. Home compostable certification will also soon be announced.
Putting food safety first
“Every product we make is rigorously tested to comply with food safety standards. From 12 August 2026, Regulation (EU) No 40/2025 on PPWR introduces new measures, including Article 5(5) paragraph 5, of Regulation (EU) No 40/2025 which restricts and introduces limits on the presence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), often referred to as ‘forever chemicals’ due to their persistence in the environment and the human body. Sabert’s Pulp Ultra® will help customers to stay ahead of these changes with products that already meet the next generation of sustainability standards.”
Isabelle Ernotte, Quality Environment, Health & Safety Manager at Sabert
Award winning innovation
At launch, Pulp Ultra® won the Green Apple Awards’ National Silver in the Paper & Packaging category, from The Green Organisation.
“This award recognises our commitment to innovation and compliance with evolving European standards. To align with new regulatory requirements, Sabert has evolved its entire pulp portfolio into the HC (home compostable) range, and we are proud to be launching Pulp Ultra® across Europe. The launch of Pulp Ultra® is proof that Sabert continues to reinvent food packaging to nourish and protect our world, and always makes food look great!”
Alex Noake, Senior Vice President and Managing Director for Sabert Europe
