Foodservice Packaging Solutions
Compostable Packaging for the Modern Foodservice Industry
As consumer demand for sustainable practices grows, the foodservice industry is under increasing pressure to improve its environmental performance. Futamura is leading the way with innovative, cellulose-based packaging solutions designed to meet the rigorous needs of foodservice operations – without compromising on performance or safety.
Our flagship product range, including NatureFlex™ compostable films, offers an alternative to conventional plastic packaging for applications across catering, takeaway, quick service restaurants, and hospitality venues.
Why Choose Futamura for Foodservice Packaging?
Certified Compostable
Our NatureFlex™ films are made from renewable wood pulp and certified to industrial and home composting standards. They break down in industrial or home composting environments, making them ideal for single-use foodservice items.
Great for closed loop events, compostable packaging enables all the packaging to be composted along with food waste. In addition, as is often the case, a lot of packaging in this sector tends to be highly contaminated with food rendering it unsuitable for recycling, so composting is a great end of life disposal route.
Exceptional Barrier Properties
Futamura’s compostable films offer excellent barrier to oils and gases. A range of moisture barrier materials are also available—essential for maintaining food freshness and hygiene in a fast-paced foodservice setting.
Heat-Sealable & Durable
Designed with the foodservice industry in mind, our films are grease-resistant. We have specific grades that are heat-sealable, microwaveable and ovenable, perfect for sandwich wraps, to-go containers, snack pouches, and hot food packaging.
Suitable for Lamination to Paper & Cartonboard
In line with today’s consumer preference for natural-looking packaging, NatureFlex can be laminated to paper and cartonboard to provide windows, barrier performance and stand out on shelf.
Transparency & Printability
