Plastic-free & paper-recyclable butter wrap

PLASTIC-FREE and recyclable butter wrap has been added to Sirane’s sustainable Earth Packaging range – with a number of different barrier options available.

Our Earthfilm Butter-Wrap uses coated papers to provide an easily recyclable alternative to the butter-wraps commonly used currently in the industry.

All coatings are eco-friendly water-based barrier coatings -proving the required grease and moisture barrier – and even our print option is eco-friendly.

Simon Balderson, Sirane MD, said: “We’re expanding our popular Earthfilm range by adding butter-wraps, which are sustainable, recyclable and plastic-free.

“Our Earthfilm Butter-Wrap is exciting news for the butter industry. It’s got all the properties of butter-wraps currently used, but crucially is paper-recyclable.

“We can even provide metallic gold/silver papers, giving the same aesthetics as the packaging currently used – while still offering a paper-recyclable product.”

Options for our butter-wrap include standard, Xtra (with moisture barrier on both sides) and metallised film (Ultra) with higher barrier as well as a metallised finish.

We can also supply the materials as lids for butter packed in tubs.

All printing is done in-house using only water-based inks.
