Transcend Packaging, in partnership with Klüberfood, is introducing Klüberfood 4DC, a vegetable-based processing aid, to improve the manufacturing process of its paper straws. This innovative solution aims to eliminate MOAH and MOSH, substances found in the production process, resulting in an enhanced straw product. Industry organizations are urging stricter regulations for these substances in both food and drink production and packaging. By collaborating with Klüber, Transcend can continue to enhance its production process and meet the demands of major food and beverage brands, ensuring compliance with future legislation across Europe, the UK, and Ireland.
Lorenzo Angelucci, CEO of Transcend Packaging, emphasizes the importance of finding the best solution to ensure consumer safety when it comes to products used with food and beverages. Transcend aims to continuously develop their product portfolio for a more sustainable future, staying ahead of shifting regulations and policies. Angelucci also acknowledges the tightening legislation on consumer safety, as evidenced by France’s ban on mineral oils in packaging materials. By partnering with Klüber, Transcend can strengthen its paper straw offering, providing FMCG and hospitality businesses with a solution to demonstrate enhanced food safety and sustainability practices.
Estelle Robinson, UK Market Sector Manager for UK Food and Beverage at Klüber Lubrication GB, highlights the significance of sustainable and safe food and beverage packaging in today’s active lifestyles. Klüber’s innovative product developments meet both regulatory standards and commercial objectives.
Transcend Packaging’s collaboration with Klüberfood 4DC allows for the creation of a more sustainable and safer paper straw product. By addressing increasing demands for enhanced food safety and sustainability practices, this partnership offers FMCG and hospitality industries the opportunity to demonstrate their commitment to consumer safety and comply with upcoming regulations.
