The shortcut
Fluorinated coatings
The cheapest way to make paper grease-resistant is a fluorochemical treatment. It works,
it is invisible, and it puts PFAS into the compost — which is exactly the outcome
composters and regulators are now testing for.
Our route
Under 100 ppm, verified
BPI certification requires the manufacturer to declare no added fluorinated chemicals
and to test total organic fluorine below 100 ppm. Above that number, a product is
disqualified outright. That is the same limit that applies to our cups and straws.
What you get
A claim you can print
Because the fluorine limit is part of the certification and not a marketing line, you
can state it. We give you the exact wording your packaging can carry, in writing, before
you commit to a print run.
