Sacma Develops Compostable Ovenable Bag for Rotisserie Using NatureFlex™ Films

Italian paper bag manufacturer, Sacma S.p.A., founded by Eligio Maestri, has been producing paper-based single use flexible packaging for over 55 years. Although the family-owned business has always been known for its high-quality products and outstanding customer service, it is also praiseworthy for its commitment to sustainability since its early days. In 2007, Sacma moved to new premises in their journey to reducing their environmental impact and enhancing self-sufficiency, producing today most of the energy that they require with photovoltaic panels on their factory roof. In 2023, the company obtained the ISO 14001 certification and are now actively pursuing ISO 14064 with the vision to become carbon neutral in the next few years.

Today, Sacma is expanding their eco-friendly B.Life range with B.Life Gaia, a revolutionary packaging solution offering a renewable and compostable alternative to pack hot products such as cooked chicken. These new bags combine FSC certified grass paper with a NatureFlex™ cellulosic inner liner from Futamura. The resulting product is a highly technical solution for the rotisserie segment: a high performance bag that also provides valuable end of life options.
