At Anuga FoodTec in Cologne, 23–26 February 2027, Easysnap Technology presents Papersnap®, the paper-based single-dose for sauces, dressings and spreads in food service.
Portion packs for sauces, dressings and spreads are about to change. The Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), Regulation (EU) 2025/40, restricts single-use plastic portions in HoReCa from 2030, and food service operators are already asking their suppliers for an alternative. At Anuga FoodTec 2027 we show Papersnap, the paper-based single-dose that still opens with one fold. Bring your sauce, your dressing or your honey, and we will talk about how it fits in a paper pack.
Papersnap: paper-based single-dose for food service
Papersnap is a single-dose sachet made with more than 80% paper and less than 5% plastic, designed to replace plastic portions in hotels, restaurants and catering.
- What it replaces: plastic sachets, stick packs and thermoformed cups with a peelable lid.
- What goes in: ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, dressings, syrups, jams, honey and dips.
- What is behind the claim: certified recyclable in the paper stream by Cyclos-HTP, assessed under the CEPI / 4evergreen protocol, and made with FSC®-certified fibre.
- Where it stands on the PPWR: designed to stay outside the Annex V restrictions on single-use plastic portions in HoReCa.*
*Based on current interpretive guidance on Regulation (EU) 2025/40. Implementing acts and final test methods are still pending.
For the full picture, read Papersnap for food service and HoReCa in Europe and how single-dose packaging can meet the demands of the PPWR.
