Sustana has received ISEGA certification for its EnviroLife and EnviroNatural recycled fiber grades, confirming their suitability for use in food contact applications across global markets.
The certification follows an extensive evaluation by ISEGA, an internationally recognized testing and certification body for food contact materials. According to Sustana, the approval verifies that both recycled fiber grades comply with a wide range of regulatory and safety requirements governing paper and paperboard used in direct contact with food.
ISEGA confirmed compliance with U.S. FDA regulations for paper components used with aqueous, fatty and dry foods, as well as with EU Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004 on food contact materials. The certification also covers Germany’s BfR guidelines, the Council of Europe’s technical guidance for paper and board, CONEG and EU toxics-in-packaging requirements, and DIN EN 71 standards related to chemical and heavy metal migration.
With the certification in place, EnviroLife and EnviroNatural can be used in papers and packaging designed for direct contact with dry, moist and fatty foods, supporting applications where both performance and food safety are critical.
Sustana said the recognition strengthens its ability to support paper and board producers, converters, packaging manufacturers and brand owners seeking recycled fiber solutions that meet stringent safety standards while maintaining high post-consumer content.
Manufactured in the United States, EnviroLife and EnviroNatural are positioned to support circular economy objectives by combining verified food safety with environmental performance. The company said the certification further reinforces its long-standing regulatory compliance framework for recycled fiber products used in packaging applications.
Sustana is a North American producer of high-quality recycled fiber and paper products with a strong focus on sustainability and circularity. Through vertically integrated operations spanning fiber recovery, recycled fiber production and paper manufacturing, the company supplies materials used in food packaging, printing and other everyday paper applications.
