Introducing GrasiKraft™

GrasiKraft™ is a revolutionary paper-based void fill product made with grass fibers as well as fibers from recycled paper. It combines the softness and unique look of grass material with the strength and durability needed for void fill. Thanks to our partnership with creapaper, this innovative paper product is helping to diversify the sources of renewable fibers that can be used in sustainable dunnage material.

Ranpak’s integration of GrasiKraft™ paper into its core product line is the first time in the world a company has made grass paper part of its standard offering. Ongoing innovation and the diversification of paper fiber material is a key step forward in our mission to Deliver a Better World®.

A uniquely sustainable customer experience

The look and feel of grass fibers signal brands’ commitment to sustainability with each unboxing. GrasiKraft™ is softer to the touch than other kraft paper products and the speckled texture shows off the natural grass material in its composition. GrasiKraft™ paper is biodegradable and 100% curbside recyclable, making disposal easy and helping to support a circular economy for packaging.

Made with a blend of sustainably harvested grass fibers and fibers from recycled paper, this paper combines the performance of Ranpak’s other paper varieties with the unique benefits offered by using grass as a fiber source.

Grass is a highly renewable resource that can be harvested multiple times per year. Harvesting grass fibers from the margin areas of agricultural land can help minimize the travel distances from sourcing to processing while also maximizing the productive output of these areas. In addition, grass paper consumes less water in the manufacturing process compared to other kraft paper void fill products.

An ideal balance of sustainability and protective power is achieved by mixing the soft, distinctive fibers of grass with recycled kraft paper. Because of this balanced blend of materials, GrasiKraft™ achieves the same application and paper performance as recycled kraft paper making it an excellent choice for any in-the-box packaging applications.

Committed to material innovation

The grass used in GrasiKraft™ paper is an important source of alternative fiber. Grass can be harvested from multiple environments including agricultural lands, as well as the margins of renewed moorlands, which are grassy areas on agricultural properties that had formerly been drained. When re-wetted, they provide a perfect source of renewable grass while also providing important habitats for wildlife, helping to protect biodiversity.

Thanks to the sustainability benefits offered by using grass fibers combined by the diversification of renewable material sources, when it comes to void fill material, grass is always greener.
