Twin Rivers Paper Company has introduced an abaca-free, wood-based fiber for use in teabags and beverage filtration applications.
EcoInfuse™ is made for performance and is compatible with virtually all types of non-heat sealing papers and tea bag packaging equipment. Its unique fiber formulation delivers superior crimping and folding properties to assure reliable formation and quality, according to the company. It is available in basis weights from 7.5 to 10 lbs.
Twin Rivers says the base filter material used to make the EcoInfuse paper is less subject to crop fluctuations and pricing volatility experienced by abaca suppliers. EcoInfuse is a value alternative to abaca and the tea filter paper of choice around the globe, according to the company.
