With “Koehler NexPlus® OGR,” Koehler Paper is introducing an innovative packaging paper solution that has been developed specifically for the needs of restaurant chains. This paper product is not just the ideal choice for burgers, french fries, wraps, and other fast food products, but is also highly grease-resistant and recyclable to boot – an important step on the road to greater sustainability. It is against this backdrop that visitors to the Koehler Group’s booth in Hall 8a at interpack 2026 got the chance to see the packaging paper for themselves and experience “Koehler NexPlus® OGR” at work in the flesh.
Recyclable paper packaging for a growing fast food industry
The fast food industry is booming worldwide – and with it the need for sustainable packaging. That is exactly where “Koehler NexPlus® OGR” comes in: The paper product provides a powerful barrier against grease and oil without using any fluorochemicals. This makes it a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to the packaging paper used in the fast food industry to date. “With ‘Koehler NexPlus® OGR,’ we have created a packaging paper product for restaurant chains that meets all functional requirements and boosts circular economy practices, conserving valuable resources as a result. On top of that, using sustainable packaging solutions is a surefire way to strengthen a brand image, since it shows a genuine commitment to the environment and makes it clear that the corresponding company walks the walk when it comes to taking its responsibilities seriously” explains Christoph Wachter, the Director of Flexible Packaging Paper at Koehler Paper.
Sustainable packaging: Innovative paper solutions with ‘NexFlex®’ from Koehler Paper
The research and development team from Koehler Innovation & Technology worked with the experts from Koehler Paper to develop the NexFlex® product range, a unique and recyclable generation of flexible packaging paper products. The aim here is to replace plastic in packaging by using so-called barrier paper wherever possible. The range covers a broad spectrum: It includes standard coated and uncoated paper used in laminates for pouches, sachets, and other applications, making them suitable for a wide range of packaging for food and non-food products. The next generation of paper for flexible packaging are sustainable barrier paper with functional surfaces for product-specific protection (Koehler NexPlus®). The NexFlex® product family also includes paper coated on one side with good dimensional stability and high smoothness (Koehler NexCoat®), as well as uncoated paper with a natural appearance (Koehler NexPure®). Its recyclability has also been verified by the Papiertechnische Stiftung (PTS) institute with Cepi testing.
