BiOrigin Specialty Products Launches New Oil and Grease Resistant Paper

BioGuard paper BiOrigin Specialty Products' new oil and grease-resistant solution blocks oil and grease from leaking through food service wrappers and bags.

June 24, 2025 - BiOrigin Specialty Products (BSP), a leading manufacturer and converter of sustainable specialty papers in North America, is launching a new oil and grease resistant (OGR) paper.

Manufactured with a 100% food-safe, oil and grease-resistant solution that blocks oil and grease from leaking through food service wrappers and bags, BSP's new BioGuard™ paper also promises better efficiencies for OGR paper converters.

"We couldn't be more excited to launch this innovative specialty paper for food service customers," said Wade Kemnitz, BiOrigin Specialty Products' President and Chief Executive Officer. "The new food-safe formula greatly improves converting efficiency by eliminating the paper curling and cracking issues that occurs with other OGR solutions on the market today."

In addition to blocking oil and grease from leaking through food wrappers and bags, the new BioGuard OGR paper also delivers significant improvements in reducing visual staining compared to current industry solutions. BSP's new food-safe solution also allows the paper to continue to be recyclable.

The new BioGuard Paper will be manufactured in the U.S. in BSP's Creative Solutions Network™ of mills throughout the United States and Canada.

BiOrigin Specialty Products is a manufacturer of parent rolls for specialty paper and tissue products for food service, retail packaging, medical and industrial customers. BSP's North American Creative Solutions Network consists of 10, hard-working paper machines and 100 Master Papermakers in its 600-person workforce.
