Richmond, (BC) - Catalyst Paper announced today the launch of BISTRO, a diverse line of uncoated food service papers.

Bistro Wax, Bistro Foil and Bistro Bag, the first entrants to our BISTRO line, are specially-designed bleached grades for a variety of food service applications, including wrappers, basket liners, deli papers, and flat and pinch bottom bags. Available in 15 to 40 pound basis weights (lbs. per 3,000 ft), BISTRO brands are U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) compliant and sustainably produced with available chain-of-custody certification under both the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) and Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI®) standards.

'We are excited to introduce the BISTRO family to the market, following on the recent commercial launch of LEAP, our lightweight food packaging papers,' says Brian Boland, Vice President, Specialty Papers & New Product Development. 'We are confident that BISTRO will satisfy our customer's stringent product requirements, and that our industry-leading support team will exceed their service expectations.'

BISTRO is produced at our FDA-compliant Powell River mill. Catalyst is also a long-time member of the Sustainable Packaging Coalition. See catalystpaper.com/BISTRO for detailed product information.
