Did you know ? The Rochfreeze

Did you know? 🔵 ⚪ 🔴

After presenting the Savoycoat in January, this month we’re spotlighting the Rochfreeze. ❄️

“Roch” refers to La Rochette, the place where it’s manufactured, in the heart of the Alps, while “Freeze” highlights its resistance to low temperatures and humidity! 🌡️

What are its characteristics?

✅ A folding boxboard (FBB) coated on one side with a wood backing.
✅ A reinforced-sizing treatment for a higher water resistance.
✅ Specially designed for application where moisture resistance is essential like frozen or chilled foods.
✅ Suitable for direct food contact.
✅ Has all requirements for a good quality of printing and varnishing.
✅ Suitable for inkjet and laser coding.

Our raw material management Made In France !

🌲 Wood is an essential element in the composition of our cartonboard: it’s our main raw material! Our wood supply is managed within the framework of sustainable forest management.

As an integrated mill, we produce our mechanical pulp on site. This pulp is made from local softwood species such as fir, spruce and douglas fir. It is made from wood chips, also known as sawmill by-products.

These chips are collected from local sawmills within an average 100 km distance of the plant, 95% of which come from the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. 🚛

We also use bark, the main combustible for our biomass boiler.

This collaboration with local sawmillers and players in the wood industry has been going on for over 35 years, and is part of a circular, sustainable economy that is 100% Made In France!
