ALPHARETTA, Ga. (News release) -- BiOrigin Specialty Products (BSP), a leading manufacturer and converter of sustainable specialty papers in North America, is launching a revolutionary 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.
