Corporate philosophy
Our aim is to implement effective measures to promote positive development in all relevant environmental areas through our commitment to sustainability in product development, manufacturing and management.
Through corporate initiatives such as strict adherence to recognized compliance standards, ongoing review of our supply chains, and the establishment of a binding code of conduct, we consciously set a high standard for ourselves. In addition, we are passionate about supporting regional biodiversity projects and investing in humanitarian aid projects as a way to give back to society.

Our classic product. Alustar is the ideal choice wherever valuable food products need uncompromising protection—whether in scorching heat or freezing cold. Our film is tear-resistant, durable, and easy to cut to size.
Alustar products labeled “recycled aluminum foil” are made entirely of recycled aluminum. Products without this label also contain mostly recycled aluminum, though the percentage varies.

Mission Safe Food
Alustar film offers comprehensive protection for valuable food products. Key features include protection from light, odors, excessive humidity, freezer burn, flavor transfer, and drying out. Alustar is also an indispensable tool for every barbecue enthusiast. It locks in juices, enhances flavor, prevents charring, and thus protects your precious grilled food.
Mission reuseable
Aluminum foil is the only type of foil that is 100% recyclable. Nothing is lost in the recycling process. Simply crumple it up after use and toss it into the aluminum can recycling bin the next time you take out the trash.
Cut, rather than tear. Precise, economical film cuts with no waste. With the patented Swiss Cutting System, every cut is effortless—even after the thousandth one. The cutting system is perfectly protected and completely child-safe.

Mission Safe Food
According to UNEP (UNEP Food Waste Index Report 2021), the unnecessary disposal of food in Western countries is one of the most serious environmental problems, with correspondingly far-reaching consequences. By carefully preserving surplus food for later consumption, everyone can do their part to improve the situation. Jet-Cut food wrap offers an effective and simple solution. With just 4 grams of wrap, you can protect 1,000 grams of food.
Backstar stands out as an extremely sustainable product thanks to its unique properties. It eliminates the need for fat or oil and makes it unnecessary to clean the baking sheet with fresh water and harsh chemicals. In addition, Backstar protects your food from burning and prevents it from sticking to the baking pan or baking sheet.
Our baking paper is manufactured without PFAS—for natural, safe, and eco-friendly baking without harmful chemicals.

Mission Renewable
Backstar’s paper stock comes from Swedish forests that are managed in an exemplary and sustainable manner. All wood used is FSC-certified. After harvesting, the cellulose pulp is finely ground and all trapped oxygen is removed, resulting in high grease resistance and air impermeability. The ultra-thin protective coating applied to both sides completes the product.
This reusable baking paper is a natural product and is therefore biodegradable and can be composted at home.

Biodiversity in Thurgau
Transition zones in the landscape are particularly valuable because they are where different habitats meet on a small scale. To promote biodiversity in Thurgau, hedgerows that have disappeared are being replanted so that endangered bird species, such as the yellowhammer, can once again thrive in the region. We are providing long-term support for this project by helping to ecologically improve and strategically supplement hedgerows, field copses, forest edges, and their surrounding areas.
