Linwood Raker Ltd is delivering the future of sustainable baking paper, combining high-performance solutions with strong environmental, food safety and compliance credentials for professional bakeries
Linwood Raker Ltd is a multi-award-winning British manufacturer specialising in high-performance baking papers for the professional baking industry. Through its Food Paper brand, the company supplies industrial bakeries, retail chains, food manufacturers and artisan producers with baking papers that combine outstanding performance with industry-leading sustainability credentials.
Based in Nottinghamshire, Linwood Raker has built its reputation on solving three of the biggest challenges facing modern bakeries: sustainability and compliance, food safety, and cost-effective operational performance.
Sustainability built into the product
Unlike many suppliers who simply rely on traditional environmental certifications, Food Paper takes a more progressive approach. Every sheet of baking paper is manufactured using pulp sourced from regenerative farmed forestry, helping to support actively managed forests that improve biodiversity, carbon sequestration and long-term forest regeneration. This approach enables bakeries to make meaningful progress towards their own environmental objectives while giving procurement teams confidence in the provenance of the products they purchase.
As environmental legislation continues to evolve, compliance has become just as important as performance. Food Paper has been developed to help customers future-proof their supply chains through full alignment with the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), while also providing complete transparency throughout the sourcing process. In addition, all Food Paper baking papers are guaranteed PFAS-free and approved as recyclable through the On-Pack Recycling Label (OPRL) scheme, making them one of the few baking papers in the UK that can genuinely support circular economy ambitions.
Performance with commercial value
Performance remains at the heart of every product. Food Paper’s range has been designed specifically for professional baking environments, delivering reliable release properties, consistent quality and dependable supply. Whether supplying large industrial bakeries operating around the clock or regional and artisan producers looking for premium presentation and consistency, the focus is always the same: helping customers improve efficiency without increasing cost.
The company also recognises that sustainability must make commercial sense. Bakeries today face increasing pressure to reduce operating costs while maintaining product quality and meeting ever higher environmental expectations. Food Paper has been developed to address both objectives simultaneously by delivering competitive pricing alongside dependable performance and technical expertise.
At its core, Linwood Raker believes sustainability should be designed into the raw material itself rather than simply demonstrated through certification. That philosophy has positioned the company as one of the UK’s leading innovators in baking paper and has earned recognition across the baking sector for combining environmental leadership with practical commercial value.
Today, Food Paper continues to help bakeries of every size reduce sourcing risk, strengthen food safety, improve operational efficiency and demonstrate genuine environmental responsibility proving that high-performance baking paper can deliver measurable benefits for both business and the planet.
