Trusted by chefs for over 30 years, Wrapmaster dispensers have been designed to make professional kitchens safer, cleaner and more efficient while helping to reduce waste. AAA endorsed by The Craft Guild of Chefs, Wrapmaster supports chefs and kitchens around the world.

Adrian Brown, managing director of Cofresco Foodservice, said: “It’s astounding to learn that so many chefs have been injured by cardboard cutter boxes – a supposedly essential piece of equipment - when there’s a simple solution.

“Unlike traditional cardboard cutter boxes, Wrapmaster dispensers have concealed blades which completely mitigate the risk of injury and can be properly sanitised by both sanitiser spray and commercial dishwashers, while cardboard cutter boxes harbour germs and create multiple operational challenges. In fact, 99% of chefs believe they pose a hygiene risk.”

Two thirds of chefs reported that cutter box related issues are their biggest challenge when it comes to food wrap waste, with over a quarter (27%) highlighting tangled wrap, which leads to unnecessary spend and undermining sustainability goals.

Brown added: “Nine in ten (92%) chefs consider cling film an essential piece of kit in the kitchen, so there’s a very real need to use a solution that protects chefs, manages waste and supports that all-important bottom line.

“This new research will help businesses identify where chefs are struggling, and offers insight into how small, actionable changes, like levelling up to Wrapmaster, can have a positive impact on safety, productivity and waste management.”
