Formed to Shape Packaging
Molded pulp (also known as molded fiber) packaging is made from a variety of fibrous materials such as recycled paper, cardboard offcuts or natural fibers (sugarcane bagasse, bamboo, wheat straw). The raw materials help determine the color, surface texture and physical properties of the packaging
Manufacturing
Pulp packaging is made from a series of steps. First, the raw materials (cardboard / newspaper / natural fibers) are blended with water to make a pulp slurry. A mesh forming tool is lowered into the pulp slurry tank. A vacuum pulls the slurry through the mesh tool until the desired thickness is achieved. The wet parts are released from the mesh tools and dried. The dried parts are bumpy and deformed. To smooth the surfaces, the parts are pressed by heated metal tools. Debossed logos or artwork can also be applied at this stage. Finally, the edges are trimmed and any holes or windows are die cut.
Sustainability
Plastic pollution is one of the most pressing environmental issues. There is widespread evidence that plastic is contaminating our waters, wildlife and negatively impacting human health. Plastic packaging is a large contributor to the global crisis and the search for plastic-free packaging has helped to push the demand for fiber-based packaging.
Recycling rates for plastic are very low. By comparison, the recovery rate for paper and cardboard packaging is quite good and the network to recover them for recycling is well developed. According to the EPA, the recycling rates for paper and paperboard grew from 17% in 1960 to 68% in 2018.
Molded pulp packaging is part of a strong closed loop system – pulp packaging is made from recycled fiber materials and can be easily recycled after its useful life with other paper and cardboard materials.
