What Is Molded Pulp?
Formed to shape sustainable packaging
Molded pulp is made from a variety of fibrous materials. Such as recycled paper, cardboard or other natural fibers (sugarcane, bamboo, wheat straw). The raw materials help determine the color, surface texture and strength of the packaging.
Molded pulp packaging is formed to shape. So, unlike cardboard boxes, it does does not start as a flat sheet. Instead, it is designed with round corners and complex three-dimensional shapes. As a result egg cartons are a great example.
In recent years, the manufacturing technology has improved. So the final products have a smoother surface and a more sophisticated look & feel. With the improved appearance, sustainable pulp packaging is now being used for a wide range of applications. For instance in addition to traditional protective packaging (end caps, egg cartons).
The growing importance of sustainability has also helped make pulp an attractive option. Not only can it be made from recycled materials, it can also be easily recycled again after its useful life-cycle. If it doesn’t make it to the landfill or recycling facility, the fibers in pulp packaging are biodegradable, unlike plastic and Styrofoam (EPS) packaging.
