Growing global demand for sustainable packaging solutions based on renewable, recyclable/ biodegradable materials has greatly renewed industry activity and interest in molded fiber/pulp packaging. Molded fiber/pulp products are attractive due to their green/sustainable advantages, as the raw materials used are plant-based and/or recycled fibers. Technological developments in molded fiber/pulp materials are also resulting in higher quality packaging products and replacement of conventional plastic products for the various packaging purposes. This is largely driven by government regulations as well as customer demands for plastic alternatives.
Renewable and biodegradable lignocellulosic fibers (including recycled paper, newsprint, cardboard and other natural planted fibers) are the main raw materials for molded pulp products produced by processes, such as pulp preparation, forming, pressing and drying in the mold compression molding to form different sorts of three-dimensional fiber products.
Molded fiber products are commercially used in different packaging markets, such as food (egg and fruit trays), industrial packing (electronics and vehicle parts), disposable items (bedpans and urine bottles) and horticultural trays/pots.
