Collaborations and expansions
PulPac, in its quest for sustainable packaging solutions, has recently entered into a series of strategic partnerships, aiming to broaden the applications of its Dry Molded Fiber technology.
The company’s proprietary tech boasts advantages over traditional fiber forming, including a reduction in cost and environmental impact, due to its minimal water and energy consumption.
PulPac joined forces with Greece-based Matrix Pack Group to develop single-use cutlery and with Seaman Paper, a global manufacturer of environmentally sustainable specialty paper and packaging solutions, to unlock new possibilities for customized Dry Molded Fiber packaging using colored and patterned barrier crepe paper.
The packaging giant also partnered with Danish brand Lakrids By Bülow to explore confectionery packaging alternatives and equipped Swedish coffee chain Da Matteo with Dry Molded Fiber takeaway lids.
Additionally, PulPac joined the not-for-profit print and paper advocacy group Two Sides as a new member. Packaging Insights sat down with the company’s market developer, Sara Fransson, to discuss the benefits of collaborative knowledge in a dynamic packaging landscape.
