What about

Deep drawn Dry Molded Fiber products

The reason you mostly see shallow Dry Molded Fiber products is simple—they are easier to form and therefore faster to market. Deeper Dry Molded Fiber products have always been possible at lab scale, but going from the lab to industrialization obviously presents challenges. Solving these challenges is part of our ongoing R&D, included with every license. With industrialization underway, expect to see more deep-drawn products like bottles, trays, and cups.

LIFE CYCLE ANALYSIS

The climate impact of Dry Molded Fiber cutlery is 2.3 g CO2EQ per spoon (3.8g each) or about 0.66 kg CO2EQ per 1 kg product.

RECYCLABILITY

Dry Molded Fiber cutlery are confirmed to have excellent recyclability.

BIODEGRADABILITY

Dry Molded Fiber cutlery are confirmed to be biodegradable.

A taste of innovation and

A spoonful of sustainability

RISE, the Research Institute of Sweden, performed a recyclability report and climate impact study on spoons made from Dry Molded Fiber. And the results show that the dry forming process only stands for a mere 7% of the total climate impact. The rest comes from transportation and manufacturing of input materials.

Questions you might have

What kind of products can I make?

The technology can be used to make most types of three-dimensional rigid convenience packaging. To help our license holders to get started, we have a range of standardized and already validated applications that are ready for market. We can also support you in validating your uniquely designed product and making it ready to be produced.

Are there restrictions on the geometry of a product?

There are a few limitations for what kind of products that the technology can be used for, but there are products that are already validated and there are products remaining to be explored.

Can I get samples of Dry Molded Fiber products?

Absolutely, reach out to us on info@pulpac.com

Can I place an order for Dry Molded Fiber products anywhere?

We have a network of converters and can connect you with the best-suited partners.

Can products be used for cold or hot drinks?

Today we have barriers for both cold and hot drinks.

Can products be used for moist or fatty foods?

We have barrier solutions for products like spoons, trays, lids, bowls – paper products that can hold grease and water without toxic chemicals.

Is it possible to create holes, “buttons” and hinges on a product?

Yes, we call holes “in mold cutting” and we can make both “buttons” and hinges on products.
