Cellulose, a new material
The newest addition to the range of options
As an alternative to or combined with other materials, cellulose pulp is the latest thing!
A challenge to meet
As experts in three materials already, wood, cardboard and plastic, embarking on the adventure of cellulose food packaging was a challenge that our teams could not pass by! Drawing on the know-how available in our different departments, trials began in 2021. The teams in France and Canada have been working hard since then. Getting to know cellulose pulp, choosing the right technology to process it, investing in the machines, training the project teams, launching the first fabrication runs, making adjustments and trying again. It’s not all plain sailing, but being able to draw on everyone’s experience in their particular field has been an advantage in this major undertaking.
A SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION
Our moulded fibre packaging solutions are made from renewable resources. Whether it is for the agri-food industry or catering and food services, the pulp used is always suitable for direct food contact. It is a solution for consumers who are looking for alternatives to packaging made from petroleum-based materials. Sometimes a liner is necessary, but it still constitutes a much smaller proportion of the packaging materials than in other solutions on the market and it does not affect the recyclability of the container.
Moulded fibre packaging is entirely recyclable and can go directly into the cardboard recycling stream.
We have turned to cellulose pulp as it offers a perfect combination of the recyclability of cardboard with the technical advantages of plastic. For packaging in various shapes. And in addition it is more environmentally friendly.
