Molded pulp packaging refers to a sustainable packaging solution crafted from recycled paperboard or other natural fiber materials, such as bamboo or sugarcane. It undergoes a specific manufacturing process that involves hydrating the fibers to create a pulp, which is then molded into desired shapes through various techniques, such as thermoforming or pressure molding. Molded pulp packaging finds applications in the food and beverage (F&B), electronics, and healthcare industries for producing egg cartons, food trays, protective coverings, medical equipment trays, disposable plates, wine shippers, and seed pots. It is known for its biodegradability, compostability, lightweight nature, cost-effectiveness, and shock-absorbing properties. Moreover, molded pulp packaging offers several advantages, such as recyclability, customizability, sustainability, space efficiency, and lower carbon footprint compared to traditional packaging materials.
