What is pulp molded packaging, or what is called molded fiber?

Really simple, the pulp molded packaging is a clean, renewable and biodegradable raw material, usually made from recycled waste paper/cardboard or fibers like virgin bamboo slag, bagasse, etc., which we will talk about later. While relatively new compared to some of the more traditional paper packaging materials, pulp is rapidly growing in popularity and reputation as a sustainable packaging option for large, custom, heavy, small and fragile products. The design possibilities are endless; from end caps, trays, plates, bowls to clamshell containers and more.

pulp molded packaging is a recyclable packaging material designed to be recycled again. The pulp fiber material you may encounter will likely have many uses during its life cycle. Due to the nature of pulp, all its products can be recycled at any home or public recycling center. Don't worry if you stumble upon it in nature, it will completely decompose within 3-6 months.

Pulp can be used to protect products in transit, such as cans, technical equipment, as well as food service trays and beverage carriers. Other typical uses are cup lids, trays, plates, bowls and clamshell containers. As mentioned above, virgin fiber pulp is ideal for reducing the risk of contamination in the medical, cosmetic and food industries.

The possibilities for pulp molded packaging are almost endless - from small complex products that require a higher degree of internal protective packaging, to doors and kitchen units that require edge protection. So currently polystyrene and plastic are used to shape around objects and act as inserts, with pulp as a sustainable alternative.
