Why Moulded Fibre (pulp) Packaging?

A high-performance, plastic-free packaging solution engineered to meet modern sustainability, regulatory and automation demands.

Thermoformed moulded fibre is redefining what fibre packaging can do. Unlike traditional moulded pulp, thermoforming delivers precise geometry, smooth surfaces and consistent performance; making it a viable, scalable replacement for plastic across demanding supply chains.

Plastic packaging is under pressure

Across Europe and the UK, plastic packaging is becoming increasingly difficult to justify. Retailers, regulators and consumers are demanding alternatives that reduce environmental impact, without compromising product protection, efficiency or cost control.

  • Increasing plastic taxes and EPR fees
  • PPWR 2030 targets accelerating plastic reduction
  • Retailer pressure for fibre-based alternatives
  • Consumer distrust of plastic packaging
  • Limited recyclability of many plastic formats

Why fibre is replacing plastic packaging

Fibre packaging has evolved rapidly. Advances in material science and manufacturing mean fibre can now meet the functional and aesthetic expectations once reserved for plastic. Fibre also aligns with sustainability goals and regulatory direction.

Key Benefits

Plastic-free, renewable material

Strong shelf appeal

Positive consumer perception

Protective qualities

Recyclable in paper streams

Lower environmental impact

Designed for regulation, not retrofitted for it

Packaging regulations are tightening fast. Thermoformed moulded fibre allows businesses to proactively align with current and future legislation, reducing risk and long-term cost exposure.

  • PPWR 2030 alignment (EU)
  • Reduction of plastic content
  • Improved recyclability scores
  • Potential EPR cost optimisation (UK)
  • Eliminates PPT (UK)
  • Supports retailer sustainability targets

Performance Where It Matters...

Sustainability only works when packaging performs. Thermoformed moulded fibre is designed to deliver consistency, strength and compatibility across demanding production and logistics environments.

  • Consistent geometry
  • Stackable & de-stackable designs
  • Top-seal and lidding compatible
  • Designed for automation
  • Engineered for specific applications
