Rethinking Plastics: A Shift Toward Sustainable Packaging

For decades, plastics like  polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) have been the go-to materials in packaging, thanks to their versatility and efficiency.

But today, the landscape is changing. Growing concerns about carbon emissions, microplastic pollution, and stricter EU regulations are driving businesses to explore new solutions.

Traditional plastics, long used in a wide range of packaging, are now being reassessed as brands seek a balance between performance and sustainability.

This is where Fiber-Forming comes in. This pulp-based packaging solution is designed to meet modern demands while reducing environmental impact.
