Pulp-Injection: Where Design Meets Sustainability
Pulp-Injection delivers the precision and strength of traditional plastics with a recyclable, paper-based material.
Tested recyclable to PTS-RH 021:2012

Biomass Mark 90% (Japan Organics Recycling Association No. 230137)
Petroleum-based plastics like PE, PP, and ABS have long been favored for their functionality and strength. However, they come with a cost: plastic waste, high carbon footprints, and dependence on non-renewable fossil resources.
Regulations and rebranding needs are pushing companies to seek alternatives, but traditional paper often lacks the flexibility and strength needed to replace plastic in molded parts.
Pulp-Injection technology offers businesses the better alternative they need – durable, recyclable packaging designed to meet today’s demands and future regulations.
Why Choose Pulp-Injection?
Clean, smooth surface inspired by traditional Japanese paper, with minimal fiber dust. It creates a natural, premium impression for your brand.
Injection molding creates precise, complex shapes like ribs, flanges, embossing, and custom branding, perfect for various applications and existing packaging lines.
As a paper-based solution, it is recyclable and may ease compliance with plastic taxes and EPR regulations, helping brands adopt more sustainable packaging systems.
The molding process produces less fiber dust, making it ideal for delicate or luxury items. Production takes place in ISO Class 8 cleanrooms to ensure top hygiene standards.
Pulp-Injection is made from 90% biobased materials and significantly lowers carbon emissions from sourcing to disposal.
Its lightweight design cuts shipping weight, reduces volume, and lowers transportation emissions. Despite being just 0.6–1.0 mm thick, it’s strong and up to 40% lighter than PET.
The Materials Behind Pulp-Injection
Pulp-Injection uses a proprietary pellet made mainly from pulp and starch, with a small amount of water, to create a sustainable, high-performance packaging products.
With over 90% bio-based content and more than 50% pulp, this material is classified as non-corrugated fiberboard under the PAP 21 recycling code, making it fully recyclable within existing paper recycling systems*.

Key Specifications
All products are custom-designed. Our sales team are more than happy to discuss with you specific design requirements, quantity, and sustainability challenges.
The Pulp-Injection Process
For the Pulp-Injection production process, we don’t use ‘Thermoforming’ but rather ‘Injection molding’. Our process know-how alongside the combination of unique material composition gives the product’s one-of-kind shape and properties.
Material preparation
The Pulp-Injection pellet is first moisturized to be injectable into a mold.
Injection molding
The moistened material is then injected into a mold, where it takes on its designed shape.
Drying in mold cavities
Once shaped, the product remains in the mold while the water content is vaporized, ensuring dimensional stability and a unique, rigid finish.
Post trimming
After molding and drying, any excess material is trimmed, leaving a clean, finished product ready for packaging or further processing.
