Sulapac® Eco Packaging for a Natural, Functional and Greener Future
A sustainable alternative to plastic, Sulapac® redefines traditional packaging by combining low carbon footprint biocomposites with proven durability and premium design.
Traditional plastics like polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) cause major problems for the environment.
They break down into harmful microplastics that persist in nature and carry a high carbon footprint due to their reliance on petroleum, a non-renewable resource that drives resource depletion and strains the environment.
With tightening EU regulations, rising consumer expectations, and increasing environmental costs, relying on these conventional plastics is quickly turning from an advantage into a liability.
That’s why more businesses are phasing out conventional plastics in favor of smarter, eco-friendly alternatives like Sulapac®.
Why Choose Sulapac®?
Sulapac® is made from naturally sourced materials and plant-based binders, reducing dependence on fossil-based plastics.
Offers a natural look with smooth or textured finishes. Depending on the grade, it may include wood chips or provide a ceramic-like or natural smooth touch.
Sulapac® breaks down without leaving behind harmful microplastics or toxic substances. It’s safe for people and the environment, even in marine settings.
Designed for industrial composting and recyclability, supporting a circular economy with minimal waste.
With up to 90% lower cradle-to-gate carbon emissions compared to traditional PP (fossil-based) plastics, Sulapac® helps reduce environmental impact at scale.
Compliant with EU’s strict food contact regulations, Sulapac® ensures safe packaging for dry and oily food and cosmetic products without risk to consumers.
The Science Behind Sulapac®
Sulapac’s® bio-based composite material combines bio-based binders and sustainable fillers like side stream wood and natural mineral clay to deliver a highly functional, eco-friendly solution.
This careful blend of up to 100% bio-based materials improves the rate of biodegradation, enhances functionality, and refines the product’s appearance.
Breaks Down Naturally. Leaves Nothing Harmful Behind.
Sulapac® is engineered to biodegrade naturally, just like fallen leaves or wood, without leaving harmful microplastics behind. Tests under industrial composting conditions (EN13432) show it fully breaks down and returns to soil within about three months.
Moreover, the plant-based materials in Sulapac® absorb CO₂ during growth, giving it a much lower carbon footprint than fossil-based plastics.
Biodegradation requires the presence of heat, moisture, and microorganisms—without these, Sulapac® remains quite stable.
In contrast, petroleum-based plastics physically break down into microplastics that persist in the environment. These microplastics accumulate through the food chain, ultimately reaching humans.
Sulapac® avoids this problem: even if it escapes recycling or composting systems, it fully biodegrades in nature, leaving no microplastic residues—making it safer for both ecosystems and people.
Additionally, the plant-based materials used in Sulapac® absorb CO₂ during growth, resulting in a much lower overall carbon footprint compared to petroleum-based plastics.
