Pulp molded items are created using plant fiber pulp or waste paper—materials that can be fully recycled and reused—as their base, through distinctive techniques. They’re widely applied in areas like food storage, electrical packaging, cosmetics packaging, plastic-free plant pots, and protective liners for fragile goods.
In recent years, plastic products, one of the three main packaging materials, have seen their drawbacks become more and more pronounced, especially expanded polystyrene products, which have turned into the universally detested "white pollution." The disposal of these polystyrene foam packages causes severe environmental pollution and great harm to the Earth’s ecosystem. Thus, switching to biodegradable, eco-friendly packaging materials, getting rid of "white pollution," and enhancing people’s living environments have become a requirement both globally and domestically.
Dinnerware and industrial packaging produced via pulp molding technology are truly environmentally friendly products. They use natural plant fibers or waste paper as raw materials, with no pollution generated during production or use. Besides playing a positive role in replacing disposable plastic tableware, pulp molded products are also widely used in packaging industrial goods, particularly electronic products. They are gradually becoming part of the mainstream in commercial activities and are currently the most popular substitute for foam plastic products.
Pulp molded products have developed quickly and have bright prospects due to their unique performance strengths:
- Their production process is almost pollution-free, meeting the standards of clean production.
- Raw materials are readily available from a wide range of sources, allowing for use based on local conditions.
- They have good water absorption, along with waterproof, oil-resistant, and leakproof properties.
- Modern production techniques enable high-speed, automated mass production.
With abundant raw material sources, no pollution in production and use, a wide range of applications, light weight, and recyclability, pulp molded products have strong vitality and broad application prospects. Their economic value and status have been widely acknowledged by the international community.
The core idea of sustainable development is people-centered. Plastic-free and biodegradable packaging is the future trend for catering, cosmetics, and even various other industries.
