Vulcanized fiber as a sustainable packaging alternative
The advantages of alternative packaging materials
The advantages of alternative packaging materials can be very different. Firstly, most materials can be degraded or recycled much better than plastic. In addition, the majority of alternative packaging uses no or significantly less fossil raw materials. Here, renewable raw materials are used. Thus, from an environmental point of view, the alternatives are clearly superior to plastic. Furthermore, plastic also has clear weaknesses in processing and in some other properties. For example, the temperature resistance and wear resistance of plastic are often insufficient. Some of the various alternative packagings have been specially developed so that these weaknesses no longer represent a limitation in processing. Finally, the health consequences of food packaging in particular have not been fully clarified, which could lead to a further need for alternatives in the future.
Vulcanised fibre as an alternative
Vulcanised fibre combines all these advantages. In addition, there are various factors that speak for vulcanised fibre as a material. One of these is that the material is biodegradable, as it is made from the cotton plant. At the same time it is light, flexible and does not splinter. In addition, the material is very temperature-resistant, storable and coatable for alternative packaging. These are all properties that make vulcanised fibre the optimal solution for alternative packaging. The possible applications are almost unlimited and you probably know best which packaging can be made from our material.
