HZ Green Pulp adopts Pulpac’s Dry Molded Fiber technology to enhance environmental sustainability

MALAYSIA – HZ Green Pulp, one of Asia-Pacific (APAC) market’s largest molded paper pulp groups is licensing PulPac’s Dry Molded Fiber technology to enhance environmental sustainability and cost efficiency across its product range.

Operations will start with convenience products such as lids for hot and cold drinks, food trays and cutlery. 

Sanna Fager, PulPac’s chief commercial officer said: “HZ Green Pulp is a leader in molded paper pulp in their market.

They are very knowledgeable and have a long history of fiber-forming, with many of the big global FMCG brands as their customers. 

“Dry Molded Fiber is an innovation that can transform the packaging industry from within and meet both market and planet needs, which is of great interest to packaging producers worldwide.”

Dry Molded Fiber is a resource-efficient, fiber-forming technology that can replace single-use plastics.

It is faster than traditional fiber molding and matches plastic processing on cost, output, and speed, but with a significantly lower environmental impact.

PulPac bases its business model on partnerships and licensing. Turn-key machine solutions are provided by PulPac’s network of partners, enabling fast technology scaling.

Dato Dr. Donald Yap, CEO of HZ Green Pulp added: “Our mission is to provide quality combined with sustainable and cost-efficient solutions.

“As a leading packaging producer, we can be a force in minimizing waste and using resources responsibly. Implementing Dry Molded Fiber will drive sustainability within our operations and customer network.”

The roll-out of PulPac’s technology is accelerating, and Dry Molded Fiber is now being implemented by producers worldwide, asserts Fager.

“We aim to establish Dry Molded Fiber as the new standard worldwide. When scaling a new technology, every new partnership is essential,” adds Fager.

“A client that sets up Dry Molded Fiber production confirms that the industry sees our technology as a solution for the future.

“Asia is a big market, and we welcome more licensees and partners to join our community and drive packaging sustainability in the APAC region. Working together, we can meet the market’s and planet’s need for responsibly produced packaging.”

According to Smithers’ report, the fiber-based packaging market is expected to reach US$503.4 billion by 2027.

It is anticipated that coated fiber-based packaging will become more popular, driven by the development of recyclable/repulpable coating products.
