Modepack reshapes packaging with “Lignin Mailing Bag”

CROATIA – Modepack, a leading European manufacturer of eCommerce and courier packaging, has launched an innovative product, the “Lignin Mailing Bag”, aimed at reshaping the packaging sector.

The Lignin Mailing Bag is crafted from a mix of one of nature’s most overlooked materials and post-consumer recycled plastics.

This innovative packaging solution is a result of the increasing pressure to reduce the environmental footprint of packaging and address sustainability needs.

This advancement is not just a sustainable alternative but a transformative shift from traditional packaging.

Lignin is the second most abundant biopolymer on the planet and is often referred to as the “natural glue” that holds plants together.

Historically, lignin has been treated as waste in the paper and pulp industry.

In contrast, in the present, lignin, a natural, renewable polymer, is harnessed to create high-performance, sustainable packaging.

The recent advancements in material science from Lignin Industries AB have been developed by Modepack lignin into a biobased thermoplastic, “Renol®”, that offers both durability and environmental responsibility.

“This is more than just another eco-friendly mailer, it’s a transformative step towards a greener future,” emphasises Jure Širić, Managing Director at Modepack.

“By using Renol®, we’ve been able to develop a solution that meets the real-world needs of businesses performance, cost-efficiency, and sustainability, all in one.”

Renol® is made primarily from a blend of recycled LDPE derived from lignin, a byproduct of forestry and agricultural industries.

Lignin Mailing Bags, developed using Renol®, a renewable thermoplastic made from lignin, are recyclable like normal LDPE plastics. They are designed to meet the growing demands of consumers and regulators for eco-responsibility.

This innovation provides a powerful solution for reducing CO₂ emissions associated with packaging.

It reduces CO₂ emissions by up to 60–70% compared to traditional mailers made from recycled plastic.

This innovation enables emission savings by utilising renewable inputs, reusing industrial waste, promoting energy-efficient production, and ensuring compatibility with LDPE recycling streams.

Lignin mailer bad is designed with moisture resistance and tear-proof features, which are perfect for online retailers aiming to enhance their customer satisfaction while minimising the environmental impact of packaging.

Modepack’s Lignin Mailing Bags meet the evolving needs of businesses striving for sustainability without compromising performance.

By leveraging Lignin Industries’ innovation, Modepack reaffirms its commitment to advancing sustainable packaging, enabling businesses to meet their climate goals while adopting a more innovative, circular approach to packaging.

This launch is a call to action for brand owners to learn more about partnership opportunities and collaborate in shaping a more circular, responsible future for packaging.
