Molded Pulp

Moulded pulp, also names Molded plup or Moulded Fibre, is a packaging material, typically made from 100% recycled corrugated fibreboard and newspaper. It is used for protective packaging or for food service trays and beverage carriers. Other typical uses are end caps, trays and clamshell containers.

For many applications, Molded pulp is less expensive than expanded polystyrene (EPS), vacuumed formed PET and PVC, corrugation and forms. Molded pulp us often considered a sustainable packaging material, as defined by the Sustainable Packaging Coalition, since it is produced for recycled materials, and can be recycled again after its useful life-cycle.
