One of the major reasons for the company’s growth, according to Pulpac, is its focus on sustainable manufacturing practices and the use of raw materials, which will now be complemented with PulPac’s Dry Moulded Fibre technology license.

PulPac describes its fibre as a resource- and cost-efficient fibre-forming technology that can be used by its packaging industry partners, via licensing process, to replace single-use plastic at scale.

PulPac CCO Sanna Fager said: “Matrix Pack has the ambition, drive, and willingness to be a trailblazer for sustainable packaging in Europe and North America – they are a true changemaker in the packaging world.

“We have seen Matrix Pack make impressive progress over the years, and we look forward to joining forces to further accelerate Dry Moulded Fiber production.”

Last month, PulPac signed a non-exclusive partnership deal with US-based thermoforming company Tek Pak.
