Inlay Packaging Made from Paper Pulp – For any Application

A Sustainable Alternative to Plastic Injection Molding

Paper pulp injection molding is a packaging technology that incorporates renewable raw materials into existing injection molding processes. Instead of plastic, cellulose fibers and starch are used – resulting in dimensionally stable, recyclable packaging with a significantly reduced carbon footprint.

What Is Paper Pulp Injection Molding?

In this process, a special granulate made from cellulose fibers and plant-based starch is processed in a paper injection molding machine.

Through controlled heat application, the component is “baked” and hardened. The result is a stable, biodegradable paper inlay – completely plastic-free. Controlled fiber orientation allows for targeted adjustment of both mechanical strength and surface texture. This enables both intricate and robust solutions for any industry.
