Why Pulp Molding Products Are Gaining Global Popularity

100% biodegradable and environmentally friendly

Pulp molding products are produced from recycled paper such as waste cartons, old books, and newspaper. The products are fully recyclable, biodegradable, and compliant with plastic-reduction policies in many countries.

Low production cost and wide applicability

Compared with plastic packaging, molded pulp is cost-effective and easily customizable to meet various packaging requirements. Common applications include:

  • Egg trays.
  • Egg cartons.
  • Fruit and vegetable trays.
  • Industrial inner packaging.
  • Cup carriers and food packaging trays.

These advantages make pulp molding products suitable for both small businesses and large-scale manufacturers.
