Top Trends Fueling Molded Fiber Pulp Packaging Sales across the USA and Canada

Rapid Shift toward Eco-friendly Packaging to Spur Demand for Custom Molded Fiber Packaging

Molded pulp, renowned for its sustainability, is expected to experience remarkable growth, especially in the realm of secure packaging. In the past, expanded polystyrene packaging was the go-to choice for safeguarding various products against external shocks and damage. However, in response to environmental concerns, many countries, including the USA, have taken measures to prohibit the use of single-use plastic materials in various applications, notably take-out containers for food and across multiple industries.

The burgeoning shift towards eco-friendly packaging, with molded fiber pulp packaging offering similar protective qualities as expanded polystyrene, is poised to drive sales. One crucial distinction is that while expanded polystyrene is challenging to recycle, molded fiber pulp is derived from recycled paper, making it an environmentally responsible and sustainable option. The durability and shock-absorbing properties of molded pulp materials are instrumental, particularly during the transportation or handling of valuable products such as electronic gadgets, wine bottles, and mobile phones.

As a result, the demand for protective packaging, exemplified by molded fiber pulp packaging, is on the rise in the USA and Canada. This is driven by the imperative to shield valuable items from the rigors of vibration and shock during transit, aligning with the evolving landscape of sustainable and secure packaging solutions.
