There is now a cost-effective and environmentally sensitive alternative to petroleum-based plastics. Moulded Board™ is a revolutionary new packaging medium that delivers technically superior performance at a lower cost than current industry leaders. Some of the industries able to take advantage of the benefits of Moulded Board are Protective Packaging, Foodservice, Home Meal Replacement and Healthcare.

Moulded Board is recyclable and compostable. It has a smooth printable surface, is moisture resistant, freezer-, microwave- and oven-safe. The raw materials used are natural and renewable cellulose fibres instead of non-renewable oil resources.

Moulded Board products are thinner and offer a superior, smooth exterior surface, significantly improving logo and advertising print quality. The technology makes it possible to form products with complicated shapes, from compartmental plates, clamshells and trays for the food industry to protective packaging for the electronics and pharmaceutical industries, with no risk of cracking or deformation. The high density of the fibre network, added to the natural advantages of fibres, results in a product that is smooth, rigid and resistant to moisture and grease. Products can be manufactured using a wide variety of virgin and recycled natural fibres.
