Stora Enso is extending its packaging offering with a new portfolio of bio-based foams from wood. The products are fully recyclable and can be used for protective and thermal packaging. Lightweight wood foams address the need for climate-friendly, renewable, and circular cushioning materials in inner packaging.
Stora Enso’s offering consists of fibrease and papira. Both foams come with versatile technical and sustainability properties, and customers can select a suitable foam based on their specific packaging requirements. The foams can protect fragile goods and are optimal for the thermal packaging of temperature-sensitive products. fibrease is commercially available now, while the pilot plant for producing papira has started operations at the Fors site in Sweden, following the investment announced in August 2020.
Stora Enso supports renewable and climate-friendly packaging solutions
Fossil-based packaging is a major contributor to pollution, accounting for 40% of the world’s plastics. Today fossil-based materials, such as plastic wrap or polystyrene foams, are widely used as cushioning and insulating materials in packaging. With fibrease and Papira, Stora Enso now introduces renewable and climate-friendly alternatives to fossil-based packaging protection. The bio-based foams come from certified wood and are recyclable in paper recycling streams.
“Consumers of today are pushing to minimize the use of plastic and maximize recyclability. At the same time, the need for packaging protection is increasing due to growing demands in eCommerce and cold-chain logistics. With our bio-based foams, we help customers create eco-friendly and circular packaging solutions while also meeting material performance needs to protect and insulate the goods,” says Markus Mannström, employee value proposition, biomaterials at Stora Enso.
