10 Reasons to Choose Moulded Fibre
1. Recyclable
Moulded fibre is 100% recyclable. Unfortunately, less than 15% of polystyrene foam and plastic is recycled, often leading to lower-quality plastic with limited usability.
2. Renewable Beginning
Our value chain has it's starting point in renewable resources, and moulded fibre helps to protect limited resources. Plastic is derived from non-renewable sources.
3. Almost Carbon Neutral Fibre
The raw material of moulded fibre packaging is considered almost carbon neutral. Plastic has a significant carbon footprint. The raw material of recycled paper is considered carbon neutral according to the allocation-based method provided by the GHGP and results in a CO2e emission factor close to zero.
4. Biodegradable
Moulded fibre egg packaging is compostable in industrial processes and certified according to European Standard EN 13432. Moulded fibre packaging undergoes a degradation process by the action of naturally occurring microorganisms. Along with all plant-based materials, they slowly break down into organic components until they can be consumed on a microscopic level. It takes a long time for plastic to disintegrate. Otherwise, it is incinerated along with other non-recyclable waste.
5. Less Waste
Recycling saves precious resources and waste disposal. The world has limited resources, and this is our way to help to protect the globe.
6. Protective Packaging
Unlike plastics, moulded fibre cushions protect and absorb shocks due to their ability to compress. Having well-protected eggs in moulded fibre cartons means fewer eggs are damaged in transportation and distribution. Less damage means also less food waste.
7. Absorbs Moisture
Prevents condensation and mould on eggshells. Plastic and polystyrene are non-absorbent.
8. Saleability
Various carton shapes and colours with high-quality print and graphics attract consumers. Plastic does not allow high-quality direct printing.
9. A more sustainable choice
Compared to plastic and polystyrene, we consider moulded fibre as the more sustainable choice. It is made from recycled materials and can be reintroduced into the circular loop through recycling or composting.
10. Consumer Preference
Ongoing surveys show moulded fibre egg packaging is the clear favourite compared to other materials.
