PulPac has already secured over 500 national patents worldwide for its Dry Moulded Fibre technology. This development marks a significant step in establishing Dry Moulded Fibre as an industrial method.
PulPac has continuously expanded its patent portfolio in recent years. It covers areas such as fibre preparation, airlaying, forming and pressing methods, as well as tool configurations and integrated functional features. This breadth of patents underscores PulPac's role in the field of industrial dry moulding of fibres. Viktor Wingård Börjesson, Chief Operating Officer at PulPac, emphasises that the technology is now recognised as an independent industrial category and the market is moving from curiosity to serious commitment.
The continuous refinement of processes and the investment of almost 800,000 hours in research and development have helped to reduce uncertainty in industrial implementation and lower the barriers to scaling up. PulPac's network of leading machine builders supports this industrialisation process and promotes implementation across various markets.
Market potential and regulatory support
Another indicator of the growing importance of dry moulded fibre is the commitment of globally established machinery manufacturers. At the same time, regulatory developments such as the EU Packaging Regulation are accelerating demand for scalable, fibre-based alternatives. These developments enable the technology to be implemented alongside traditional plastic conversion and wet fibre moulding, thereby reducing the cost of entry.
