Degrading cellulose films in 12 days: Dr. Dirk Hollmann, Cell2Green | interpack 2026

Completely decomposed in just 12 days: Dr. Dirk Hollmann (Cell2Green) presented transparent cellulose films at interpack 2026 that could replace PE. The chemist explains his non-toxic manufacturing process and why he is targeting international markets.

Dr Dirk Hollmann from Cell2Green presents a revolutionary alternative to PE films: transparent cellulose packaging that is completely biodegradable in just 12 days. The chemist from the University of Rostock explains how his team has developed a non-toxic manufacturing process that does not require the use of toxic chemicals. He sees enormous potential for his sustainable films, particularly in the transport and agricultural sectors. Hollmann criticises the PPWR Regulation for being too narrowly focused on plastic recycling and calls for the integration of natural polymers. The start-up is seeking international partners to set up production facilities in Asia. #interpack #Sustainability #Packaging #Cellulose #Biodegradable #Films #Recycling #PPWR #Start-up #Innovation #Cellulose #Transport #Agriculture
