The USA-based manufacturing venture SustainaPac LLC has joined PulPac's licencee network. The company aims to strengthen the shift from single-use plastics to more sustainable alternatives and wants to build Dry Molded Fibre production facilities across the country.

Employing the Dry Molded Fiber technology, SustainaPac intends to establish itself as a source of highly economical natural fibre, single-use food service packaging products for the growing North American QSR sustainability market. As the packaging industry works to balance environmental concerns with business performance, product sustainability is key. The Dry Molded Fiber technology enables the replacement of multiple single-use plastic products with sustainable fibre-based alternatives at commercial scale - setting a new standard for sustainable packaging. The highly economical dry fibre forming technology allows for fibre products produced in North America to be reasonably competitive on a cost basis with like plastic products.

“North American QSR's are clamoring for economical, domestically produced, compostable fibre products to replace their single-use plastic packaging where appropriate, and SustainaPac with PulPac fibre forming technology will be out front meeting that demand.”

Les Schaevitz, SustainaPac CEO 

SustainaPac intends to build a series of Dry Molded Fibre production facilities across the USA making fibre drink cup lids, hinged containers, bowls, trays, and related products beginning with a dedicated high volume fibre hot and cold drink cup lid plant in Jacksonville, Florida. 

“Time is increasingly becoming the most important factor in dealing with environmental challenges. Now is the time for action. Together with converters like SustainaPac stepping up to the plate, we can accelerate the shift towards sustainable fibre-based packaging and away from single-use plastics. Next generations deserve new generations of packaging where sustainability is just a given.”
