PulPac's IP portfolio for dry moulded fibre continues to grow. The company has filed eight new patent applications in the last six months and covers important global markets with its portfolio. The dry moulded fibre method is a process used to produce three-dimensionally moulded cellulose articles.
The IP portfolio of PulPac now covers with 84 national grants and hundreds of pending applications important global markets. The US Patent and Trademark Office recently issued a notice of allowance for one of the company's first patent applications (US16/085456). It relates to dry moulded fibre technology and is particularly suitable for blow moulding and the production of bottles.
The business model is based on collaboration within an IP and technology pool with partner companies that share the company's holistic view of sustainability and efficient resource utilisation.
„Our public intellectual property is just the tip of the iceberg. Behind it is an extensive portfolio of confidential patent applications, world-leading expertise and trade secrets that are only shared with partners within our pool. This model gives our partners an unrivalled competitive advantage and an incentive to switch to fibres - and away from plastics.“

Based on the core IP, a complete Technology platform developed to cover areas of fibre application manufacturing and machine solutions. Blow-moulded fibres are one of the upcoming competitive applications for dry-moulded fibres, which are suitable for the production of bottles and closures, for example.
