Companies are always looking for new ways to showcase the possibilities of packaging materials. Mondi has now used corrugated board to master a sporting challenge. The company built the first skateboard half-pipe from corrugated board.
The challenge was to build the very first skateboard halfpipe out of corrugated cardboard, the paper used in corrugated cardboard packaging. Julia Brückler's passion for skateboarding is in line with Mondis commitment to excellence, and like the resilience of sport, this project reflects the meticulous processes to perfect the paper grades echoed.
„This was such a unique experience! I realised that we often take the paper items we use in everyday life for granted and don't think about where they come from or how they are made. Discovering the details of paper packaging and learning how durable and strong the material can be was a real eye-opener!“

Mondi focuses on circular solutions created by people who are committed to climate protection. The company offers an environment where creativity and purpose come together and has several world-leading corrugated factories with expert teams producing our corrugated product range. This corrugated paper is used to produce corrugated solutions with nature-like strength and resilience.
„This initiative is about inspiring people to see the value of our corrugated grades from a new perspective. Working with Olympian Julia Brückler has been a great experience and epitomises our commitment to innovation, excellence and taking on new challenges! Get in touch with us if you are looking for sustainable packaging solutions or a career full of potential.“
