Fibre-based trays can replace plastic products in many applications. Faller Packaging and Harvest Packaging are demonstrating this with their moulded fibre trays for the pharmaceutical and MedTech industries. <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The joint approach is deliberately application-oriented. The partners contribute their respective strengths and continuously develop the product. Harvest contributes technological expertise in the manufacture of moulded fibre, while Faller Packaging has the know-how for pharmaceutical packaging.<\/p>\r\n

The trays are made from responsibly managed sources, are PFAS-free, and fully recyclable. The use of mono-materials further improves sortability in the recycling process. Production is carried out using the wet-moulded fibre process. Fibres are processed in shaped moulds and compacted under pressure and temperature. In-mould curing ensures dimensional stability and a smooth surface. This gives the trays a performance comparable to plastic solutions. They are suitable for healthcare applications, such as auto-injectors, pens, or diagnostic solutions.<\/p>

\u201eOur aim was to overcome the typical limitations of classic moulded fibre,\u201c explains Neil Reilly, founder of Harvest Packaging. \u201eThe trays offer the precision, stability and surface quality required for pharmaceutical applications \u2013 even with complex geometries.\u201c<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In addition to their eco-friendliness, Faller Packaging's moulded fibre trays also offer practical advantages. They are robust and reliably protect the contents. Furthermore, they are versatile and can be produced in various sizes and shapes to meet individual customer requirements. This versatility makes them an attractive option for companies looking for sustainable packaging solutions.<\/p>
