CelluComp and RyPax, two companies from the fibre packaging industry, have developed a bottle solution that consists entirely of fibres and does not use plastic. The inner coating is biodegradable and renewable.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

After years of perfecting its own microfibrillated cellulose product, Curran , made from the waste stream of root vegetables, Scotland-based CelluComp and Asia-based RyPax, which makes moulded fibre packaging, are driving the industry forward by developing the Combining the production of plant-based packaging with a highly renewable raw material<\/strong>\u00a0- for a bottle consisting only of fibres.<\/p>

The important step was the development of a innovative cellulose fibre made from a blend of curran, bamboo and bagasse<\/strong>. This material is strong and has minimal porosity. It allows a thin, impermeable coating to be applied to the inside of the bottle, which makes it
manufacturer makes it possible to dispense with a plastic lining.<\/p>

\u201eIntegrating the proven technology, materials and manufacturing experience of RyPax and CelluComp to produce the industry's first full-fibre bottle at scale is a significant development for the industry. Our unique capabilities and entrepreneurial approach, including the formation of a Minnesota-based non-profit corporation to better serve U.S. operations, have finally produced a design that most packaged goods companies and their consumers have been eagerly awaiting.\u201c<\/p>

Christian Kemp-Griffin<\/strong>, CEO of CelluComp<\/p><\/blockquote>

\u201eBy combining our global expertise in the design and production of fibre packaging with CelluComp's creative solution, we are on the verge of a real Breakthrough in barrier packaging<\/strong>\u201e said Alvin Lim, CEO of RyPax. \u201eThis initiative will remove millions of tonnes of plastic waste from the environment.\u201c RyPax and CelluComp have been working for more than three years on a commercial full-fibre bottle format<\/strong> and have recently received validation from the Danish Technological Institute (DTI), which has been an important partner in the creation of viable proofs of concept.<\/p>

\u201eThe industry has been waiting for this collaboration and design for a long time and we are delighted that a solution is now available. The RyPax\/CelluComp bottle has gone through all of our extensive testing to gain our approval and allows them to adapt this technology for the global market.\u201c<\/p>

Alexander Bardenstein<\/strong>, Business Development Manager at DTI<\/p><\/blockquote>

The solution is currently designed for water and powder substances, but the partnership is intended to Scale production for industrial applications in beverage, beauty, health, medical, food and other retail brands<\/strong>, to help manufacturers deliver a more sustainable product to reduce waste and meet consumer, government and their own sustainability goals. In the future, RyPax and CelluComp will work closely with DTI explore further fibre packaging solutions, including fibre screw threads, closures, even thinner coatings<\/strong> and a more complex type of branding on bottles for their customers.<\/p>
