Paulig takes part in the development of new bio-based packaging material to replace fossil plastic
Paulig is participating in a research project in which renewable and recyclable material is being developed for the food industry to replace fossil plastic. The project, which has now progressed to the industrial testing phase, is led by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, which has developed Thermocell plastic film using cellulose and fatty acids. This development work supports Paulig’s objective of switching to using only recyclable packages that are made from renewable or recycled materials by 2030. VTT has discovered that cellulose can be used as a bio-based
