How Molded Fiber Pulp is Made

To produce MFP, recycled paper waste such as newsprint and cardboard is broken down, blended with water, and de-inked to create a pulp slurry. This slurry is then deposited into molds and subjected to high pressure, which forces the fibers to interlock and adhere to the mold shape. Once fully dried, a rigid yet lightweight molded packaging form remains. No adhesives are needed as the fibers themselves bind the material together. Colorants and other additives can also be incorporated into the pulp mixture for aesthetic or performance purposes.

Key Benefits of Molded Fiber Pulp

Sustainability
As Molded Fiber Pulp Packaging is made entirely from recycled paper waste, it offers a sustainable alternative to packaging materials that rely on virgin plant-based, plastic, or styrofoam resources. Products shipped using MFP leave a lower carbon footprint.

Renewability
Being plant-based, MFP comes from a renewable resource and can also be recycled or composted at the end of its use—unlike plastic which pollution our environment.

Durability
Through the high-pressure molding process, MFP achieves a rigid yet crush-resistant structure well-suited for protective packaging applications. Its interlocked fibers make it durable enough to withstand distribution cycles.
