HZ Corporation is one of the leading manufacturers of molded pulp products and is based in Perak, Malaysia.
PulPac claims dry molded fiber is a resource-efficient, fiber-forming technology that can replace single-use plastics.
It is faster than traditional fiber molding and matches plastic processing on cost, output, and speed, but with a lower environmental impact.
It markets its technology as an option for producers within the packaging industry to help transition toward circularity with a 'cost-competitive', fiber-based alternative.
HZ Green Pulp aims for a speedy market launch to supply the growing pulp packaging market with Dry Molded Fiber products – starting with convenience products such as lids for hot and cold drinks, food trays, and cutlery.
The company works with various top five global FMCG brands.
Donald Yap, chief executive of HZ Green Pulp, said: "Our mission is to provide quality combined with sustainable and cost-efficient solutions. As a leading packaging producer, we can be a force in minimizing waste and using resources responsibly. Implementing Dry Molded Fiber will drive sustainability within our operations and customer network."
Sanna Fager, PulPac's chief commercial officer, added: "The roll-out of our technology is accelerating, and Dry Molded Fiber is now being implemented at producers worldwide. We are thrilled that a knowledgeable and forward-thinking company like HZ Green Pulp has joined our producer network. We look forward to working with the team to meet the market's and planet's needs for responsibly produced packaging."
Paul Burke, from HZ Green Pulp, added: "There is now a paper pulp tray/lid available that will be the same price as plastic equivalents, which uses little water and heat in production coupled with high speed output.
