How Molded Pulp Packaging Drives Eco Packaging Change
Choosing materials that protect goods while minimizing environmental impact is increasingly vital. Molded pulp packaging, made from recycled fibers like paperboard and newsprint, offers a biodegradable, recyclable alternative to plastics. Its rigid yet lightweight structure makes it suitable for trays, clamshells, and protective inserts across sectors.
According to Marketintelo, “The global molded pulp packaging size was valued at approximately USD 4.36 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 6.2 billion by 2032, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.5 % during the forecast period 2025–2032.”

Manufacturers favor molded pulp because it strikes a balance between durability and sustainability. Compared to materials like EPS or PVC, molded pulp reduces waste and can be recycled again post-use. Its affordability and ease of forming into protective shapes make it a practical choice for food service, electronics packaging, and industrial goods.
