Case:
Plastic-free coffee lids by PulPac

PulPac’s technology for dry-molded fibers, using nonwovens in combination with OrganoClick’s biobased binders as starting material, sets a new standard for high-performing and sustainable packaging. It requires less energy and water, resulting in a reduced carbon footprint with up to 80% compared to traditional alternatives.

One of the first products out is a plastic-free coffee lid which aligns with the recent EU legislation for take away product. Annual global consumption of coffee lids is estimated at 100,000,000,000 and with the new coffee lid, the CO2 footprint is reduced by up to 80%.

”The coffee lid is just one example from the range of standardized Dry Molded Fiber applications available that align with the recent EU legislations for take away. This easily implementable and scalable on-the-go alternative fits seamlessly into a modern lifestyle.”
Viktor Börjesson, Chief Operating Officer at PulPac.

The coffee lid is made green inside with the support of OrganoClick’s biobased, biodegradable and home compostable binder, in part manufactured from waste streams from the food industry. The use of OrganoClick’s binder results in a paper lid with much higher performance. The goal is also to replace as much as possible of traditional plastic lids available on the market, thereby reducing the risk for microplastics ending up in the environment. The coffe lid was launched in a limited edition in 2024 and is currently being scaled up.
