Macpac offers Sulapac thermoformable wood-polymer composite

Developed by Helsinki-based Sulapac, the award-winning, food-safe (EU and FDA US) material is produced from biodegradeable biopolymers and wood dust, and can be shaped as easily as traditional plastics – making it ideal for bespoke luxury packaging solutions. 

Sulapac’s innovative wood-polymer blend offers a range of significant practical advantages to paper and card alternatives. It maintains its shape, can be clicked in-out, does not collapse in water and can be thermoformed exactly to suit individual product requirements.

Offering the eco benefits and low carbon footprint of fibre products, the wood dust used to produce Sulapac Flow is a by-product sourced from the North European sawmill industry eliminating the need to cut down trees. 

Crucially, it is biobased, industrially compostable, recyclable by design, and with no permanent microplastics, PFAS or other toxic chemicals.

Sulapac Flow is used in different types of packaging inserts, typically replacing PS, PP or PET. Like conventional plastics, Sulapac Flow has a ‘memory’: the product can be clicked in and out repeatedly, without the packaging losing its shape.
