According to an article on Environmentalleader.com, Bosch Packaging Technology presented a new paper pod concept called Pearl at the Pack Expo in Las Vegas. The food-safe packaging uses a 3D-formable material developed by the Swedish company BillerudKorsnäs.
The two companies created Pearl by processing BillerudKorsnäs’ FibreForm material on Bosch machinery. Hein van den Reek, business director, solutions at BillerudKorsnäs said this week that his company initially came up with FibreForm to challenge conventional packaging and reduce unnecessary plastic.
