Paper that can be pressed into packaging containers

After repeated trials, Nippon Paper Industries successfully used wood and pulp as raw materials and did not add any synthetic resin to develop a paper that could be directly pressed into packaging containers.

This new paper is 5-10 times more stretchable than normal paper. If a special metal mold is used, it can be directly pressed into various shapes of paper packaging containers. The paper packaging container has the same strength as a plastic packaging container and can be used to package daily necessities and foods. Its production cost is rather low, and it can also be recycled and used without harm to the environment.

Japanese environmental experts said that in Japan, plastics needed for the production of food packaging containers in recent years exceed 100 million tons, up to 2 million tons. Now, with this new type of paper, replacing its plastic packaging containers with its pressed paper packaging containers is expected to open up a huge market.
