About products and suppliers

The best-known example of fiber-form packaging is the commercially available egg cartons. Because of excellent shock and vibration damping properties, the packaging has also found its way into other branches. The egg packaging is designed for safe transportation and storage of eggs from one place to another. It includes filler trays, egg cartons, and egg baskets made using clean and unscented rice husks, straw, or wheat chaff. It keeps the quality of eggs by taking stress and shock while transportation and makes it easier to preserve eggs from moisture, bacteria, tainting, and natural predators.

Paper pulp egg cartons

Pulp egg cartons are made from a mixture of water, paper, and grass fibers. This material has been around since the 1980s. Making a pulp carton is almost identical to creating a paper-mache craft. Huge tanks combine water and paper into a thick slurry. It gets pressed into molds where the containers are formed and allowed to dry. Recycling these cartons is easy as it's just paper. This means that customers can throw them in their recycling bins, put them into their compost piles, or cut them up and use them for seed starters by filling them with soil.
