PAPACKS, an award-winning Germany based manufacturer of sustainable, molded-fiber packaging solutions, will introduce its Fiber-Bottle to the North American marketplace at Pack Expo Las Vegas (September 29-October 1).
At Booth #N-5172, the company will showcase its new plastic-free, fully recyclable packaging solution, suitable for replacing traditional plastic containers in a wide range of product applications.
Unlike hybrid fibre-plastic solutions, Fiber-Bottle does not require plastic linings, caps or closures, making it recyclable in common paper waste streams.
The result is a full-lifespan CO₂ reduction of up to 90% compared with conventional PET or HDPE bottles.
Moulded as one piece, PAPACKS’ new Fiber-Bottle is composed entirely from cellulose fibres – including an integrated screw-thread closure that eliminates the need for a plastic cap.
To ensure product protection, Fiber-Bottle can be coated with the company’s plant-based barrier technology, which provides ample oxygen and water vapour resistance (OTR/WVTR) without sacrificing the bottle’s recyclability profile.
PAPACKS developed Fiber-Bottle to meet a trifecta of packaging sector priorities: impactful sustainability, exemplary performance, and simplified scalability.
Per the former, Fiber-Bottle’s lightweight yet structurally sound design requires no supplementary plastic linings – a departure from most fibre-based containers.
Concerning performance, Fiber-Bottle is a practical, highly functional replacement option for plastic bottles across a broad array of applications, including pharmaceuticals (nutritional and over-the-counter products), health/personal care products (powders, tablets, and beauty aids), dry goods, and non-carbonated beverages.
In all cases, it provides robust hygiene, durability and branding flexibility.
Finally, Fiber-Bottle is readily adaptable to real-world, high-volume manufacturing requirements.
Compared with the scalability concerns facing many sustainable packaging solutions, Fiber-Bottle’s single-piece moulding technology ensures mass production feasibility without disrupting existing industrial systems.
“The Fiber-Bottle represents a significant advancement in sustainable packaging, delivering measurable environmental benefits across multiple impact areas,” said Guido Schmitz, President PAPACKS AMERICA.
“By eliminating plastic, integrating into circular recycling systems, and reducing CO₂ emissions, it provides a holistic solution aligned with global sustainability goals.”
