Pulpworks

PulpWorks designs and manufactures sustainable packaging for the consumer products industry.

PulpWorks offers compostable products (in industrial compost), molded from 100% post-consumer paper waste and agricultural waste. Their environmentally friendly packaging is created utilizing the same technology that's been used for decades to create egg cartons. They have added a wide variety of colors, textures, and complexity to the original technology. Their engineers and designers create custom packaging for consumer product companies to suit aesthetic needs without sacrificing functionality. 

PulpWorks has an outsourced supply chain comprised of manufacturing, printing, assembly, sales and distribution partners in North America, Europe, Asia and Africa. Their flagship product, the patented Karta-Pack™, is PulpWorks’ environmentally friendly alternative to the toxic, dangerous and ubiquitous plastic blister pack. The Karta-Pack™ comprises of two pieces of compostable and biodegradable material – molded pulp and cardboard – that are connected to create a single package with the saleable article nestled safely in a cavity in the molded pulp component.

The advantages of the Karta-Pack™, compliant with ISO 14000 and European Green Dot standards, versus a blister pack comprised of PVC, the most environmentally harmful plastic on our planet, are myriad.

PulpWorks also offers a broad range of custom-designed protective packaging as well as packaging for consumer goods made from molded paper waste or agricultural waste (bagasse, bamboo, switch grass, wheat straw). They build on the 100-year legacy of molded pulp technology by bringing molded pulp to new products, new categories and new markets.

PulpWorks custom designs molded pulp products in the most efficient and economical manner possible through the disciplines of geometry and architecture. Configurations effectively nest and stack, reducing shipping costs and storage space. And no assembly is required: structures are designed for speed and simplicity - making them ready and easy-to-use in their customers’ facilities.
