Wood foams by Stora Enso

Fibrease® by Stora Enso is a lightweight fiber-based foam material that is made from at least 80% renewable materials and is recyclable (according to PTS assessment RH 021:2012). It is soft with a memory foam like behavior and has a great damping capacity, as well as thermal insulation properties.

Fibrease® is designed to replace PU-foams and EPS, as well as formed in-place fossil-based solutions. Fibrease® fits various types of converting methods like sawing and die-cutting.

Benefits

• Memory foam like behavior allows for optimised cushioning, packaging size, and transportation optimisation
• High insulating capacity, suitable for thermal packaging in online meal kits, online grocery sales and medicine shipments
• Suitable for circular business models, optimal for recycling in closed loops to new material and products

Papira® by Stora Enso is a novel lightweight foam made from pulp fibers. The sustainable foam is designed to be bio-based, recyclable in all paper streams and biodegradable. The semi-rigid fiber-based material has a high cushioning performance suitable for primary and secondary protective packaging. Papira® can be designed and cut with precision for optimal size and protection.

Papira® offers a fully paper recyclable alternative to traditional fossil-based packaging foams, such as PE/PU-foams and EPS. Papira® fits various types of converting methods.

Benefits

• Can be designed for complex shapes and thus allows optimised cushioning and packaging size
• Makes recycling easy as it allows the consumer to put the whole package in the same curbside collection bin
• Designed to be recycled as paper, but if exiting the circular material stream it will biodegrade
