Stora Enso and Sulapac have signed a joint development agreement to combat the global problem of plastic waste by accelerating the use of fully renewable, recyclable and biodegradable materials in packaging.
Mika Ihamuotila and Planvest Oy have invested in the company in order to accelerate its internationalisation and R&D, which aims at replacing plastic with fully biodegradable material.
Sulapac’s fully biodegradable packaging has been selected by Finnish cosmetics company Naviter for its new Atopik range of natural cosmetic products. Atopik All Over Balm will be the first cosmetic product to use Sulapac as its primary packaging. Naviter CEO Anni Linnavirta: “Thanks to Sulapac’s innovative and sustainable packaging, our packaging and content can now speak the same language.”
Sulapac, creator of ecological packaging materials for cosmetics and luxury products, is to begin collaborating with Finnish jewellery company Kultakeskus. Sulapac has designed fully biodegradable jewellery cases that will be used to showcase selected designs from the prestigious Kohinoor range of diamond jewellery. The new jewellery cases will be introduced at PCD Paris between 31.1.-1.2.2018.
