Pulp Mold 2.0

Features of Pulp Mold

Molded pulp is molded paper product made by immersing mold in a pulp suspension obtained by mixing recycled paper containing plant fibers with water, absorbing the pulp suspension through many small holes on the surface of the mold and adhering it evenly with a mesh mold, then it is dried after it is peeled off.　Since water and recycled paper (plant fibers) are the main materials, there are no harmful substances. The used water is then purified and returned to nature. It is a renewable biomass resource that can re-circulate until it is finally returned to nature. Instead of throwing away paper such as newspapers and cardboards, they are collected by local residents and transform them into new products for the present and future. This eco-friendly cycle is characterized by repeated and never-ending efforts.
