By GlobalDataMultinational packaging company Amcor invested $3m in PulPac.
Through this investment, Amcor intends to find opportunities for applications of PulPac’s technology in its product ranges.
The investment in PulPac’s fibre technology comes after Amcor launched its AmFiber platform earlier this year.
