Produced using natural wood fibres sourced from sustainably managed forests, Stora Enso manufactures the PureFiber products at its Hylte Mill in Sweden.

The company sells the products directly to brand owners and wholesalers.

Stora Enso plans to expand the PureFiber product range to other food and consumer goods applications.

Tingstad purchasing manager Johan Larsson said: “We strongly believe that PureFiber will play an important role in the market conversion from plastic to non-plastic food packaging.

“We are excited to bring a truly sustainable solution to the market together with Stora Enso.”

In January this year, Stora Enso and Finnish dairy product manufacturer Valio revealed plans to introduce wood fibre-based reusable lids made from a biocomposite.
