Metsä Group and Amcor partner to develop moulded fibre-based food packaging solutions

Forestry industry company Metsä Group and Amcor, a global leader in developing and producing responsible packaging solutions, have announced a collaboration to develop three-dimensional moulded fibre packaging solutions with lidding and liner for a variety of food applications. The collaboration underscores Metsä Group and Amcor’s commitment to sustainability and innovation by creating recycle-ready packaging solutions.

Combining Metsä Group’s wood-based moulded fibre product, Muoto,™ developed by Metsä Spring, with Amcor’s advanced high-barrier film liner and lidding technology, the partnership seeks to deliver innovative fibre-based food packaging that protects perishable food products and extends shelf life.

Made from renewable wood pulp, Muoto is fully recyclable and biodegradable . It can be used in various applications, from takeaway to industrial packing. By integrating Amcor’s laminated film, Muoto gains enhanced functionality, including high-performance sealability.
