Challenges there for molded fiber packages

[News] Molded Fiber Industry Facing Three Core Challenges
[News] Molded Fiber Industry Facing Three Core Challenges

1. Increasing Cost Pressure 

  • Energy consumption of thermoforming process is as twice higher as that of traditional papermaking
  • Price of raw materials fluctuates greatly
  • Investment threshold for automatic production line is high, making it difficult for small and medium-sized enterprises to bear


2. Weakening Policy Dividends

  • implementation of the plastic restriction policy is relaxed
  • degradable plastic (PLA/PBAT) technology becomes matured, with cost reduced, squeezing the market share of molded fiber packages;


3. Degenerating Product Competitiveness

  • Waterproof and oil-proof performance is weaker than that of laminated paper base container
  • some of them contain chemical additives (such as PFAS), causing environmental controversies,
  • industrial composting conditions limit the actual degradation effect.


The molded fiber industry needs to reduce costs and increase efficiency through technological innovation, optimize performance in environmental protection, and strengthen consumer communication to restore market confidence.
