[News] The Green Revolution in Healthcare: Molded Fiber Pioneering a Sustainable Growth Pathway


Release time:

Apr 22,2025

Molded fiber gains healthcare traction with eco-benefits, cost savings, and 25% global capacity share projected by 2027.

Molded fiber products have penetrated into all medical scenarios, including disposable paper urinals, bedpans, hand guard, and medical equipment packaging.Three key advancements demonstrate molded fiber’s transformative potential:

Enhanced Safety: Sterilizable materials and rapid biodegradability meet stringent medical hygiene standards.

Cost Efficiency: Industrial-scale production reduces unit costs to parity with plastics, lowering hospital procurement expenses by 15%–20%.

Circular Lifecycle: Achieves a 60% carbon footprint reduction from raw material (bagasse/bamboo fiber) to end-of-life disposal.

With an aging population and surging demand for disposable medical supplies, it is expected that by 2027, healthcare will account for 25% of global molded fiber production capacity, becoming the second largest application market after food packaging.
