Company Info
Company Description
Plastic is one of the 21st century’s most widely used materials. However, our inability to treat it properly once we are done with it,is causing a global environmental disaster. W-Cycle develops and sells compostable packaging solutions for the food industry. Targeting the $2BN rigid packaging market for the ready meals industry, W-Cycle is focused on packaging solutions for retail, in-flight catering & institutional verticals. To date, this industry uses a special plastic (CPET) that can handle cooked food at both low and high temperatures. The Ultimate Plastic Replacement Developed by W-Cycle, Suprapulp is a patented, field-tested, liquid-proof replacement for plastic (CPET) that is made from 100% natural materials. Unlike other solutions, Suprapulp is the first-ever commercially competitive, non-coated, cellulose-based packaging solution. SupraPulp can handle food at temperatures varying from -40⁰c to 270⁰c.
