Molded pulp is already made with postconsumer paper, offering manufacturers a more recyclable and responsible solution than plastic. And after use, molded pulp can be recycled again. In fact, two-thirds of packaging material recovered for recycling is paper — more than the total of glass, metal, and plastic combined.
In one commonly referenced comparison, a stack of 40 molded pulp end caps had a 70% space savings to the same number of EPS (Styrofoam) end caps. The exact space savings will vary for different products, but the fact remains that molded pulp is less expensive and much more efficient to store and transport than EPS.
