In a world-first, Papyrus Australia has managed to develop a 100 per cent banana fibre clamshell molded product. The firm produced it in its leased moulded fibre packaging facility in Sharqiah, Egypt. Papyrus can now output 6300 clamshell food packages per hour from the packaging facility.
It is also able to supply surplus outputs under an “off-take” agreement to the Hailm family operation AI Ahram to replace plastic food packaging. This outcome represents a “significant IP gain” in the preparation of banana fibre. Gains include the design moulds themselves, and the construction of moulding lines to successfully mould its banana fibre products.
