HZ Green Pulp, a manufacturer of moulded pulp products, has begun full-scale commercial production of dry-moulded fibre coffee lids at its Malaysian facility.
This move makes the company the first PulPac licensee in Asia to supply the market with this fibre-based alternative to plastic.

The company, which already operates in wet-moulded fibre, commissioned its first PulPac Modula machine in early 2025.
PulPac chief commercial officer Sanna Fager stated: “Licensees moving from installation to commercial deliveries is a defining milestone.
“Our licensing model provides a direct path to market, protected IP [intellectual property], standardised tooling and materials, and a partner network that has already solved the hard problems. It embeds world-leading know-how to shorten validation and de-risk scale-up, a proven route to commercial production, faster to shelves with experienced support from day one and beyond launch.”
With production now running at scale, HZ Green Pulp is prepared to supply dry- moulded fibre products to domestic markets and multinational brands.
Coffee lids are the initial product to roll out, with the company looking to add more food-service applications made from dry-moulded fibre.
This fibre-forming technology has been invented, patented and licensed by PulPac for high-speed production of rigid packaging.
The process utilises minimal water and substantially less energy than conventional fibre-moulding, delivering a “cost-competitive, resource-efficient” substitute for single-use plastics.
HZ Green Pulp CEO Donald Yap noted: “Our wet-moulding operations continue to serve customers well, but dry-moulded fibre allows us to introduce a new generation of products that respond to evolving market demands while reducing environmental impact.”
