HZ Green Pulp, part of Malaysia-based HZ Corporation<\/a>, has invested in Dry Molded Fiber technology to produce fiber-based alternatives for the foodservice packaging market. Through HZP Eco Packaging, a newly announced joint venture between HZ Corporation and Hotpack Global, the company is now adding further commercial reach to its Dry Molded Fiber offering.<\/p>\n Hotpack Global is one of the largest food packaging companies in the Middle East, with a portfolio of more than 4,000 products and exports to over 100 countries. The partnership combines HZ Corporation\u2019s manufacturing base in Malaysia with Hotpack\u2019s scale, distribution network and established presence in foodservice packaging.<\/p>\n For HZ Green Pulp, the collaboration creates an opportunity to position its first Dry Molded Fiber application, the coffee lid, alongside complementary foodservice products such as paper cups. Over time, the partnership may also create opportunities for additional product combinations as HZ Green Pulp continues to develop its Dry Molded Fiber offering.<\/p>\n \u201cDry Molded Fiber <\/a>is an important part of our long-term foodservice packaging strategy,\u201d says Dato’ Dr. Donald Yap, CEO of HZ Green Pulp. \u201cWith Hotpack\u2019s portfolio and customer network, we see an opportunity to make our first Dry Molded Fiber application, the coffee lid, part of a broader and more practical offer for customers. It strengthens our ability to serve the market with fiber-based solutions that are easy to adopt, while opening the door for more Dry Molded Fiber applications over time.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThis is an important next step for HZ Green Pulp and a strong signal of their belief in Dry Molded Fiber,\u201d says Sanna Fager, Chief Commercial Officer at PulPac. \u201cBy pairing Dry Molded Fiber applications with complementary foodservice packaging, HZ can make it easier for customers to move toward fiber-based solutions. It also shows how our licensees are increasingly taking the lead in bringing the technology to market.\u201d<\/p>\n
