Global technology company Nissha<\/a> has invested in Blue Ocean Closures, a Swedish startup specialising in fibre-based packaging closures, becoming a co-owner of the company in the process.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This strategic partnership positions Blue Ocean Closures for a \u2018substantial\u2019 scale-up to meet growing market demand.<\/p>\n

Blue Ocean Closures CEO Lars Sandberg said: \u201cWe are extremely happy to have Nissha join our partnership of leading industrial owners and further advance the development of our business, technology and product portfolio.<\/p>\n

Blue Ocean Closures is said to be on a mission to combat plastic pollution and its affiliated climate impact.<\/p>\n

The company has developed unique vacuum press forming technology to produce fibre-based closures that are as fully recyclable as paper.<\/p>\n

These products offer global brands an opportunity to reduce their carbon footprint by replacing traditional plastic closures with more sustainable alternatives.<\/p>\n
