What do we mean by eco-friendly?
Eco-friendly, also called 'environmentally friendly' or 'green,' describes products, practices, and lifestyles aimed at reducing harm to the environment. This involves methods such as minimizing waste and pollution, conserving natural resources, and supporting sustainable practices to protect our planet.
With our eco-friendly products and responsible practices, we aim to create a balance between economic development and environmental protection. For us, this includes using renewable resources to produce PaperFoam®, recycling practices in our factories and production process, and reducing carbon emissions.
Eco-friendly packaging materials
Our flagship packaging product is a truly unique material crafted from three simple, natural ingredients: starch, fibers, and water. This innovative combination creates a durable material with a paper-like appearance and a foamy texture, which inspired our name, PaperFoam. What sets it apart is its eco-friendly nature—it naturally decomposes, making it compostable at home, and can also be recycled with paper.
Furthermore, PaperFoam consists of renewable resources. That is why it is perfect for packaging all sorts of products that require protection during transportation. One of the things our customers love about PaperFoam®'s eco-friendly packaging is that the material is lightweight and robust. These qualities make PaperFoam a great alternative to traditional packaging materials like plastic and Styrofoam. As a result, PaperFoam not only reduces waste but also helps to lower carbon emissions during transportation.
From low to no-pollution practices
In addition to our eco-friendly packaging solutions, we work with a conservation-minded approach in all aspects of our business operations. For example, we use renewable energy sources, recycle waste, and implement other low-impact and no-pollution practices in our supply chain. Furthermore, with factories in Europe, Asia, and the United States, local production is part of our aim to make our entire supply chain more sustainable. As a result, local production helps us minimize our carbon footprint while also proving to be a time and cost-saving measure.

Eco-Minded Packaging for Half Magic
Makeup containers are rarely recycled. Why? Because there are so many challenges. Compacts and similar containers are often too small for curbside recycling, or they are made from materials unsuitable for recycling. But this can change. Half Magic is determined to transform the makeup industry by reducing beauty waste. To support their mission of promoting circularity in beauty, we partnered with them to create PaperFoam® makeup compacts and other sustainable packaging solutions.
