Biodegradable packaging for Solmetix, moulded fibre

Introducing our latest eco-friendly packaging innovation for Solmetex, LLC Inc’s Sterisil Straws – a custom-designed PaperFoam® tray that redefines sustainable protection.

In close collaboration with MAX Solutions, we’ve created a packaging solution that delivers superior functionality without compromising the planet. Our molded tray offers reliable protection within a sturdy outer carton, ensuring the Sterisil Straws arrive exactly as intended – safe, clean, and ready to use.

Engineered for performance

The new PaperFoam® tray is purpose-built with precision features that elevate both product safety and user experience:

  • Friction fits keep each straw firmly in place, eliminating movement and minimizing risk during transit
  • A low-water color process reinforces our commitment to sustainability, with an eco-conscious hue that reduces waste
  • Dust-free and scratch-resistant by design, the tray keeps each component in pristine condition
  • A convenient finger hole allows for easy removal from the carton, improving handling and usability

Reducing our carbon footprint

Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond materials. We take a conservation-first approach across our entire operation, working to reduce carbon emissions at every stage. From utilizing renewable energy sources to recycling production waste, our facilities prioritize low-impact, no-pollution practices. With manufacturing sites in Europe, Asia, and the United States, local production is a key part of our strategy. By producing close to the point of delivery, we not only reduce shipping emissions, but also improve lead times and lower costs—proving that environmental responsibility and efficiency can go hand in hand.

Sustainability meets functionality

Crafted from industrial starch, fibers, and water, PaperFoam® delivers lightweight durability and 100% compostability. This packaging solution not only protects delicate products—it actively reduces environmental impact, aligning with Solmetex’s and our shared mission for a more sustainable future.
