en.Wedoany.com Reported - Valmet has launched its 3D fiber technology, which uses cellulose fibers to produce lightweight yet rigid end products such as trays, plates, and other food packaging applications.

Petri Rasinmäki, Executive Vice President of Valmet's Packaging and Paper business, stated that demand for molded fiber packaging solutions is growing. By combining deep expertise in fiber-based packaging, paper process technology, and automation, Valmet can offer packaging producers competitive end-to-end solutions. With Valmet's 3D fiber technology, customers are supported in seizing new business opportunities, strengthening their market position, and accelerating the transition to fiber-based packaging.

The process design allows for efficient recycling of side streams and trim waste during production, further improving overall process efficiency and supporting the circular economy.

Juho Pyrrö, Head of Valmet's 3D Fiber unit, said that the advantage of Valmet's 3D fiber lies in the combination of unique fiber layering technology, production capacity, and automation. This technology enables customers to develop demanding three-dimensional packaging solutions while maintaining high productivity and resource efficiency.

This launch reinforces Valmet's strategic focus on continuous innovation with customers and supports its ambition to lead the circular economy by promoting solutions based on renewable materials and resource efficiency.

The development of Valmet's 3D fiber technology is based on a long-term collaboration with Metsä Spring, the innovation company of the Metsä Group. Since 2020, Valmet and Metsä Spring have been working together to develop a novel production concept that transforms wood fibers into sustainable packaging solutions.
