How Pulp Molding Trays Are Disrupting the Dominance of Traditional EPS Foam


Traditional EPS foam (expanded polystyrene foam) has long dominated the market due to its lightweight properties and stable cushioning performance. However, its petroleum-based raw materials are non-renewable, it takes centuries to degrade, and its recycling rate remains below 30%. These flaws result in over ten million tons of EPS waste annually becoming a primary source of marine and soil pollution. Furthermore, incineration releases toxic gases.

Against this backdrop, molded pulp products made from natural plant fibers achieve comparable cushioning performance to EPS through custom-molded paper trays. Moreover, they demonstrate unique advantages such as high-temperature resistance and corrosion resistance in applications like food packaging and medical devices.


Comparison of Pulp Molding Products and Traditional EPS Foam

Pulp Molding Products EPS Foam
Non-toxic, odorless, and naturally biodegradable Not naturally biodegradable
Excellent shock absorption (protecting products through the paper's resilience and the geometric deformation of the cushioning material) Weak shock absorption (relying on the foam-like shock-absorbing properties of EPS material)
Does not generate static electricity Generates static electricity
Does not easily deform after setting Prone to deformation under high temperatures
100% recycling rate, recyclable and reusable, eliminating waste disposal costs. Not recyclable
High usage rates in developed countries such as Europe and the United States Developed countries such as Europe and the United States do not permit the use of

Globepulp new pulp molded trays meet testing standards such as ROHS, SGS, and REACH, and comply with physical properties including shock resistance and static dissipation. They are smaller in volume than foam plastics, stackable, and easy to transport. These trays are widely used as inner cushioning and shock-absorbing packaging for industrial and agricultural products, including electronics, various glassware, ceramics, communication equipment, toys, crafts, as well as fruits, vegetables, and eggs.

Globepulp employs innovative manufacturing techniques to produce three-dimensional structures that precisely conform to bottle contours. Its internal grooves or wave patterns effectively disperse impact forces. Meanwhile, the smooth, seamless surface of the pulp tray perfectly accommodates high-definition printed labels and graphics, eliminating the blurred brand information caused by creases and wear common in traditional corrugated paper trays. This ensures products maintain an elegant appearance throughout shelf display.

3 Medical Device Pulp Tray


Globepulp medical device pulp trays are lightweight and won't add excessive burden to the transportation and storage of medical equipment. Whether for small precision instruments or large medical devices, pulp tray packaging can handle them with ease.

Medical Device Pulp Tray


Paper trays are easy to cut and can be flexibly trimmed to fit the shape and size of different medical devices, achieving a precise packaging fit. This provides reliable protection for medical devices, preventing damage from impacts during handling and transportation.



4 Cosmetic Pulp Tray


Globepulp's pulp trays for cosmetics and personal care products can be flexibly customized to meet customer requirements. For heavier or fragile glass bottle products, structural strength can be enhanced by thickening the wall material and adding reinforcement ribs to prevent deformation during transport.
