Stora Enso, Sulapac to jointly develop renewable and biodegradable straws
Stora Enso, a Finland-based provider of renewable solutions in packaging, biomaterials, wooden constructions and paper globally; and Sulapac, a Finnish startup founded in 2016 that produces products designed for brands that want to eliminate plastic waste, are launching a demo for sustainable drinking straws at Slush 2018, a leading startup event that gathers 20,000 tech enthusiasts from around the world. The demo, which targets production on an industrial scale, is designed to replace traditional plastic straws with renewable ones. The straws are based on Sulapac’s biocomposite material – made of wood and natural binders – designed to be recycled via industrial composting and biodegrade in marine environments.
Stora Enso signed a joint development agreement with Sulapac in May 2018 to license its materials and technology. The development of the demo straw is a joint collaboration between Stora Enso and Sulapac – a cooperation which complements Stora Enso’s extensive biocomposite portfolio.
Sulapac’s material works in existing extrusion lines and the target is to have the straws commercially available in Q2 2019.
