The Rise of Moulded Pulp: In Discussion with Alexander Koukoulas

In our latest podcast we talk to paper and pulp expert Alexander Koukoulas about the outlook for moulded pulp, a market that will continue to grow steadily from 2025 to 2030. We discuss how the implementation of PPWR in Europe, and growing EPR regulations globally, are driving the shift away from plastics to more sustainable materials such as moulded fibre. We also explore regional differences, especially in light of regulations; as well as key performance characteristics, innovations and barriers to adoption.
