Japan develops paper that can be pressed into packaging containers

Japanese paper companies use wood and pulp as raw materials, do not add any synthetic resin, and have developed a paper that can be directly pressed into packaging containers. This new type of paper is 5 to 10 times more flexible than normal paper. If a special metal mold is used, it can be directly pressed into various shapes of paper packaging containers. The paper packaging container has the same strength as the plastic packaging container and can be used to package daily necessities and foods. Not only its production cost is quite low, but also it can be recycled and reused, and it is harmless to the environment.
Japanese environmental experts said that in Japan, the plastics needed for the production of food packaging containers in recent years exceed 1 million tons, with a maximum of 2 million tons. Now, with this new type of paper, replacing its plastic packaging containers with its pressed paper packaging containers is expected to open up a huge market.
