RAIKU bio packaging Optimization, demonstration of natural, biodegradable packaging from wood in desired shapes for various industries

Coordinator: RAIKU PACKAGING OU (EE)

Every year, over 400 million tonnes of plastic waste is produced globally of which plastic packaging waste accounts for about 46%.This waste accumulates in waste dumps, landfills, and ends up in oceans and water bodies causing alarming threats to ecosystems. This calls for sustainable alternatives for plastic usage worldwide.RAIKU has developed a proprietary cleantech manufacturing technology for the creation of novel green packaging alternatives to bubble wrap for the packaging industry. The process utilizes one raw material wood, with zero chemicals and compostable end of life. RAIKU-s nove…
