Pulpex also being a more sustainable packaging solution. We optimize for use up to 24 months post filling, meaning it’ s best used for fastmoving goods. We’ re not looking to replace all glass and plastic- glass is suited to luxury, long-life goods and aggressive substances are better suited to plastic containers. That being said, there’ s a lot of opportunity for fiber-based packaging when it comes to rapid consumption products.”
After years of research and development, Pulpex is primed to break into the industry in a big way, as Scott discusses:“ Our short-term priority is getting our factory in Glasgow up and running with the aim of being operational by the first quarter of 2026. That’ s no small task, as with any first-of-a-kind facility we’ re at the beginning of our journey. We need to get the technology deployed and in place, but we’ re very confident that our products will flood into the market once that happens.
“ In the meantime, we’ ll continue to produce packaging from our research and development center. There’ s also a lot of new product launches coming out over the course of this year in various categories, which will offer something new and exciting to the UK market.
“ Looking further ahead, our priorities will be driving scale and becoming a major player in the packaging industry. We’ re constantly in conversation with potential manufacturing partners across the globe. We have frequent visitors to our research and development center in Sawston so they can learn what we’ re all about and be ready to deploy in their local markets. It’ s a hugely exciting time and I can’ t wait to see how Pulpex evolves,” he concludes. ■
