Turning Used Beverage Cartons into Sustainable Fiber Packaging
The RECFIB™ Pulp Mill Process is an innovative, patent-pending technology developed to recover valuable cellulose fibers from Used Beverage Cartons (UBC) such as Tetra Pak waste and convert them into sustainable, home-compostable molded fiber packaging.
Our process bridges the gap between waste recovery and eco-friendly packaging by transforming multi-layered packaging waste into a renewable raw material source — giving a second life to post-consumer cartons.
Used beverage cartons (UBCs) are collected, sorted, and shredded into small flakes. These flakes typically contain four layers of paperboard (75%), polyethylene, aluminum, and adhesives.
Using our proprietary hydrapulping and screening system, the paperboard fibers are separated from the plastic and aluminum layers.
The result: clean, high-quality cellulose pulp ready for reuse.
The reclaimed pulp is then used to form eco-friendly molded fiber products such as plates, trays, clamshells, and takeaway containers — that are:
The recovered fiber undergoes refining and cleaning stages to enhance its strength, brightness, and purity, ensuring consistent performance for molded packaging applications.
