The raw materials for pulp molding include various types of waste paper, such as newspaper, cardboard, and paperboard, as well as agricultural waste products such as bagasse (sugarcane residue), straw, and bamboo. These raw materials are first broken down into pulp by adding water and chemicals, and then molded into the desired shape using a pulp molding machine.
In recent years, there has been an increasing focus on using more sustainable and environmentally friendly materials in pulp molding, such as biodegradable and compostable packaging materials. Bagasse is one such material that is commonly used in pulp molding, as it is a waste product from the sugar cane industry that would otherwise be discarded. Bagasse is a renewable resource that is biodegradable and compostable, making it a popular choice for sustainable packaging solutions.
