EcosurePulpmolding has entered into a technical joint venture with Fang Thai Factory Limited, aThailand Company. The joint venture, FTF Candia Fiber Mold Packaging (Thailand) Company Limited, will offer turnkey solutions by producing chemical-free enzymatic cellulosic fiber (GREEN fib technology) from various types of agro waste by using green fiber technology. We are setting up two international projects, one project in Thailand and another one in Australia.”
EcosurePulpmolding’s Climate-Conscious Future
EcosurePulpmolding entered the market in a post-Covid era, but its preparations required a study of pre and post-pandemic trends. The observation shows a preference for biodegradable products stemming from twin concerns. The first is a higher awareness of hygienic practices and the second is the realization of individual and societal carbon footprint. “The end consumer is more sensitized toward sustainable practices and prefers biodegradable products, like agro-fiber-based tableware, instead of plastic products, such as one-use plastic ware. Hence, EcosurePulpmolding is also making its presence and efforts known toward manufacturing climate-conscious industrial products,” commented Mr. Kumar.

EcosurePulpmolding’s products use agro-fiber or bagasse pulp to manufacture biodegradable products. The agro-fiber pulp is sourced from agro-waste of sugarcane, bamboo, rice straw, and wheat straw. Bagasse-based products are manufactured from sugarcane-based agro-waste pulp.
Mr. Kumar further highlighted the company’s contribution towards the Indian economy, “EcosurePulpmolding is a contributor to various government campaigns, such as Make in India and Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana. We also provide technical education support to our customers through an in-house design facility about how a production plant must be set up.” The motivation for all these facilities is stemmed from the market demand that the company forecasts for the industry’s future.
