Collaborative Innovation: Empowering Brands Together
Since its launch, the ESpeed™ Plastic-Free Paper-Based Packaging has received positive feedback from partners and the market. Mondelez collaborated with Shanghai Ailu to customize this packaging for its biscuit products, marking the first use of flexible paper packaging in Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, and winning the “Sustainable Ecosystem Innovation Exploration Award.” Additionally, the flour paper packaging co-created by Shanghai Ailu and UPM also received accolades in the “Green Awareness Promotion” category.
Paper Over Plastic: Reducing Carbon Across the Lifecycle
In response to global environmental challenges and new regulations, the ESpeed™ Plastic-Free Paper-Based Packaging has been on an eco-friendly path since its development. The raw materials are sourced from FSC-certified forests and made from natural paper pulp, innovatively using a water-based emulsion coating instead of the common plastic film or coating found in flexible paper packaging. Shanghai Ailu adheres to the 4R1D principle, ensuring that the packaging is recyclable, biodegradable, and burnable after use, integrating environmental concepts throughout the product’s lifecycle.
