In recent years, sustainability has evolved from a visionary objective into a concrete regulatory and market-driven requirement across almost all value chains. To enable partners in the dietary supplements, food and cosmetics industries to proactively shape this transformation, Sensoplast® has announced a significant, forward-looking expansion of its product portfolio: the company has acquired all the assets of forewood®, a specialist in sustainable closure and packaging solutions.
Proven technology and innovative material properties
The closure solutions developed by forewood® have been in use for several years in well-known branded consumer goods, available through distributors under real-world market conditions.
What sets them apart is their innovative material concept:
• Free from standard polymers: the products are based on wood and plant fibres and do not contain any conventional plastics.
• High technical functionality: despite their nature-based approach, the closures offer excellent stability, toughness and barrier properties – characteristics that have often posed a technical challenge for sustainable packaging alternatives in the past.
• Aesthetic appeal: The biopolymer-based solutions prove that environmental sustainability, high quality and attractive design do not exclude each other.
A key building block for future sustainability strategies By integrating forewood® technology, Sensoplast® is providing its customers with direct access to innovative, nature-based packaging components. The acquisition adds an essential building block for sustainable packaging concepts to the existing range. In addition to its established products, the acquisition also offers a wide range of customised development and adaptation options to meet specific customer requirements.
