I am curious if this could be a locally-produced substitute for those obiquitous sytrofoam containers.
Molded pulp
Molded pulp ,also named Moulded pulp or Molded Fibre,is a packaging material, typically made from 100% recycled old corrugated board, newspaper. It is used for protective packaging or for food service trays and beverage carriers. Molded pulp is also commonly referred to as molded fiber. Other typical uses are end caps, trays and clamshell containers.
For many applications, Molded pulp is less expensive than expanded polystyrene (EPS), vacuumed formed PET and PVC, Corrugation and Foams.
Molded pulp is considered a sustainable packaging material, as defined by the Sustainable Packaging Coalition, since it is produced from recycled materials, and can be recycled again after its useful life-cycle.
