Toy manufacturer Fischertechnik is incorporating a flexible bio-based material from Paptic for its packaging.

The box of the set is made of cardboard and Paptic is made from wood-based fibre. It’s claimed that Paptic can be recycled with cardboard and paper.

“We are delighted to offer our customers a sustainably complete package, from the product itself to the packaging,” said Jasmin Reich, product manager, Fischertechnik. “The importance of sustainability is continuously growing. At Fischertechnik, we want to live up to our responsibility targets and secure nature for future generations. One concrete action is to look for more sustainable packaging solutions for our products and applications.”

“We are proud that Fischertechnik chose our material for this packaging application, and I want to thank Jasmin and her team for the successful cooperation. From the beginning, it was clear that we shared a common goal to find a sustainable solution to replace the single-use plastics in the packaging of the bio-based construction set. Now the entire package is easy to dispose of for consumers,” said Uwe Schulz, business development and sales, Paptic. “We combine sustainability and functionality in our materials. For example, in this case, the puncture resistance of the material was tested. The Paptic materials are available as FSC certified.”

The project was completed in a few months. The bio-based construction set Animal Friends packed in Paptic is now available in stores.
