PulPac secures “global ownership” of Dry Molded Fiber plastic-replacement tech with European patent
PulPac 获得欧洲专利的干法模塑纤维制品替代一次性塑料技术的“全球所有权”
06 Sep 2021 --- PulPac has announced that the European Patent Office intends to grant the Dry Molder Fiber specialist a general patent. Europe becomes the third major region – after the US and Japan – to confirm PulPac’s ownership of the process of dry molding cellulose fibers.
2021 年 9 月 6 日 --- PulPac 宣布欧洲专利局打算授予 Dry Molder Fiber 专家一项通用专利。欧洲成为继美国和日本之后第三个确认 PulPac 拥有纤维干法成型工艺所有权的主要地区。
Dry Molder Fiber is a breakthrough technology enabling the replacement of single-use plastics on a global scale.
Dry Molder Fiber 是一项突破性技术，可在全球范围内，替代一次性塑料制品。
“As PackagingInsights has reported, there is a global ‘fiber frenzy’ within packaging. Innovation in plastic replacement is booming, and all of the big global FMCG brands are looking for sustainable packaging,” Sanna Fager, PulPac’s CCO, tells PackagingInsights.
“正如 PackagingInsights 报道的那样，包装中存在全球‘纤维狂潮’。塑料替代品的创新正在蓬勃发展，所有大型全球快速消费品品牌都在寻找可持续包装，”PulPac 的 CCO Sanna Fager 告诉 PackagingInsights。
“We have pioneered the technology of cellulose molding and made it possible to replace single-use plastics with a patented and market-ready fiber-based alternative that is good for business, consumers and the world we share,” explains Peter Ekwall, PulPac’s IP manager.
“我们开创了干法纤维成型技术，并能够用一种获得专利且可上市的基于植物纤维的替代品来替代一次性塑料，这种替代品对企业、消费者和我们共享的世界都有好处，”PulPac 的知识产权经理 Peter Ekwall 解释说。
Air not water
The European patent – which covers the use of air instead of water when molding cellulose fibers – has also been granted by the US, Japan, South Korea, Russia, Chile, Indonesia, Ukraine and South Africa.
使用空气作为成型媒介不是水
美国、日本、韩国、俄罗斯、智利、印度尼西亚、乌克兰和南非也授予了欧洲专利——该专利涵盖在干法纤维成型时使用空气代替水。
Dry Molded Fiber can lower CO2 emissions by 90% compared to plastic at a similar unit cost, PulPac says.
PulPac 表示，与塑料相比，干模塑纤维可以在相似的单位成本下将二氧化碳排放量降低 90%。
“As owners of this game-changing technology, it is our duty to the planet to spread it as fast and wide as we can. By making it available through licensing, we can quickly scale and help speed up the transition toward a more sustainable packaging industry,” comments Linus Larsson, PulPac’s CEO.
“作为这项改变游戏规则的技术的拥有者，我们有责任尽可能快速和广泛地传播它。PulPac 的首席执行官 Linus Larsson 评论道，通过许可提供它，我们可以快速扩展并帮助加速向更可持续的包装行业过渡。
“We invite converters, brands and suppliers in plastics or fiber that wish to grow with Dry Molded Fiber and support the advancement of a truly sustainable fiber packaging solution, to join our technology pool.”
“我们邀请希望与干法模压纤维一起成长并支持推进真正可持续的纤维包装解决方案的塑料或纤维加工商、品牌商和供应商加入我们的技术库。”
Pooling knowledge and resources
The Dry Molded Fiber Technology Pool is an exclusive open-source community, where members gain access to PulPac’s registered patent rights and the company’s expertise in Dry Molded Fiber technology and processes.
汇集知识和资源
干模压纤维技术池是一个独家开源社区，成员可以在其中获得 PulPac 的注册专利权以及公司在干模压纤维技术和工艺方面的专业知识。
In return, PulPac receives royalties while promising not to block other partners within the pool via new patents around Dry Molded Fiber.
作为回报，PulPac 获得版税，同时承诺不会通过围绕干模压纤维的新专利阻止专利池中的其他合作伙伴。
“Members of the pool will contribute to the expansion and quality of the pool with further patents and know-how. Together, we will win on price and sustainability against plastics,” Larsson continues.
“池的成员将通过进一步的专利和专有技术为池的扩展和质量做出贡献。与塑料相比，我们将共同在价格和可持续性方面取胜，”拉尔森继续说道。
“We aim to replace one million tons of single-use plastic by 2025. That equals a decrease of global CO2 emissions from the industry with up to five million tons and conserves massive amounts of valuable water resources.”
“我们的目标是到 2025 年替代 100 万吨一次性塑料。这相当于该行业的全球二氧化碳排放量减少了多达 500 万吨，并保护了大量宝贵的水资源。”
Big investments
To date, licensees and partners have invested close to US$100 million in Dry Molded Fiber. PulPac and its Technology Pool are making “massive efforts” to build a global supply chain of machinery and materials for industry use.
大投资
迄今为止，被许可方和合作伙伴已在干模塑纤维上投资了近 1 亿美元。PulPac 及其技术库正在“付出巨大努力”，以建立全球工业用机械和材料供应链。
PulPac now has global IP coverage of Dry Molded Fiber with 65 national granted patents.
PulPac 目前拥有干模压纤维的全球知识产权覆盖，拥有 65 项国家授权专利。
“It is a giant mission to disrupt a trillion-dollar industry from within, but Dry Molded Fibers is one of the candidates leading the race for sustainable packaging,” explains Larsson.
“从内部颠覆一个价值数万亿美元的行业是一项艰巨的任务，但干模塑纤维是引领可持续包装竞赛的候选者之一，”拉尔森解释说。
“PulPac is here to support the global transformation to fiber with many more innovations to come.”
“PulPac 在这里支持全球向（可自然降解的）植物纤维转型，未来还会有更多创新。”
PulPac now has global IP coverage of Dry Molded Fiber with 65 national granted patents and 39 patent applications. Several new patent applications are being filed later this year as PulPac continues to spearhead inventions and protect the Technology Pool.
PulPac 目前拥有干法纤维模压的全球知识产权覆盖，拥有 65 项国家授权专利和 39 项专利申请。随着 PulPac 继续引领发明并保护技术库，今年晚些时候将提交几项新的专利申请。
The fiber-based frenzy
The hotly debated EU Single-Use Plastics Directive (SUPD), first announced in 2019, is now in force. Since Saturday July 3, single-use plastic cotton bud sticks, cutlery, plates, straws, stirrers, balloon sticks and EPS drinks and food containers cannot be sold within the EU.
基于（可降解植物）纤维的狂热
备受争议的欧盟一次性塑料指令 (SUPD) 于 2019 年首次公布，现已生效。自 7 月 3 日星期六起，一次性塑料棉签、餐具、盘子、吸管、搅拌器、气球棒和 EPS 饮料和食品容器不能在欧盟范围内销售。
These disposable items were identified as the most polluting single-use items found on European beaches.
这些一次性用品被确定为欧洲海滩上污染最严重的一次性用品。
While many environmental activists welcome the new regulations, industry now faces a range of practical and legislative hurdles, presenting lucrative opportunities in many sectors while also raising fresh concerns around the impacts and implications of plastic-replacement materials.
虽然许多环保活动家欢迎新规定，但行业现在面临着一系列实际和立法障碍，在许多领域提供了有利可图的机会，同时也引发了对一次性塑料替代材料的影响和影响的新担忧。
PackagingInsights recently discussed the role of fiber-based alternatives in single-use packaging with experts from PulPac and Zume, two companies focused on developing cost-effective fiber-based alternatives to disposable plastic packaging and items.
PackagingInsights 最近与来自 PulPac 和 Zume 的专家讨论了基于纤维的替代品在一次性包装中的作用，这两家公司专注于开发具有成本效益的基于纤维的替代品来替代一次性塑料包装和物品。
