PulPac secures “global ownership” of Dry Molded Fiber plastic-replacement tech with European patent
PulPac 獲得歐洲專利的干法模塑纖維制品替代一次性塑料技術的“全球所有權”
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 宣布歐洲專利局打算授予 Dry Molder Fiber 專家一項通用專利。歐洲成為繼美國和日本之后第三個確認 PulPac 擁有纖維干法成型工藝所有權的主要地區(qū)。
Dry Molder Fiber is a breakthrough technology enabling the replacement of single-use plastics on a global scale.
Dry Molder Fiber 是一項突破性技術，可在全球范圍內，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 報道的那樣，包裝中存在全球‘纖維狂潮’。塑料替代品的創(chuàng)新正在蓬勃發(fā)展，所有大型全球快速消費品品牌都在尋找可持續(xù)包裝，”PulPac 的 CCO Sanna Fager 告訴 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.
“我們開創(chuàng)了干法纖維成型技術，并能夠用一種獲得專利且可上市的基于植物纖維的替代品來替代一次性塑料，這種替代品對企業(yè)、消費者和我們共享的世界都有好處，”PulPac 的知識產(chǎn)權經(jīng)理 Peter Ekwall 解釋說。
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.
使用空氣作為成型媒介不是水
美國、日本、韓國、俄羅斯、智利、印度尼西亞、烏克蘭和南非也授予了歐洲專利——該專利涵蓋在干法纖維成型時使用空氣代替水。
Dry Molded Fiber can lower CO2 emissions by 90% compared to plastic at a similar unit cost, PulPac says.
PulPac 表示，與塑料相比，干模塑纖維可以在相似的單位成本下將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.
“作為這項改變游戲規(guī)則的技術的擁有者，我們有責任盡可能快速和廣泛地傳播它。PulPac 的首席執(zhí)行官 Linus Larsson 評論道，通過許可提供它，我們可以快速擴展并幫助加速向更可持續(xù)的包裝行業(yè)過渡。
“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.”
“我們邀請希望與干法模壓纖維一起成長并支持推進真正可持續(xù)的纖維包裝解決方案的塑料或纖維加工商、品牌商和供應商加入我們的技術庫。”
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.
匯集知識和資源
干模壓纖維技術池是一個獨家開源社區(qū)，成員可以在其中獲得 PulPac 的注冊專利權以及公司在干模壓纖維技術和工藝方面的專業(yè)知識。
In return, PulPac receives royalties while promising not to block other partners within the pool via new patents around Dry Molded Fiber.
作為回報，PulPac 獲得版稅，同時承諾不會通過圍繞干模壓纖維的新專利阻止專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.
“池的成員將通過進一步的專利和專有技術為池的擴展和質量做出貢獻。與塑料相比，我們將共同在價格和可持續(xù)性方面取勝，”拉爾森繼續(xù)說道。
“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.”
“我們的目標是到 2025 年替代 100 萬噸一次性塑料。這相當于該行業(yè)的全球二氧化碳排放量減少了多達 500 萬噸，并保護了大量寶貴的水資源。”
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.
大投資
迄今為止，被許可方和合作伙伴已在干模塑纖維上投資了近 1 億美元。PulPac 及其技術庫正在“付出巨大努力”，以建立全球工業(yè)用機械和材料供應鏈。
PulPac now has global IP coverage of Dry Molded Fiber with 65 national granted patents.
PulPac 目前擁有干模壓纖維的全球知識產(chǎn)權覆蓋，擁有 65 項國家授權專利。
“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.
“從內部顛覆一個價值數(shù)萬億美元的行業(yè)是一項艱巨的任務，但干模塑纖維是引領可持續(xù)包裝競賽的候選者之一，”拉爾森解釋說。
“PulPac is here to support the global transformation to fiber with many more innovations to come.”
“PulPac 在這里支持全球向（可自然降解的）植物纖維轉型，未來還會有更多創(chuàng)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 目前擁有干法纖維模壓的全球知識產(chǎn)權覆蓋，擁有 65 項國家授權專利和 39 項專利申請。隨著 PulPac 繼續(xù)引領發(fā)明并保護技術庫，今年晚些時候將提交幾項新的專利申請。
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）纖維的狂熱
備受爭議的歐盟一次性塑料指令 (SUPD) 于 2019 年首次公布，現(xiàn)已生效。自 7 月 3 日星期六起，一次性塑料棉簽、餐具、盤子、吸管、攪拌器、氣球棒和 EPS 飲料和食品容器不能在歐盟范圍內銷售。
These disposable items were identified as the most polluting single-use items found on European beaches.
這些一次性用品被確定為歐洲海灘上污染最嚴重的一次性用品。
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.
雖然許多環(huán)?；顒蛹覛g迎新規(guī)定，但行業(yè)現(xiàn)在面臨著一系列實際和立法障礙，在許多領域提供了有利可圖的機會，同時也引發(fā)了對一次性塑料替代材料的影響和影響的新?lián)鷳n。
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 最近與來自 PulPac 和 Zume 的專家討論了基于纖維的替代品在一次性包裝中的作用，這兩家公司專注于開發(fā)具有成本效益的基于纖維的替代品來替代一次性塑料包裝和物品。
