VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, in collaboration with Aalto University and Finnish industrial partners, has developed a technology for shaping cardboard, creating origami-inspired structures for fiber-based protective packaging materials. As the e-commerce packaging market continues to expand, there is rising concern over the packaging’s carbon footprint and material composition. For example, global sustainability issues like the potential environmental impact of microplastic pollution mean that demand for new, sustainable packaging solutions continues to rise.
