Solidus leads the way in circular packaging innovation

Packaging with purpose in a changing world

As global industries accelerate their shift toward sustainability, packaging plays an increasingly strategic role. Companies are no longer just seeking compliance with regulations. They are looking for long-term partners who understand both the technical and environmental challenges of modern supply chains. Solidus meets that need by delivering advanced circular packaging solutions built on decades of expertise in fibre-based innovation.

Circular packaging is not simply a trend. It represents a structural shift in how materials are sourced, used and recovered. At Solidus, circularity is deeply embedded in product design, manufacturing and logistics. This holistic approach enables businesses to meet environmental goals while maintaining strength, efficiency and performance across all packaging functions.

What circular packaging means at Solidus

At its core, circular packaging is about keeping valuable resources in use for as long as possible. It challenges the traditional linear model of take, make and dispose by promoting reuse, recycling and reintegration. Solidus puts this vision into action by focusing on materials and systems that close the loop rather than create waste.

Our solutions are developed with full lifecycle thinking. Solidus packaging is:

• Made with more than 90 percent recycled fibres

• Fully recyclable within European waste systems

• Designed using mono-material construction to simplify sorting and recovery

• Optimized for logistics through compact, lightweight formats

These features ensure that every Solidus product delivers value not just at the shelf or during transport, but at every stage of the circular economy.

Why fibre-based packaging matters

Fibre-based materials have become essential for companies transitioning toward sustainability. Solidus uses high-quality recovered paper to produce solid board packaging that performs under pressure. Whether for chilled foods, pharmaceutical goods or luxury items, Solidus offers packaging that meets technical demands while staying fully recyclable.

Advantages of our fibre-based solutions include:

• Strong mechanical performance for a wide range of industries

• Compatibility with food safety and hygiene standards

• Full printability for branding and shelf appeal

• Easier recycling compared to plastic or composite alternatives

Thanks to mono-material construction, Solidus packaging avoids the complexities of separation and sorting that often undermine recycling rates in traditional formats.

A vertically integrated model for full control

One of Solidus’s greatest strengths is its vertically integrated production model. From sourcing recovered paper to producing board and converting it into final packaging, every step is managed within our own facilities. This approach creates multiple benefits for customers:

• Better traceability and consistency in quality

• Fewer transport movements and reduced carbon footprint

• More flexibility in lead times and product customization

Full control over the value chain means Solidus can deliver packaging solutions that are not only sustainable but also highly reliable in supply and performance.

Co-creating packaging solutions that deliver impact

At Solidus, we believe in partnership. Every industry faces unique challenges when it comes to packaging. That is why we offer custom development through our Experience Centers, where customers work directly with our design and engineering teams.

Together, we create packaging that meets exact specifications for strength, size, recyclability and visual impact. Whether it is reducing the material weight per unit or meeting strict certification criteria, our process is built to support measurable progress toward circular goals.

An example of this success can be seen in the fresh produce sector, where Solidus helped a customer replace plastic trays with fibre-based alternatives. The result was a 75 percent reduction in CO₂ emissions, without compromising product protection.

Communicating sustainability through packaging

In today’s market, packaging is also a communication tool. Consumers want to see evidence of sustainability in the products they buy. With Solidus, brands can showcase their environmental commitment through packaging that is both responsible and refined.

We offer high-quality printing options that bring designs to life while maintaining recyclability. From direct-print food packaging to premium finishes for high-end goods, Solidus solutions combine circular design with visual excellence.

A future built on circular thinking

The path to sustainable packaging requires more than intention. It takes action, expertise and long-term vision. Solidus offers all three. By delivering fully recyclable, fibre-based packaging with reliable performance and proven environmental benefits, we help businesses turn packaging into a force for positive change.

Circular packaging is no longer a choice. It is an expectation. With Solidus as your partner, you can lead the way in transforming your packaging strategy into a competitive and sustainable advantage.
