Sulapac’s contribution to the circular economy has been recognized with the 2017 Green Alley Award, according to a report published by Clean Technica.

The Finnish packaging company’s 100 percent biodegradable cosmetic packaging is made from wood and natural binders and is water, oxygen and oil resistant.

“Just one year old, the start-up demonstrates how an idea can be successfully implemented and accelerated in a very short time,” said Jan Patrick Schulz, jury member of the Green Alley Award. “We see great potential in this packaging solution and look forward to seeing Sulapac on the shelves of local drugstores.”
