Pulp molding application area III: Applications of biodegradable materials in pulp egg trays and seedling cups

Pulp-molded products are now widely used in the packaging of agricultural and sideline products—primarily flowerpots, seedling cups, and egg trays. Most of these products are manufactured using a dry-pressing process with yellow pulp and newspaper pulp. Such products have relatively low hygiene requirements and modest demands on rigidity, but require excellent water resistance. I. Agricultural and sideline food packaging containers — Pulp egg trays Egg trays represent one of the most widespread applications of pulp molding in agricultural and sideline products. Egg trays are typically produced using specialized rotary drum machines, enabling high production efficiency and low quality requirements. They can be industrially printed or dyed to produce trays in various colors for distinguishing different egg types. The pulp-making process for pulp-molded egg trays is simple: waste paper → shredding and refining → impurity removal → concentration adjustment—yielding finished pulp after just a few straightforward steps. Wastewater generated during production is fully recycled, effectively resolving pollution issues—a longstanding challenge that other papermaking processes have failed to overcome. II. Agricultural planting packaging containers — Seedling cups In agricultural planting packaging, flowerpots and seedling cups constitute the main product categories. Pulp-molded products possess full biodegradability; thus, they cause no secondary soil pollution upon disposal, making them widely adopted.
