Our Solution to the Plastic Pollution Crisis

To address this environmental tragedy, we design and manufacture eco-friendly packaging for consumer products.  Our patent-pending (#13/872,687) Karta-Pack™ is a direct replacement for the toxic plastic blister pack.  It’s comprised of 100% recycled pulp and paper, contains no plastic of any kind, and can be composted or recycled when discarded.

The Karta-Pack™ responds to an urgent need for improved retail packages that significantly reduce the negative impact on the environment but also provide consumers with enhanced functionality and design.  In essence, our Karta-Pack™ provides all of the display benefits of plastic blister packaging but without the toxicity and danger to people and planet.

Even though molded pulp technology is commonly associated with the egg-carton or used ‘behind-the-scenes’ as protective packaging for costly or fragile consumer items, PulpWorks has elevated this material to a new level of retail elegance.  Employing different colors, textures, and designs, the innovative Karta-Pack™ has attracted customers in categories as diverse as beauty care and electronics.

Currently, with our strategic partner, the Mohawk Paper Co., we are examining how a new source of agricultural waste as well as the science of nanotechnology can impact the molded pulp packaging industry.  These innovations have the potential to create a “super pulp” – with increased durability and moisture resistance – for countless new plastic replacement packaging applications.

PulpWorks will be a market leader with this proprietary technology.
