YUTOECO, a leading force in the eco-friendly packaging industry, has recently introduced FluoZero, a revolutionary PFAS-free greaseproof technology designed specifically for molded fiber food packaging, addressing key pain points in sustainable and high-performance greaseproof solutions. In the current catering packaging industry, the demand for PFAS-free greaseproof solutions is on the rise. However, existing alternatives have significant drawbacks. “in-slurry” PFAS-free solutions often face temperature limitations and offer only short-term greaseproof performance. Moreover, many of these solutions are derived from fossil-based materials, making them not only non-renewable but also non-biodegradable. Surface process solutions, such as lamination, may contain plastics, are relatively expensive, and some, like silicon-based coatings, may even pose risks to human health. FluoZero stands out as a remarkable solution to these challenges. It is not only completely PFAS-free but is also entirely plant-based and made from agricultural by-products, making it a sustainable and renewable option. FluoZero-treated products have a super-dense physical structure that effectively resists grease, which can withstand a wide range of temperatures, from -34°C to 220°C, maintaining long-term (8 hours) protection. This makes it suitable for a diverse range of applications, including frozen food packaging, airline meals, and high-temperature food containers for fried foods. In addition to its outstanding greaseproof and temperature resistance capabilities, FluoZero also offers improvements in product strength. Products made with FluoZero are thinner yet stronger than traditional molded fiber products, with increased bending stiffness and bursting strength. This not only reduces shipping costs but also accelerates the performance iteration of molded fiber products, such as the production of molded fiber cutleries, paper-based non-packaging structural components, and so on. YUTOECO's FluoZero technology has made significant progress, successfully obtaining USDA biobased certification and compostable certifications from BPI, Din Certco, while meeting FDA food contact regulations. This breakthrough effectively addresses the challenge of PFAS-free greaseproof in molded fiber products, making it ideal for high-temperature, greaseproof applications such as airline meal boxes and takeaway containers. Besides catering industries, FluoZero also shows great potential in industrial packaging, providing a more sustainable and reliable solution for products like hair dye mixing trays. YUTOECO's launch of FluoZero is in line with its long-standing commitment to sustainability. Since the establishment of the YUTOECO brand, the company has been dedicated to eco-friendly packaging solutions, shifting from process innovation to material innovation. FluoZero represents a significant step forward in this journey, offering a packaging solution that is not only high-performing but also safe...

From November 12-14, 2024, YUTOECO participated in the Sustainable Packaging Summit 2024 in Amsterdam, hosted by Packaging Europe, a leading packaging industry media outlet. This year’s summit, themed “PACKAGING IN A CHANGING WORLD”, gathered industry experts to discuss packaging innovations that address environmental challenges and explore the future of sustainable packaging solutions. Innovation Stage: Plant Fiber Packaging Insights Our Vice President, Howard Ma, took the Innovation Stage to deliver an insightful presentation on the opportunities and challenges in plant fiber packaging. He addressed the unique value that plant fibers bring to sustainable packaging, shedding light on both the hurdles and technical achievements in creating effective, environmentally friendly alternatives. The presentation attracted a significant audience interested in plant fiber packaging, sparking a lively Q&A session where attendees engaged with Howard on a deeper level. Diverse Eco-Friendly Packaging Solutions At our booth, YUTOECO showcased an array of plant fiber packaging solutions designed for different sectors and applications, demonstrating our ability to provide customized eco-friendly packaging options. Among the highlights were the cellulose eco lucent membrane solution and the crispy solution for food packaging—both featured in Howard’s presentation. Each sample underscored our commitment to advancing plant fiber packaging through R&D and design, aligning with our mission to support sustainable practices across industries. Expanding Innovation and Pushing Boundaries Beyond the solutions displayed at the summit, YUTOECO is constantly pursuing new advancements. In addition to well-known materials like sugarcane and bamboo, we’re actively researching alternative plant fibers, aiming to optimize resource efficiency while offering clients more versatile options. Meanwhile, we are also refining our production processes to make them more sustainable, reducing the environmental footprint of our packaging products. Our journey toward sustainable packaging solutions is ongoing. YUTOECO is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in plant fiber technology, not only meeting today’s sustainability standards but setting the stage for a greener future.

SPC Impact is the flagship spring event of the Sustainable Packaging Coalition. Over 800 packaging and sustainability professionals representing the entire packaging value chain will convene in New Orleans for 3 days to learn, discuss, get inspired and bring back actionable takeaways. The SPC is a membership-based collaborative that believes in the power of industry to make packaging more sustainable. SPC Impact 2024 brought together 800+ industry experts, 100+ speakers, and 40+ exhibitors, showcasing diverse eco-friendly solutions across sectors. As a sustainability solution pioneer beyond packaging and a proud sponsor, YUTOECO showcased our innovative eco-friendly products. With novel materials and unique designs, we offer sustainable packaging solutions to diverse brands. During this event, YUTOECO earned many attractions from the visitors, and did deep discussion surrounding new materials applications and product design concepts. ECO Lucent Membrane With the ongoing trend of plastic reduction, many packaging companies adopt "Paper Instead of Plastic" solutions to combat plastic pollution. However, this shift has introduced a new challenge: transparency. YUTOECO's ECO Lucent Membrane is a cellulose film derived from plant fiber. Boasting rapid soil degradation and home compostability, it ensures minimal environmental impact. Moreover, it's food-grade, guaranteeing safety, with exceptional mechanical properties for superior protection. Its multifunctional nature offers anti-fog, waterproofing, and heat-sealing capabilities. With versatile applications spanning food, baking, and pharmaceutical packaging, this innovation brings more possibility to the packaging industry and highlights the importance of sustainability and innovation. Adjustable Box Maximizing the use of packaging is a breakthrough point for sustainable packaging. Currently, most paper packaging on the market cannot be reused. Even if it can be reused, its fixed structure limits its applications. YUTOECO's adjustable boxes can freely adjust the size to better fit internal products, making them suitable for containing various types of products. Meanwhile, the adjustable size reduces gaps inside the box, minimizing vacant space and transportation volume, thus reducing carbon emissions during transportation. Its durability and adaptability enable repeated use, reducing the use of new materials and waste generation, thereby conserving natural resources. It can be recycled at the end of its lifecycle, achieving resource circulation. In addition, YUTOECO also showcased our diverse eco-friendly products at this event, such as plant fiber packaging, which can be widely applied in consumer electronics, personal care products, food, and other fields. We also introduced eco-friendly plant fiber cat litter, a patented wrapping technology, lightweight, biodegradable, and with extremely low dust, making it an innovative eco-friendly cat litter. YUTOECO has always adhered to the concept of "Turn ...
