Recognition for the Moor-cardboard Award
In a significant stride towards a greener future, the Schrobenhausen-based company Leipa has been awarded the German Packaging Award in the sustainability category for its innovative plant-based cardboard production. The cardboard, produced as part of the Bavarian research and development project "Products from Moor Fibers," has captured the attention of the industry and the state government alike.
The award-winning cardboard is made from fibers found in the Donaumoos, a moorland in Bavaria. This pioneering approach to cardboard production has been celebrated by the Donaumoos Association, who expressed their pride in being a part of this project that contributes to a greener future.
The Bavarian research and development project "Products from Moor Fibers" is a collaborative effort involving multiple partners, including Leipa, research institutions, universities, and SMEs specializing in fiber processing and product development. The project aims to explore sustainable, environmentally friendly materials and applications using natural fibers obtained from moorlands, potentially in areas such as textiles, composites, or insulation materials.
Leipa's achievement is expected to have a significant impact on the industry's shift towards more eco-friendly materials. The state government has congratulated Leipa on its award and expressed its intention to provide further support to encourage more businesses to adopt sustainable practices. The state government's congratulatory message emphasizes the importance of sustainable practices in the packaging industry.
The motto of Leipa's award is "Reaching Moor Together," symbolizing the collaborative effort behind this groundbreaking achievement.
