Metsä Group’s innovation company, Metsä Spring, is advancing its moulded fibre packaging innovation with the launch of the new Muoto punnet products as a part of its Muoto Uncoated Fibre Series. The two different punnet sizes are designed for berries, fruits, and vegetables, offering punnets with two different sizes to match the specific product and customer needs. The punnets will be ready for market testing starting from January 2026.
“We welcome packers to join our pre-commercial sales phase, test, and co-develop the right solution for their needs. Our Muoto punnets are durable, plastic-free, fully recyclable, and meet the strict requirements of the upcoming PPWR regulation. As the new legislation will most likely come into effect in 2030, this is the prime time to start testing other solutions for packing fresh products,” says Tarja Heikkilä, Product Manager, Muoto.
“We are happy to launch yet another scalable Muoto packaging solution. Our first pilots with industrial partners and customers have been very encouraging, and since last summer, we’ve already seen other Muoto products on the shelves of big retail shops, available for consumers. The punnet series is a great match for the market’s need to find alternatives to the current solutions that will not match with the upcoming EU regulation that will take effect in Europe soon,” says Niklas von Weymarn, CEO, Metsä Spring.
