Celwise - scaling plastic-free rigid food packaging
← Back to press releases
Celwise is redefining molded fibre packaging with a patented fibre molding technology designed to match the speed, precision and cost profile of plastic while preserving the sustainability advantages of paper. The company is addressing a major market need in rigid food packaging, where hundreds of billions of packs are used each year and brands are under increasing regulatory and consumer pressure to replace fossil-based plastics with circular alternatives. Celwise is positioned in a fast-growing moulded fibre market and aims to help make plastic-free packaging viable at industrial scale.
Celwise’s innovation lies in its high-performance steam and thermoforming approach, which improves strength, consistency and production efficiency compared with legacy fibre processes. With EIC Accelerator support, the company is moving from pilot to industrial scale and accelerating commercialization, with a focus on bringing its technology to global markets, expanding manufacturing partnerships, and enabling large-scale substitution of rigid plastic packaging.
EIC Accelerator provides an excellent financing opportunity for small and medium sized companies for product development and commercial uptake with novel technologies. Applying for the EIC Accelerator funding should be considered if your company:
- has developed a novel technological solution with a superior value proposition;
- has tested and validated a prototype proving the benefits of the technology;
- has early traction with the first customers and proven strong market demand for the solution.
