Yangi has introduced its Yangi Cellera industrial machine platform for fibre-based dry forming technology, said to reduce water and energy consumption and reduce CO2 emissions by up to 70%.
Yangi collaborated with GDM (part of Coesia group) and AP&T on the platform’s design and engineering. The companies say the machine aims to enhance performance, quality, and sustainability in fibre-based packaging.
Yangi states its dry forming technology enables the production of cost-competitive fibre-based packaging that integrates seamlessly into existing recycling systems. With Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) adding pressure for innovative solutions, Yangi claims early adopters of the Cellera technology can gain by offering solutions that meet current regulations and anticipate future industry requirements, with commercial-ready solutions expected as early as 2026.
“Building on a decade of R&D in dry forming and extensive data collection from our industrial demo line, the market introduction of Yangi Cellera for full-scale production will provide deeper insights for continued technological advancements,” says Yangi CEO Johann Kaiser. “This milestone sets the stage for the next wave of innovation in dry forming with a continued focus on advancing our dry forming technology to improve sustainability in packaging.”
We recently spoke with Cirkla co-founder and chief business officer Ankur Gupta as part of our Sustainability Perspectives podcast, looking at the role moulded fibre packaging plays when it comes to finding alternatives to plastic packaging. The episode also discussed what drives the shift to plastic packaging alternatives, challenges companies face when making it and how innovations such as fibre MAP trays support it.
Last month YUTOECO unveiled its plant-based FluoZero solution, aiming to address challenges such as temperature limitations and short-term greaseproof protection. The solution is said to withstand temperatures from -34°C to 220°C and be suitable for applications including frozen food packaging, airline meals, and high-temperature food containers for fried foods.
