Mattress companies Mondi and Ekornes ditch plastic for paper in their packaging redesign
Ekornes, a Norwegian furniture company renowned for its high-end mattresses, has announced a breaking news partnership with Mondi, a global packaging and paper group. This collaboration reflects both companies' commitment to sustainability and delivering eco-friendly solutions.
The new paper-based mattress packaging solution replaces a previous plastic packaging solution, marking a significant step towards a news and more sustainable future. The partnership between Ekornes and Mondi aims to deliver sustainable solutions alongside their premium products.
Ola Forsberg, Industry Group Manager Foaming Papers at Mondi, stated that this collaboration with Ekornes highlights their commitment to working together to solve industry-specific challenges. Forsberg did not appear in the provided search results, and no information about his company or employment is available.
The mattress packaging consists of two components: compress wrapping and secondary packaging. The compressed and rolled mattress is secured with an outer wrapper made from Mondi's FunctionalBarrier Paper Reduce. This paper ensures durability and vacuum sealing during the compression process.
Mondi's FunctionalBarrier Paper 95/5, used in the compress wrapping, meets Ekornes' technical requirements while contributing towards a circular economy. The new CompressWrap solution runs seamlessly on Ekornes' existing machinery, making the transition to the new packaging solution efficient and smooth.
In addition to the primary compress wrapping, Mondi's re/cycle CompressWrap is being used by Ekornes to wrap their mattresses during transport. This paper, designed for recycling according to the 4evergreen 'Design for Circularity Guidelines', further emphasises the companies' commitment to sustainability.
The new packaging solution allows consumers to unwrap the mattress without the need for a knife or cutter, aiming to ensure a safer unwrapping experience. This eco-friendly packaging solution is another step in Ekornes' ongoing efforts to deliver sustainable solutions alongside their high-end mattresses.
The partnership between Ekornes and Mondi to introduce a paper-based packaging solution for high-end mattresses is a testament to their shared commitment to sustainability and innovation. As both companies continue to work together, we can expect to see more eco-friendly solutions in the future.
