Our shared future needs to be sustainable. We focus on finding sustainable solutions to modern packaging problems. Varden’s core technologies all rely on the use of natural moulded pulp fibre to create sustainable, beautiful and high performing packaging for global consumer foodstuffs.
Nature prototypes constantly and given time can provide a solution to the most challenging problems. Our materials are all naturally derived and, as in nature, the structure of our materials create the solution. Our solutions deliver the performance we need today while preserving and enriching our world for tomorrow.
Our biomaterial sources come from agricultural residue, not waste, as nature doesn’t produce waste. We repurpose these natural fibres to provide enhanced properties, but we ensure that nature still recognises them as her own.
Modern food production and distribution requires preservation and protection. Preservation through limited oxidisation or controlling moisture. For many years plastics or metals were the only way to provide this – but now Varden offer a better solution.
Our material is born of chemistry and engineering, of an understanding of plant fibres and their strengths and of the production methods needed to translate them into high performance barriers.
We also took a leaf out of nature’s play book on production and efficiency: do the most with the least! Varden compared the Life Cycle Analysis of our material with that of plastic, glass and metal packaging and we came out top of the class. We had a very good teacher!
