Conic - a new sustainable packaging solution

Wood-based and three-dimensional

Conic is a completely wood-based packaging solution visualising how new technologies and co-learning can be used to create a circular future.

About Conic

The prototype Conic is a new solution that will enable brands to reach their sustainability targets while maintaining their premium position. Conic is a solution developed by Holmen Iggesund, The Loop Factory and Grow Future Packaging Lab.

The prototype is a completely wood-based formable premium packaging solution that illustrates how three-dimensional products, such as cups and trays, which are usually made from plastics can be made from sustainable materials.
