A Shift Towards Sustainable Catering Solutions
Did you know that 73% of consumers prefer fiber-based packaging over plastic when it comes to food and catering products? This growing demand for environmentally conscious materials is transforming the packaging industry — and EcoVive is proud to be at the forefront of this shift.
Our premium catering packaging is made from lignocellulose sourced from sustainably managed Scandinavian forests, a material that offers both exceptional performance and strong sustainability credentials. But what makes northern forest fiber so unique? Let’s explore the qualities that set it apart.
1. Northern Climate Creates Naturally Strong Fiber
The secret lies in the harsh and cold Scandinavian climate. Here, long winters and short growth seasons lead to slower tree growth. This results in denser, stronger wood fiber — a natural advantage when creating durable yet lightweight packaging.
Because lignocellulose from northern forests has such high intrinsic strength, EcoVive packaging delivers:
Rigidity with minimal weight – ideal for catering where protection matters.
Material efficiency – less material is needed for the same strength, reducing waste.
Visual appeal – consistent, natural aesthetics for a premium presentation.
Strength combined with lightness means our catering clients get cost-effective, eco-friendly packaging without compromising on quality.
2. Using Forestry Side Streams for True Resource Efficiency
EcoVive is committed to making the most of every tree. Much of our lignocellulose comes from forestry side streams — parts of trees that remain after timber production or forest thinning.
This includes:
Wood from selective thinning, allowing remaining trees to grow stronger.
Treetops, bark, and chips from sawmills that would otherwise go unused.
By tapping into these side streams, we minimize additional forest felling while meeting growing demand for renewable catering packaging.
3. Sustainable Forestry Traditions and Full Traceability
In Scandinavia, forestry is deeply rooted in tradition and science. Most forests are privately owned by families who have passed down sustainable management practices for generations.
EcoVive works only with suppliers who meet strict sustainability standards, ensuring:
100% of our fiber comes from sustainably managed forests.
A commitment to protect and enhance forest biodiversity for future generations.
Our partners actively support biodiversity by increasing the number of retention trees, maintaining thickets, and encouraging mixed-species growth to ensure forests remain healthy and resilient.
Premium Catering Packaging with a Purpose
From the unique strength of northern lignocellulose to the careful stewardship of Scandinavian forests, every EcoVive product is designed with both performance and planet in mind.
Choosing EcoVive means you’re not just getting premium, food-safe catering packaging — you’re supporting a production chain that values natural resources, reduces waste, and invests in the future of our forests.
