mPACKTING LOOKS TO UPCYCLING WITH mBLACK BEAUTY PACKAGING MATERIAL
mBlack is a patented material developed by mPackting, part of the Minelli Group, designed as an alternative to conventional plastic in packaging. Made from wood scraps from Minelli Group’s production, the material undergoes a pyrolysis process to turn it into powder. The resulting biochar is then mixed with a biopolymer to create mBlack. This new material is compatible with existing injection molding machines, enabling companies to adopt it without the need to invest in specialized equipment.
One of the key features of mBlack is its ability to act as a carbon sink. This means that mBlack can store carbon in a stable, long-term form, helping reduce CO2 in the atmosphere and contribute to climate cooling. Not only is mBlack a scalable carbon sink, but it is also biodegradable and does not release microplastics, ensuring that it doesn’t interfere with the food supply chain. This makes it an ideal sustainable material choice for the cosmetics industry.
Additionally, mPackting aims to expand the mBlack family, working on making it suitable for blow molding and extrusion molding. This would allow mBlack to be used in a wider range of packaging applications beyond injection-molded cosmetic jars. The company focuses on providing the finished products, enabling brands to use sustainable materials without additional processing. mPackting is targeting both masstige and premium cosmetics brands, which are increasingly seeking environmentally friendly packaging options to align with their sustainability goals.
