Metsä Board Partners on Corrugated Waste Receptacle Designed for Hygienic Disposal of Face Masks
Metsä Board, the European producer of premium fresh fiber paperboards, and part of Metsä Group, partnered with packaging design agency, Futupack, and corrugated board converter, Capertum, to manufacture a corrugated mask bin for the disposal of face masks. The design focuses on the materials, usability and disposability of the bin.
Futupack is a Finnish company that designs and implements sustainable packaging solutions. “We wanted the mask bin to be as aesthetic as possible so that it could fit easily in any indoor environment. It’s delivered flat and can be quickly assembled. In addition, full instructions on assembly for consumers are printed on the bin. When the mask bin is full, it’s easily closed and the can be safely and hygienically disposed of with the incinerated waste,” said Jani Mäkipää, lead packaging engineer at Futupack.
