Chanel has invested in Sulapac, a startup company in Finland, that makes sustainable packaging products based on a biodegradable, microplastic-free trademarked material made from FSC-certified wood chips and natural binders.
According to Sulapac, Chanel is the first investor from the cosmetics industry. “Chanel is definitely one of the forerunners in the luxury segment as they want to invest [in the] latest sustainable material and technology innovations,” said Sulapac co-founder and CEO Suvi Haimi. “Our mission to save this world from the plastic waste just became a big step closer.”
The material can be mass-produced with the same equipment as plastic.
