Akvila Cutlery's reusable Nature Line is made of UPM Formi EcoAce - a sustainable material for replacing single use plastics
FINLAND (News release) -- UPM is aiming to find sustainable solutions for replacing fossil-based raw materials and offering environmentally sound alternatives. One of the most recent innovations is UPM Formi EcoAce biocomposite, launched at the beginning of 2020. This revolutionary biocomposite is almost 100 % based on renewable resources. UPM Formi EcoAce contains certified wood and cellulose fibers as well as certified renewable PP polymers from SABIC's TRUCIRCLEâ„¢ solutions. The renewable PP polymers are made of wood-based feedstock from UPM Biofuels' production. UPM's BioVerno production is certified by both ISCC PLUS and RSB, and the sustainability of the material has been verified accordingly. The products are also stronger and more durable than single-use cutlery with a guaranteed heat resistance of over 100 degrees and suitability for dishwashing. The product safety and reusability of the new Nature Line cutlery have been tested and approved in food migration tests. Washing machine durability tests for getting the EN 12875 certificate are in process.
