Before You Build a Pulp Tableware Factory, Answer These Five QuestionsA new molded fiber project often arrives in our inbox as a very short request:“We need a 5-ton-per-day production line. Please quote.”The number is useful, but it is not enough to design a factory.Five tons of what?How many products?What is the average unit weight?What raw material will be used?How many hours will the plant operate each day?These questions will be part of our discussions at the 140th Canton Fair in Guangzhou, October 23–27, 2026.

When a customer starts planning a pulp molded tableware factory, one of the first questions is usually about output.How much can one machine actually produce in a day?For Far East's SD-P21 automatic pulp tableware molding machine, a daily output of approximately 800 kg per machine can be achieved under suitable production conditions.But that number needs some explanation.An 800 kg/day rating does not mean every plate, bowl, lid or food container will be produced at exactly the same rate. Molded fiber production is highly dependent on the product itself.A lightweight cup lid and a large three-compartment food container may run on the same type of equipment, but their mold layout, product weight and production cycle are different.

A pulp tableware molding machine is used to form prepared plant-fiber pulp into products such as plates, bowls, trays and takeaway containers. For a new factory or an expansion project, selecting a machine starts with the products you intend to sell: their dimensions, weight, shape and required daily volume.Far East GeoTegrity develops pulp molding equipment and manufactures molded-fiber tableware. Our equipment range includes semi-automatic and fully automatic options, with project support covering layout planning, molds, installation guidance, commissioning and operator training.

Far East GeoTegrity has received international recognition for its innovation in pulp-molded tableware manufacturing technology.The project “SD-A CNC Intelligent Pulp-Molded Tableware Production Equipment and Products,” submitted by GeoTegrity Ecopack (Xiamen) Co., Ltd., won a Gold Medal at the 11th International Invention Innovation Competition in Canada, also known as iCAN 2026.The project subsequently stood out among the Gold Medal winners and received the iCAN Special Award, achieving the distinction of winning two awards with one entry.The results mark another important milestone for Far East GeoTegrity and demonstrate the growing international recognition of Chinese innovation in sustainable packaging machinery.

We launched our innovative Bagasse Paper Lids for your paper cups. It's a new environmental product with full of potential considering global plastic restriction under scenarios of climate change and plastic pollution. Made from non-wood natural plant-based sugarcane bagasse and bamboo material, water proof and oil proof.Far East·Geotegrity developed automatic trimming robot can be accurately equipped with SD-P21 energy-saving production equipment. The robot computer program system can be compatible with the main machine’s computer program system. This is to ensure that the function and movement of the main machine, robot and trimming machine are coordinated, the production is safe, the product quality is guaranteed and the qualification rate reaches 99%, the daily output is 120,000 pieces coffee cup lids.

Far East GeoTegrity has reached another important milestone in intelligent pulp molding technology.The project “SD-A CNC Intelligent Pulp-Molded Tableware Production Equipment and Products,” submitted by GeoTegrity Ecopack (Xiamen) Co., Ltd., received a Gold Medal at the 11th International Invention Innovation Competition in Canada, iCAN 2026.The award certificate was presented to GeoTegrity Ecopack (Xiamen) Co., Ltd. and the project contributors Su Binglong, Su Shuangquan and Su Yanhuan. The competition was held in Toronto, Canada, on August 29, 2026.

Far East GeoTegrity manufactures sugarcane bagasse tableware for wholesalers, foodservice distributors, importers, supermarket programs and sustainable packaging brands.Our product portfolio covers bagasse plates, bowls, clamshell containers, trays, takeaway boxes, molded-fiber cup lids and customized fiber packaging.What makes our manufacturing model different from a conventional trading supplier is that our group works on both sides of the process: pulp-molding equipment development and finished tableware manufacturing.That experience matters when a buyer needs more than a catalog price.Product weight, fiber formulation, mold design, forming conditions, hot pressing, stacking performance, barrier treatment and packing method all affect the final product and its landed cost.For bulk purchasing projects, our team therefore starts with the application and specification rather than simply asking, “Which item do you want?”

Bagasse tableware is molded-fiber food packaging made primarily from sugarcane bagasse—the fibrous material left after juice is extracted from sugarcane.The recovered fiber is processed into pulp and formed under controlled pressure and temperature into plates, bowls, trays, clamshell containers and other foodservice products. Depending on the product formulation and certification, bagasse tableware can provide a plant-fiber alternative to conventional single-use plastic packaging.This guide explains how bagasse tableware is manufactured, where it is used, how it compares with other food packaging materials and what buyers should check before placing a bulk order.Key Takeaways· Bagasse is a fibrous by-product of sugarcane processing.· Bagasse tableware is manufactured through pulping, forming, hot pressing and finishing.· Common products include plates, bowls, meal trays, clamshells and takeaway containers.· Performance varies according to the fiber formulation, product structure and barrier treatment.· Compostability, food-contact safety and PFAS-related claims should be supported by product-specific documentation.· Buyers should evaluate the application, food type, temperature, storage time and target market before selecting a product.

The global shift toward fiber-based food packaging is creating new opportunities for manufacturers, packaging companies and investors looking to enter the molded fiber industry.At the center of this manufacturing process is the pulp molding machine — the equipment used to convert plant fibers such as sugarcane bagasse, bamboo pulp and wood pulp into molded fiber products including plates, bowls, food containers, trays and cup lids.However, choosing a pulp molding machine is not simply a matter of comparing machine prices.Production capacity, automation level, mold design, energy consumption, product type, raw material, factory infrastructure and long-term operating costs can all affect the final return on investment.This guide explains the most important factors manufacturers should evaluate before investing in a pulp molding machine or complete pulp molding production line.

As the EU PPWR comes into force on August 12, 2026, Far East GeoTegrity delivers its SD-P22 fully automatic edge-trim-free and punch-free pulp molding machine to Europe, helping manufacturers accelerate the transition to sustainable food packaging.

The European Union is reshaping the future of packaging.With the implementation of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), every company supplying packaging to the European market must prepare for stricter sustainability requirements, increased recyclability targets, and reduced plastic waste.For food packaging manufacturers, retailers, importers, and brand owners, PPWR is more than a new regulation—it represents one of the biggest transformations the packaging industry has experienced in decades.If your products are exported to Europe, understanding PPWR is no longer optional.This guide explains everything you need to know about EU PPWR, its impact on food packaging, and how businesses can prepare for the transition.

Bangkok, Thailand – May 21, 2025 – The Far East Group and its subsidiary GeoTegrity, a leading pulp molding tableware manufacturer, proudly announce the successful licensing of their new Thailand-based facility, Far East International Environmental Protection Co., Ltd. The factory, dedicated to producing biodegradable bagasse tableware, officially received its production license from the Thailand Industrial Estate Authority on May 21, 2025, following its groundbreaking on July 8, 2024.
