The first food packaging made of laminated cardboard, which decomposes in soil in six months, was developed in Russia by the local OSQ company.
According to the company, laminated craft packaging, when it gets into the ground, decomposes by 100% within six months and has no analogues in Russia. For comparison, plastic food packaging begins to decompose in the ground only after 400 years.
As the company specified, the production of cardboard containers, cups and other types of packaging has been established at the company's plant in Vidnoye, Moscow Region. In the future, additional capacities will be built at the plant in Kaliningrad, while investments in the construction of will amount to 1.1 billion rubles. A team of Russian scientists was involved in the development of the technology, however the company refused to clarify the scientific organization, since the technology is currently being patented.
