Woamy is revolutionizing the packaging industry with its innovative biofoam technology, developed from a decade of scientific research at Aalto University. This eco-friendly, cellulose-based foam mimics the strength of wood while being lightweight, biodegradable, and recyclable. By creating a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic foams, Woamy is setting a new standard for protective packaging that meets the growing demand for environmentally responsible solutions.
The company’s mission is to transform the world with sustainable innovations, empowering businesses to replace harmful plastic foams and achieve their sustainability goals. Woamy addresses the critical issue of plastic waste, as only 1% of plastic foams are recycled annually, by offering a fully circular packaging material that can be recycled alongside cardboard. Their biofoam not only reduces environmental impact but also enhances product protection and transportation efficiency.
With plans for a pilot factory by 2026 and successful collaborations with forward-thinking companies, Woamy is paving the way for a greener future. The startup’s innovative approach has garnered attention, including features in industry publications and participation in prestigious events like LUXEPACK.
