Wood solutions Produced in Finland using wood cellulose, Woodly is a part renewable polymer said to display characteris- tics similar to conventional fossil plastics while being both carbon neutral and recyclable. The material, which is 40-60% bio-based depend- ing on the grade, was selected recently by several entertainment venues for production of reusable drinking glasses as part of a programme to promote sustainability in the leisure and tourism industry. “With these reusable
glasses, we’re not only reducing our environmental footprint but also providing our customers with a greener option that contrib- utes to a more sustainable nightlife culture,” said Kimmo Sirviö, chairman of SKA-Ravintolat, a nightclub involved in the scheme. Woodly currently offers
two product lines. The 100 series grades are said to be suitable for both blown film and cast film extrusion. Films are clear and transpar- ent and can be thermofor- med. The 200 series are developed for injection moulding and also offer transparency and clarity. Woodly materials are said to be suitable for food contact
