Introducing FlowForm™
Discover the proprietary technology that sets Kanbol apart.
Revolutionizing the Packaging Industry
FlowForm™ is not just another pulping process; it's a groundbreaking technology that redefines what sustainable packaging can be.
Developed in-house at Kanbol, FlowForm™ is specifically calibrated for corn stover, making it more efficient, less wasteful, and results in a lower carbon footprint.
A partnership with Kanbol will benefit your business’ Scope 3 Emissions.
A New Approach to an Age-Old Process
Why FlowForm?
While there have been some modern innovations in pulping technologies, they are essentially just adaptations of conventional wood pulping.
We realized that applying wood pulp technology to the pulping of corn plants, was an overcharged application of energy. I mean, think about trying to cook down a tree versus a fibrous plant?
FlowForm™ is plant pulping at its essence, a game-changer.
How FlowForm Works
The Craft Behind the Sustainability
We take corn stover— the leaves, stalks, and shucks left over after the corn harvest— and subject it to a carefully calibrated cooking process.
This breaks down the plant fibers, which are then molded into our signature Kanbol containers.
Comparing FlowForm™ to Traditional Methods
Traditional pulping methods rely heavily on chemicals and are tailored for wood, not agricultural waste. This often results in a less efficient process with a higher environmental toll.
Unlike traditional methods that adopt wood pulping techniques, FlowForm is designed specifically for corn stover which takes much less energy to convert to durable containers. So this uses few resources than virtually all other packaging approaches.
The Benefits of FlowForm™
With a focus on environmental responsibility and local sourcing, FlowForm™ offers a trifecta of benefits that set it apart:
-
Minimal reliance on harmful chemicals.
-
A more efficient process means less energy consumption.
-
Directly sourcing corn stover from US farmers.
