It is scalable through dedicated Blue Ocean Closures presses, building on a proven machine platform from Quality Tools. Short lead times, small footprint and simple installation make it even more attractive. To improve runability, quality and energy consumption, we are not feeding back clippings into the process. To reduce pre-consumer recycling in closed or open loops, we offer a proprietary BOC RESHAPE technology that optimizes cutting geometry.<\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_row themify_builder_row tb_jaa5301 tf_w\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row_inner col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tf_box tf_rel\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col-full tb_0xko302 first\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- module icon -->\n<div  class=\"module module-icon tb_dcag182    icon_horizontal tf_textc\" data-lazy=\"1\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"module-icon-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<em class=\"tf_box\"><svg  class=\"tf_fa tf-fas-globe-europe\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#tf-fas-globe-europe\"><\/use><\/svg><\/em>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<!-- \/module icon -->\n<!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_bw2n205   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n\t    <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n\t\t<h2>Together we are creating a world with less plastic waste.<\/h2>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_uc9d905   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n\t    <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n\t\t<p class=\"p1\">We believe in working together and get inspired by each other.

We use the same type of food safe strength and hydrophobicity additives that are found in other paper packaging and hygiene products. In fact the fiber content is higher than in most types of carton packaging since we do not use fillers. Cellulose fibers are strong, biobased and biodegradable and do not cause any microplastics when breaking down in nature. With our technology we can shape, integrate and exact rigid structures such as closures. For packaging structures interacting with water, we have several ways to protect the materials and the filled goods. These range from direct contact, dispersion coating, deposition and film lamination. We are constantly developing these fields together with our suppliers and partners.<\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_row themify_builder_row tb_sfap812 tf_w\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row_inner col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tf_box tf_rel\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col-full tb_2vam812 first\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- module icon -->\n<div  class=\"module module-icon tb_vbgy16    icon_horizontal tf_textc wow\" data-tf-animation=\"fadeInRight\" data-tf-animation_delay=\"1\" data-lazy=\"1\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"module-icon-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<em class=\"tf_box\"><svg  class=\"tf_fa tf-fas-quote-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#tf-fas-quote-right\"><\/use><\/svg><\/em>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<!-- \/module icon -->\n<!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_wgc4122   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n\t    <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n\t\t<p>We want to inspire others to imagine what can be possible in the future.<\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_08ix467   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n\t    <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n\t\t<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Lars Sandberg, CEO of Blue Ocean Closures<\/span><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div  data-parallax-bg=\"desktop\" data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_row themify_builder_row tb_3gjv938 tf_w\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row_inner col_align_top tb_col_count_3 tf_box tf_rel\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col3-1 tb_ybc4939 first\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- module icon -->\n<div  class=\"module module-icon tb_e50c296    icon_horizontal  wow\" data-tf-animation=\"fadeInUp\" data-tf-animation_delay=\"0.3\" data-lazy=\"1\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"module-icon-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<em class=\"tf_box\"><svg  class=\"tf_fa tf-fas-shield-alt\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#tf-fas-shield-alt\"><\/use><\/svg><\/em>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<!-- \/module icon -->\n<!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_b0hn939   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n\t    <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n\t\t<h2>Simple, robust and advanced<\/h2>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_6otx939   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n\t    <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n\t\t<p>The Blue Ocean Closures vacuum forming technology is unique.

This includes using sustainable energy and raw materials and designing the technology for cost efficiency and scalability. It also includes being open, sharing, inspiring and participating in communities strengthening the purpose.<\/p>\n<p>Our \u201cHow\u201d is built on achieving these goals. Efficient sintering of cellulose fibers in a dry state creates a good base. Scalability through focus on drop in applications combining efficient existing large scale material production with dedicated tools in well proven machinery adds to this foundation. The \u201cHow\u201d also include how we work as a team in a focused way and how we cooperate with customers and partners.

It has some very clear advantages. The process is easy to operate and fast, today down to 1,8s cycle time. It is scalable through dedicated Blue Ocean Closures presses, building on a proven machine platform from Quality Tools. Short lead times, small footprint and simple installation make it even more attractive. To improve runability, quality and energy consumption, we are not feeding back clippings into the process. To reduce pre-consumer recycling in closed or open loops, we offer a proprietary BOC RESHAPE technology that optimizes cutting geometry.<\/p>\n<em><svg aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#tf-fas-globe-europe\"><\/use><\/svg><\/em>\n<h2>Together we are creating a world with less plastic waste.<\/h2>\n<p>We believe in working together and get inspired by each other.

We use the same type of food safe strength and hydrophobicity additives that are found in other paper packaging and hygiene products. In fact the fiber content is higher than in most types of carton packaging since we do not use fillers. Cellulose fibers are strong, biobased and biodegradable and do not cause any microplastics when breaking down in nature. With our technology we can shape, integrate and exact rigid structures such as closures. For packaging structures interacting with water, we have several ways to protect the materials and the filled goods. These range from direct contact, dispersion coating, deposition and film lamination. We are constantly developing these fields together with our suppliers and partners.<\/p>\n<em><svg aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#tf-fas-quote-right\"><\/use><\/svg><\/em>\n<p>We want to inspire others to imagine what can be possible in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Lars Sandberg, CEO of Blue Ocean Closures<\/p>\n<em><svg aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#tf-fas-shield-alt\"><\/use><\/svg><\/em>\n<h2>Simple, robust and advanced<\/h2>\n<p>The Blue Ocean Closures vacuum forming technology is unique.

This allows for using sturdy rigid tools, still achieving advanced shapes such as strait walls and undercuts. The high pressure promotes excellent surface quality and allows for detailed decorations and surface structures.<\/p>\n<em><svg aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#tf-fas-handshake\"><\/use><\/svg><\/em>\n<h2>What our partners say<\/h2>\n<p>To move forward with our breakthrough technology, we are proudly working in close partnership with some of the world\u2019s most renowned brands in different consumer segments. \u00a0Our partners are brand owners who act as pioneers, supports our innovative work and have made real commitments to increase sustainability.<\/p>\n<em><svg aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#tf-fas-quote-right\"><\/use><\/svg><\/em>\n<p>We know that collaboration across the whole value chain sits at the heart of long-term progress and true environmental, economic, and social impact.
