What EcoXpac does
EcoXpac is a privately held Danish packaging company headquartered in Slangerup, Denmark, founded in 2005 and operating with 11-50 employees. Per aggregated source data attributing operations to the legal entity 'The Paper Bottle Company' (DBA Paboco), the company develops sustainable paper-based packaging solutions designed for recyclability through standard paper waste streams, targeting consumer goods brands seeking alternatives to conventional plastic packaging.
The company's core technology centers on a paper bottle manufactured from FSC-certified wood fibers, featuring an integrated barrier for product protection and a paper threaded neck. Production relies on a proprietary moulding technology that enables complex bottle shapes and surface printing for brand differentiation. The company reports having moved into full-scale production, indicating commercial manufacturing capability rather than pilot or development-stage operations.
EcoXpac pursues an enterprise field sales go-to-market, engaging directly with major consumer goods brands and working through a 'founding community' of strategic partners described as essential to commercializing the technology. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, consistent with custom B2B contract manufacturing. Leadership comprises CEO Martin Grosen Petersen and founder Jesper Serve, with disclosed funding history including a 2016 investment from BillerudKorsnäs Venture and a 2014 EISMEA grant. Note: The firmographic identity (EcoXpac, ecoxpac.dk, Slangerup) and the substantive business data (Paboco/The Paper Bottle Company) show some divergence in the source material; this description treats the aggregated packaging business data as describing the company's operations.

EcoXpac competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- ALPLA Group: ALPLA is a major global plastic packaging manufacturer that has been actively diversifying into recycled and bio-based packaging. It competes indirectly with EcoXpac by serving the same consumer goods brand customers and is investing in its own sustainable bottle platforms.
- Huhtamaki: Huhtamaki is a global food and consumer packaging incumbent with a major fibre-based packaging division. It offers moulded fiber egg cartons, takeaway containers, and paperboard packaging that compete directly for sustainability-driven brand customers.
- Tetra Pak: Tetra Pak is a global broad incumbent in paper-based carton and packaging, supplying liquid food and beverage companies. It is comparable as an established fibre-based packaging incumbent whose customers and product categories (beverages, liquid food) overlap heavily with EcoXpac's target market.
- Smurfit Kappa: Smurfit Kappa is one of the world's largest paper-based packaging manufacturers, serving CPG and industrial customers with corrugated, solid board, and moulded fiber solutions. It is a broad incumbent that competes for the same fibre-packaging share and has been developing paper-based bottle initiatives of its own.
- Sealed Air: Sealed Air is a global packaging incumbent with sustainable and protective packaging portfolios serving food, beverage, and e-commerce. While its core is plastic protective packaging, it competes for sustainability-driven packaging spend and offers adjacent moulded fiber and paper-based protective solutions.
Direct peers
- Sulapac: Sulapac is a Finnish material innovation company producing bio-based, microplastic-free moulded packaging for cosmetics and consumer goods. It is a direct peer because it competes for the same sustainable primary-packaging slot with a moulded, wood/biomass-based material architecture.
- Billerud (formerly BillerudKorsnäs): Billerud is a Swedish paper and packaging company that has been a venture investor and likely strategic/founding-community partner of EcoXpac/Paboco. It supplies paper-based packaging materials and is directly involved in developing sustainable paper bottle and packaging solutions, making it the most material direct peer and partner in the value chain.
Emerging players
- Ecovative Design: Ecovative is an emerging bio-based materials company producing mycelium (mushroom-based) packaging as a replacement for plastics and foams. It is comparable as a small, sustainability-led packaging innovator targeting the same plastic-replacement, moulded-bio-material proposition for consumer brands.
- Notpla: Notpla is a UK-based sustainable packaging company making seaweed-based films and coatings for food, beverage, and consumer packaging. It is an emerging competitor in the alternative-material primary-packaging space with overlapping customer segments in food service and CPG.
- Loliware: Loliware is a US-based emerging player developing seaweed-based single-use cups and straws as plastic replacements in food service. It is comparable as a small, brand-led sustainable packaging innovator targeting the same plastic-replacement narrative, though in foodservice rather than bottled CPG.
