Years of experience
Kayma Effect (formerly W-Cycle) is a deep-tech innovator at the intersection of material science and environmental responsibility. We specialize in high-performance eco-friendly formulas and consulting for the food packaging industry, designed to replace single-use plastics without compromising on industrial performance.
Our proprietary methodology is a 4-step process bridging advanced chemistry and cellulose with sustainable manufacturing. By optimizing 12+ critical variables, we engineer patented, PFAS-free SupraPulp™ formulas to harmonize perfectly with your specific fiber substrate. This data-driven approach delivers a high-performance, plastic-free solution that exceeds the strictest global food safety standards.
We begin by identifying the packaging’s specific functional requirements, including thermal stability and barrier performance benchmarks. This ensures our compostable packaging solutions are perfectly aligned with your end-use applications and standards.
Our lab conducts a deep-dive analysis into the manufacturer’s specific cellulose fiber characteristics and pulp properties. By understanding the unique strengths of your raw materials, we determine the optimal path for integrating our sustainable material science.
We apply our patented SupraPulp™ formulas to your fiber, testing and refining the blend until achieving peak performance. This iterative R&D phase ensures a PFAS-free, plastic-free result that meets rigorous oil and water resistance requirements.
The final stage bridges the gap between lab innovation and high-volume production at the manufacturer’s facility. We provide on-site technical support to optimize the molded fiber process or other manufacturing processes, ensuring a seamless, scalable transition to eco-friendly manufacturing.
Also known as SP-Ultima, is a patented, PFAS-free technology, engineered for extreme thermal resistance in fiber-based packaging.
SP-Zero is a high-performance, non-coated barrier solution engineered to meet the strictest global regulatory standards in foodservice.
SupraPulp™, also known as SP-1.5, is an optimized, PFAS-free formulation engineered for superior water resistance.
