The FRENVI Production

Our production know-how is the heart of FRENVI – a combination of material and process knowledge based on the pillars of our research, technology and quality standards. “Developing new greentech products in the laboratory is one thing – implementing the industrial scaling of these products is another.”

Over several years, FRENVI’s engineers brought their experience with injection molding and fiber molding technologies into the new context: a climate-friendly production approach in line with the “Circular Bioeconomy”.

CTC3DF Procedure

The result was “Continuous Thermo Compression 3D Forming” (CTC3DF), which initially transformed primary materials into environmentally friendly products, such as EATlery. We then came up with the idea of upcycling secondary materials using CTC3DF – currently the focus of our research activities.

The goal:

High scalability and lowest production costs for a bio-based circular economy.

“Our unique selling point is that we can also directly process highly moist residual materials, which with other processes would first have to be dried down with a correspondingly high energy expenditure.”

The beneficial side effects :

Low carbon footprint
Excellent environmental performance
Conservation of resources

Industrial Scaling & Production Facilities

In the Indian metropolis of Bangalore, we have already set up our first CTC3DF production facility during the Covid pandemic and put it into operation in 2022.

With the EATlery® product range, FRENVI currently produces the world’s broadest product portfolio of edible cutlery solutions as a zero-waste alternative to disposable plastic cutlery. Cups, plates and bowls are also technically possible in lower 9-digit production volumes per year.

FRENVI’s second production facility with a fully automated CTC3DF production line will be built in Germany by July 2025, more precisely in Mannheim. From 2025 onwards, the European market will then be supplied primarily with bio-based products, both edible and naturally compostable. The annual capacity of German production will be above a mid-9-digit volume!

Research

Through intensive research over a period of more than 4 years, FRENVI has developed a mass production process that has been patented in several regions.

technology

The production technology focuses on state-of-the-art automation and robotics technologies that make the production process resource efficient.

Quality

We produce our EATlery® products under the strictest hygiene and safety conditions and in compliance with one of the highest food standards FSSC 22000, FSSAI, FDA, and IFS.

Certifications

The production facilities were designed and approved in accordance with the “Global Food Safety Standards” FSSC 22,000, supplemented by HACCP and FDA certifications. In addition, IFS certification is to be implemented soon.

The internationally recognized quality standards and certifications guarantee that the products manufactured in our company meet the highest quality requirements – even for contract work from the baking industry.

CEO Phanindra Gopala Krishna

If you have a promising fiber material or an environmentally friendly product idea and are looking for an industrial partner who can scale this product, then we look forward to receiving a short message.
