The ScanStar Award has been awarded to innovative companies in packaging production in the Nordic region since 1969. Metsä Group's Muoto food packaging is made from Nordic wood fibre from responsibly managed forests, without fluorinated chemicals.
Metsä Group’s Muoto has received the 2025 ScanStar Award from the Scandinavian Packaging Association (SPA) for its innovative range of wood fibre-based food packaging. The jury highlighted the product’s strengths from economic, technological, and environmental viewpoints among 44 submissions across Nordic region. Central to the decision were Muoto’s modular and future-proof design, and its positive contributions to sustainability. Additionally, considerations such as graphic design, ease of use, performance across the supply chain, transport and handling efficiency, material savings, and economic benefits were all taken into account.
Muoto Twin is a uncoated food-safe fibrous product concept designed for both serving and take-away. The multi-layered structure manufactured by 3D-fibre technology enables the combination of lightweight design with exceptional sturdiness. Its smart, modular 2-in-1 design allows two identical parts to interlock—simply flip and rotate one to create a secure lid for the other, making it ideal for convenient, take-away packaging. The material is produced with sufficient water and grease resistance for food service and takeaway use, without harmful fluorinated compounds such as PFAS. The wood raw material comes from responsibly grown certified forests, and the supply chain is fully transparent and traceable.
“The Muoto Twin Uncoated Fibre series is the result of extensive development work over the past five years. In our 3D fibre product project, we are developing several key areas: new, smooth-cast fibre technology in collaboration with our partner Valmet, unique multi-layer material structure based on sustainably grown fresh wood fibre and free from plastic, OBA and PFAS, as well as a smartly designed modular product portfolio in collaboration with Pentagon Design. We have produced an innovative takeaway packaging and serving solution that is resource-efficient, responsible and recyclable. Being awarded the ScanStar Award is a fantastic recognition for our team and our partners,” says Product Manager Tarja Heikkilä.
