Zume - Case Studies

The document discusses several companies that Zume is working with to develop sustainable fiber-based alternatives to plastic products. These include a large protein company seeking an alternative to styrofoam meat trays, a food and beverage company needing plastic-free scoops, a beer company wanting to replace plastic can bundles, an optical lens manufacturer seeking an alternative to multiple plastic trays, and a large cloud kitchen in India looking to replace leaky plastic containers. Zume is designing and prototyping molded fiber solutions for these customers using rapid 3D printing and working towards commercial partnerships and mass production.
