W-Cycle is an Israeli company that manufactures SupraPulp, a patented, non-coated, and compostable food packaging material designed as a durable, omniphobic alternative to plastic for hot, wet, and greasy food applications.
W-Cycle is an Israeli food-tech company that develops and manufactures sustainable, compostable food packaging solutions. The company's core innovation is SupraPulp, a patented, non-coated, cellulose-based material designed to serve as a high-performance alternative to traditional plastic packaging. Unlike conventional compostable options, SupraPulp is omniphobic, meaning it is naturally resistant to liquids, oils, and grease without the use of chemical coatings. The material is engineered to be durable across a wide temperature range, remaining stable in both freezing conditions as low as -40°C and high-heat environments up to 200°C, while also being microwave and oven-safe.
These packaging solutions are primarily targeted at B2B markets, including food manufacturers, institutional caterers, airlines, retail, and restaurant services that require reliable, leak-proof containment for hot, wet, or greasy foods. By providing a commercially competitive and environmentally friendly substitute, W-Cycle aims to address the global accumulation of plastic waste in landfills and oceans. The company, which maintains operations in Kibbutz Gan Shmuel, Israel, supports clients through custom design, prototyping, and manufacturing services, helping businesses transition away from plastic-dependent packaging architectures to fully compostable, nature-based alternatives.
