The packaging industry is in the midst of a transformation. National and international regulations are in transition, as are the guidelines from various retailers. At the same time, internal sustainability targets must be fulfilled, Scope 3 emissions reduced, and new packaging formats implemented to meet recycling goals. Consumers are also becoming increasingly sensitive to both price and sustainability. We can help.
Our wide portfolio of flexible packaging solutions, including PE-, PP- and paper-based options, features options designed for recycling. Many are already in use with manufacturers across Europe. We support our customers in achieving mandatory under the new Europe-wide regulation, which will demand that all packaging is recyclable from 2030 onwards.
By implementing our MonoFlowre P-type, a solution designed for recycling, a customer saved 70% of plastic and reduced their truckloads by an impressive 93% compared to their previous rigid solution.
Our PaperTwisterre was among the first paper-based twist packaging CEPI-certfied recyclable. It runs on the fastest twist machines on the market, packing candy at 2,300 pieces per minute!
Our MonoFlowre E-type flowpack is designed for recycling and proven to protect. It keeps productivity high while protecting the delicious aroma of coffee beans.
It’s reassuring to have options, but it’s key to know which one to choose. Staying up to date with legislation is essential, and we constantly monitor the latest changes to help our customers. The main drivers for action in 2025 and beyond are the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), Eco-modulated EPR (extended producer responsibility), and SUPD fees.
As a member of different task forces and advocacy groups, we gain first-hand knowledge to guide our customers through the 370+ pages of the PPWR and the 70+ delegated acts that will follow. We have elaborated on a few consequences of the PPWR here.
The right packaging can lead to significant savings on extended producer responsibility (EPR) or single-use plastic product (SUP) fees. We monitor the development of these fees across Europe and partner with our customers to make fact-based decisions.
Since 2019, we have annually issued a Group CSR Report to publish our ESG efforts and progress.
