Packaging Europe
Leading the global conversation on packaging strategy and innovation.
Welcome to this week’s Packaging Europe LinkedIn newsletter! As usual, we’re here to bring you an update on the most important news and developments in the packaging industry from the past week.
Let's dive into the stories.
In September, Diageo and PA Consulting teamed up?to launch?a 90% paper-based bottle for the iconic Johnnie Walker Black Label whisky brand. To find out more about the product – including how the companies are looking to bring it to commercial scale, and the claim that it could emit 47% less carbon than standard glass solutions, we spoke with the experts at PA Consulting and Diageo.
In order to meet the glass industry’s net zero goal by 2050, the European Container Glass Federation (FEVE) advocates for production facilities to adopt low-carbon energy, supported by EU financial instruments – and for customers to keep choosing and recycling glass packaging.
Aldi has announced plans to remove the plastic windows and trays from several of its savoury goods lines, a move expected to eliminate 127 tonnes of plastic packaging per year once the changes are rolled out.
Axens is commercially licensing its Rewind PET chemical recycling process for PET waste, developed in collaboration with IFPEN and JEPLAN, in an effort to achieve circularity for plastics and further accelerate the energy transition.
Following its one-year anniversary, the REDYSIGN project – which aims to develop recyclable, wood-derived packaging alternatives for fresh meat products – reports such progress as using fibre as an adhesive, testing smart solutions to signal spoilage, and applying markers for traceability.
The packaging that separates itself: Czech food manufacturer introduces self-separating K3? r100 packaging from Greiner Packaging
The Czech dairy company OLMA is the first in the Czech Republic to introduce the groundbreaking K3? r100 packaging from Greiner Packaging, thereby making a significant contribution to the circular economy.
The cardboard-plastic cup doing the work for you
K3? r100 is Greiner Packaging’s latest innovation in cardboard-plastic combinations. The cardboard separates itself from the plastic inner cup during the waste disposal process, achieving a recyclability rate of up to 98% - without relying on proper separation by the customer.
Moreover, the cup is not only sustainable and functional but also visually appealing, as the cardboard wrap can be printed on both sides and customized for maximum impact, ensuring it stands out at the point of sale.
OLMA convinced by K3? r100
These benefits convinced OLMA, with its Carte d’Or and Cavalier brands a well-known food manufacturer in the Czech Republic, to invest in self-separating K3? r100 cups for its dessert variations. This choice simplifies the recycling of plastic cups and cardboard wraps while enhancing shelf presence.
“We value Greiner Packaging as an innovative and reliable partner, and the new K3? r100 development impressed us right from the start. With our desserts, we not only rely on the best ingredients, but also on packaging that is second to none,” emphasizes Ing. Martin Krystián, CEO of OLMA.
