Nestlé reveals paper packaging redesigns - The return of plastic straws? - Guylian unveils new chocolate pack
Packaging Europe
Leading the global conversation on packaging strategy and innovation.
Welcome to this week’s edition of the Packaging Europe LinkedIn newsletter! As always, we're here to bring you a roundup of the key news and developments in the packaging industry from the past week.
Let's dive into the stories.
Nestlé has revealed paper-based packaging redesigns across its Smarties, KitKat, and Nescafé brands, among others – aiming to cut one-third of virgin plastics from its product lines and design 95% of its plastic packaging for recycling by 2025.
In a move that has sparked controversy, Capri Sun Group has called upon the European Commission to allow the re-introduction of its plastic straws to create a fully mono-material and recyclable pack.
When it comes to the concept of sustainability, consumers and industry players can have different perceptions of what the term means and how it affects them. In this edition of The Brief, we examine both industry and consumer perceptions of what sustainability is, how this can be measured, and its impact on areas such as consumer choices and companies’ sustainability targets.

SEE has launched a new range of high-barrier, printable laminates across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, designed to help food processors use less plastic in packaging, improve recyclability and reduce total packaging costs.
HIGH-PRECISION GLUING
For demanding adhesive applications.
Looking for top performance when gluing primary and secondary packaging? Only cleverly designed and high-quality equipment guarantees that the adhesive will be applied precisely at the right time, in the right amount, and at the right place. At FACHPACK in Nuremberg, Robatech presents their adhesive application system for such high demands.
First, the Vision adhesive melter is Robatech's flagship for maximum precision and process reliability. It keeps the adhesive viscosity constant and ensures a stable adhesive pressure, resulting in an even, controlled adhesive application. At the same time, the intelligent melter offers the best energy efficiency in the industry.
Second, the fully insulated Performa heated hose conveys the adhesive to the application head with as little heat loss as possible. As a result, it is more safe than conventional hoses because one cannot burn one’s fingers on it. Less heat emission also means less energy consumption.
And finally, the Volta electric jetting head applies the adhesive with pinpoint precision. High switching frequencies allow hot melt stitching, which saves a significant amount of adhesive. Needing no compressed air, Volta lives longer, is low-maintenance, and it is also fully isolated.
Additional highlights at the trade fair booth are Robatech’s proven gluing solutions for the application of silicone release liners and tear strips and the patented PerfectFold liquid creaser.
Robatech will be at FACHPACK in Nuremberg in hall 2, booth 533.
