In 2015, Valio was the first company in the world to start using fully plant-based cartons. Now Valio has achieved its lofty goal: all of its gable top milk, sour milk, cream and yoghurt cartons sold in Finland and all yoghurt cartons sold in Sweden are fully plant-based.

This is roughly 250 million cartons every year. CO2 emissions, compared to traditional materials, are reduced by 3,140 tonnes every year. That is enough to drive the trip from Helsinki to Arctic Circle and back over 10,000 times.

In Brazil, leading dairy brand Letti is the first to adopt transparent one-liter PET bottles for its Lettico A2 fermented milk products. These custom containers, made exclusively for Letti by Amcor, replace the traditional white, opaque high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles that have dominated the market.

“We have worked with Letti to develop a transparent package with high impact to showcase the quality of the milk,” said Daniel Figueiredo, commercial director for Amcor’s Latin America dairy segment. “The PET bottle responds to consumers’ desire for freshness.”

Mumbai, 2019

ProPak India 2019 has new exhibition dates. The new dates are 22-24 October, 2019 instead of 21-23 October in Mumbai, India.

 

The change is the result of the recent development of Maharashtra and Haryana State Elections being declared on 21 October 2019, which presumably will be a public holiday. We foresee an inconvenience to the exhibitors and visitors from Maharashtra & Haryana as they have to cast their votes and the same may also affect the expected visitor turnout on Day 1.
