In addition to the change in material, Bebo has also worked on the further lightweighting of the trays. This has delivered valuable additional material savings while still ensuring that the trays retain the durability, reliability and functionality that provide effective product protection throughout the supply chain and ease of use for the consumer at home.

The new, coextruded material includes a top and bottom web, with an internal barrier layer that comprises less than 5 percent of the entire structure, meaning it qualifies as a mono-material construction and is fully recyclable in existing waste streams.

Led by OINDP experts from Next Breath and Nanopharm, both Aptar Pharma companies, this webinar will examine the analytical methods and regulatory frameworks associated with ensuring and establishing bioequivalence. It will question which analytical methods are most relevant to OINDP in vitro bioequivalence studies, as well as explore what supporting evidence can be generated to aid formulation optimization, therefore helping to expedite successful product development and regulatory submission.

The project involves the application of unique, secure and traceable identities in the form of codes to the brand. By creating a fully connected supply chain from production to consumption, the solution supports confidence in the brand by eliminating concerns about counterfeiting as well as enabling FrieslandCampina to engage consumers directly, says the company.

In order to meet the demand from the market for alternative packaging materials, the two companies LEIPA Georg Leinfelder GmbH and Koehler Paper Group have developed in conjunction with MULTIVAC a cardboard composite, which can be used for packing fresh food such as meat for example. This innovative solution based on paper fibre packaging material will be presented at IFFA on the MULTIVAC stand and run on a compact thermoforming packaging machine.

The containers are produced by RPC Astrapak Plastop to strict healthcare standards. The 100% polypropylene (PP) construction provides a light weight yet robust pack that is impact resistant and long-lasting to ensure maximum product protection. An optional liner in the closure delivers additional protection against degradation during transport, while for enhanced consumer safety the screw-on closure incorporates a tamper-evident sealing band.

The NOREC® Recycling Process for post-industrial and post-consumer packaging waste produces high-class NOREC® Recycling Material (part of RPC’s SUSTANE™ family) that is suitable for reuse in consumer and other types of packaging. Bags can be produced with up to 80% recycled content and are themselves fully recyclable, making them suitable for closed loop systems and delivering significant reductions in CO2 emissions.

This morning, Carrefour formalised its commitment to reducing plastic pollution at the Ministry for the Ecological Transition, by signing the national pact for phasing out plastic packaging by 2025.
