ITC Packaging has announced a new range of barrier packaging for Spanish olives and pickles manufacturing company Aceitunas Sarasa.

As part of this partnership, ITC Packaging and the Navarra-based company have worked together to enhance and modify the packaging of one of Sarasa’s ranges of olives and pickles, known as ‘Market Sarasa’.

The new Market Sarasa pack is available in a tub format. It comes in three different capacities, including 420ml, 600ml and 850ml. All have the same lid.

Italian pasta manufacturer Garofalo introduced a novel new package with a film made by GT Polifilm and Polivouga that uses certified circular polypropylene (PP) from SABIC, part of its TRUCIRCLE program to accelerate a circular plastic economy. The sustainable material is derived from advanced recycling and converted into a biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film for this application, which is the first mono-PP pasta packaging material in the market containing 30% of post-consumer recycled (PCR) content.

Cama Group has strengthened its position in the DACH region (Germany, Austria & Switzerland) with the appointment of an agent and sales manager at GUTOM GmbH & CO. KG.

Thanks to this enhanced local presence, the leading Italian packaging machine supplier will grow its user base by offering technology and capabilities that are not available from local suppliers.

The company believes that this initiative is in line with ITC’s Sustainability 2.0 vision which strives to strengthen their multi-dimensional efforts to combat climate change, enable the transition to a net zero economy, work towards ensuring water security for all, restore biodiversity through the adoption of nature-based solutions, create an effective circular economy for post-consumer packaging waste and scale up programs that support sustainable livelihoods.
