Gerresheimer, innovative system and solution provider and global partner for the pharma, biotech, and cosmetics industry and Rezemo, an innovative start-up for bio-based materials, are announcing today the establishment of a partnership.

The popular French sugar brand, Daddy Sugar, has switched from its previous plastic container to a fully recyclable Sonoco cardboard container with a PP sprinkler.

Aiming to reduce its packaging's carbon footprint, Cristalco redesigned its 500g Daddy Sugar icing sugar sprinkler container. The original design featured a polyethylene (PEHD) body, an oriented polystyrene (OPS) sleeve, and a polypropylene (PP) lid, making it a prime candidate for an eco-friendly revamp.

“Typically, the 120th day of the year means it's time to crack a 120 Minute IPA and raise a glass to another year’s release of this beautiful beer,” said Sam Calagione, Dogfish Head Founder & Brewer. “This year, I get to do that AND commemorate the official launch of our all-new beer packaging artwork, which is finally rolling out to shelves nationwide. It’s been a long, but rewarding journey to get to this new look, so raising a fresh 120 Minute IPA sounds like the perfect celebration to me!”

We are thrilled to unveil a pivotal technical partnership with IMD Ltd. - Headquarters - Switzerland, Switzerland. This collaboration marks a significant leap forward in our pursuit of achieving a genuine 100% inline quality inspection, made possible by integrating cutting-edge Camera Inspection Systems. 📷🔍

The move to replace traditional plastic based flexible film with VektroPack’s High Barrier Paper Flex product aligns with VektroPack’s commitment to sustainability, and will play a big part in helping brands meet APCO’s 2025 national packaging targets, the company says. The shift to paper-based film will remove plastic from the recycling stream, and facilitate kerbside recycling of the material by end users. 

The project took four years of innovation, in collaboration with Footprint, MCC and Pagès Group.
