“UPM's papers provide a perfect foundation for our water-based barrier and heat seal coatings. Working closely with them for many years has allowed our combined team to increase the performance threshold of fiber-based substrates while maintaining recyclability. These new solutions will allow the market to accelerate its transition to more sustainable packaging.”

—Thierry Van Migem, Sales Director, EMEA, Michelman

Pesticides are known for their toxicity and potential harm to human health if not handled carefully. Conventional packaging often leaves behind residues that contribute to environmental pollution, while improper disposal can pose additional risks. POLYVA's water-soluble packaging offers a practical approach to mitigate these issues by minimizing direct contact between the user and the pesticide and reducing packaging waste.

Antalis Launches greenCONSULT: A Simple Solution for Greener Packaging and Lower Carbon Footprints

As the demand for eco-friendly packaging grows, businesses face increasing pressure from legislation, corporate responsibility commitments, and environmentally conscious consumers. With so much at stake, it can be difficult for companies to determine whether their packaging is truly sustainable—and to find ways of further reducing their environmental impact. That’s where Antalis steps in with their innovative greenCONSULT service.

Under the MoU, SK geo centric and YoulChon Chemical will utilize their accumulated experience and technological expertise in plastic packaging manufacturing to develop high-performance soft packaging materials made from a single material

Conventionally, films and sheet-type packaging materials, commonly referred to as vinyl, are layered with multiple materials to prevent product deterioration caused by changes in temperature and humidity, making them virtually impossible to recycle.

Made entirely of recyclable plastic (mono-material polypropylene: PP) instead of its former non-recyclable pouch made from laminated layers of aluminium, PE and PET, the pouch has a lower carbon footprint than any other common beverage packaging.

Compared to its current pouch, which already weighs only a fifth of any comparable PET bottle, Capri Sun said it will reduce CO2 emissions by a further 25 per cent.

The innovation is part of Capri Sun’s ambition to transition its entire drinks range to fully recyclable packaging.

Bambrew, a clean-tech startup in the sustainable packaging space, has announced the raising of INR 60 crore in equity and debt in a Series A led by Blume Ventures.

Blue Ashva Capital, Mumbai Angels, Indus Capital, along with angels Sreevathsa (Servify), Mandeep (Cashify), and RK Narayan (President at Horizon Industrial Parks), also participated in the round.

Bambrew raised USD 2.35 million in a pre-Series A round led by Blue Ashva Capital and Supack Industries in January 2022.

Burgopak designed an easily portable pack, so customers can always have it with them. The tablets, encased in a blister pack, are within a wallet-friendly sleeve.

Milky was founded by Khai Pham, who wanted to enjoy his favorite Baskin Robins ice cream without having to worry about carrying around a bulky packet of tablets or bottle of lactase supplement.

Together Burgopak and Milky landed on the ‘cabrio’ pack as a great fit coupled with a simple mailer. It has a compact footprint and fun opening experience that makes you smile.
