Mondi Group, a global leader in sustainable packaging and paper, is proud to announce a three-year extension to its partnership with the UN World Food Programme (WFP), the world’s largest humanitarian organisation providing food assistance to those recovering from conflict, disasters and the impact of climate change.
Mondi work closely with customers to help them achieve their sustainability goals and overcome challenges presented by packaging changes.
This was the case when they partnered with Paulig, a long-time Mondi customer, to change the company’s coffee packaging – and create one of the world’s first mono-material structures suitable for vacuum-packed coffee.
Flexible packaging dominates India’s plastic waste problem, accounting for 73% of all plastic packaging across the food, personal care, and homecare sectors. However, its non-recyclable nature poses significant challenges. Huhtamaki India took a pivotal step by hosting the second edition of Think Circle at the Embassy of Finland in New Delhi, unveiling groundbreaking solutions for a circular economy.
The company is offering 250ml ASSP bottles in the Indian state of Odisha.
The initiative, led by Coca-Cola's bottling partner Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages, is part of the company's broader commitment to environmental responsibility and reducing its carbon footprint.
The new ASSP bottles are designed to be light, which contributes to a 36% reduction in emissions compared to traditional virgin PET packaging.
Bryt Energy, part of the Statkraft group, who are a leading international hydropower company and Europe’s largest generator of renewable energy, supplies British businesses with zero carbon, 100% renewable electricity*, sourced solely from solar, wind and hydro power.
A team of scientistsat the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) developed PBAT-based biodegradable packaging, revolutionising the market with eco-friendly alternatives that decompose within three months, leaving no harmful residue. Dr.K Veerabrahmam, Scientist, DRDO and his team at Advanced Systems Laboratory ofDRDO at Hyderabad developed biodegradable packaging products using PBAT, a biodegradable polymer derived from petroleum products or plant oils.
Active packaging increases the shelf life of food products. We learnt that in part I of this series of blogs (link previous blog here). We talked about Scavengers, compounds that absorb ethylene, moisture and oxygen released by food within the food packaging that deteriorates the food faster if not controlled.
In this blog, we will talk about Emitters. Emitters work in ways opposite to the functioning of scavengers; they diffuse from the packaging to lessen negative effects of reactions from microbial growth, oxidation and ripening.
Steel packaging, from food cans to aerosol containers, has long been prized for its strength, durability, and infinite recyclability. However, traditional steelmaking is one of the most carbon-intensive industrial processes. The packaging industry is now pioneering innovative approaches to make steel production more sustainable.
Frugalpac, a leader in sustainable packaging, unveiled its global 'Frugal Bottle Fill Good Collective' at Vin Expo Paris, supporting drinks brands in cutting bottle carbon emissions by 84%. The collective now includes 15 fillers across 12 countries, offering co-packing services for the revolutionary paper Frugal Bottle.
The Center aims to attract industry investment, boost Clemson FRESH’s competitiveness for federal grants and cultivate talent in sustainable packaging design to meet growing industry needs. This investment aligns with industry estimates projecting a 17 percent annual growth in the compostable packaging market.
