Luxembourg, 18 December 2020 – Guala Closures Group, the global producer of non-refillable and aluminium beverage closures, has partnered with Oceanworks®, the largest global marketplace for sustainable materials, to develop a range of closures produced using ocean plastics.
Headquartered in California, USA, Oceanworks, is a digital marketplace that streamlines the sourcing of verified recycled material collected from coastal ecosystems where it is at significant risk of ending-up in the ocean. Oceanworks network collects millions of pounds of ocean plastic annually. Oceanworks will supply 100% recycled polymers to Guala Closures which will be used to develop closures for its wine and spirits range. This partnership extends to The Group’s worldwide market reach and its sole use of Oceanworks materials for all its closures for spirits and wine using these recycled polymers.
Guala Closures will initially use these polymers in the production of its T-bar models for spirits included in the recently launched Blossom™ range and more models will be introduced soon. The caps produced with 100% recycled Oceanworks polymers are designed following the “design to change” model of the company’s recently published eco-design guidelines.

Berlin, 17 December 2020 – This week the European Commission’s Scientific Advice Mechanism (SAM) published a report, entitled “Biodegradability of plastics in the open environment”. The report identifies applications of biodegradable polymers which contribute towards achieving a circular economy and tackle the challenge of managing the EU’s waste.
“We are pleased to see that this report clearly identifies several beneficial application areas for biodegradable plastics even though this was not its original focus”, says Hasso von Pogrell, Managing Director of European Bioplastics (EUBP). “We also welcome the call for economic incentives to promote appropriate disposal behaviour as well as the need for further research that it highlights”, he adds.
Von Pogrell further comments: “The SAM report emphasises the advantages of applications from biodegradable plastics ‘where it is challenging to remove or collect a particular plastic product or its fragments from the environment after use’. Mulch films made from conventional plastics, for example, are widely used in European agriculture. The challenge of plastic accumulation in soil can be tackled with the soil-biodegradable alternative.”
EUBP was pleased to note that the report also highlights the benefits of biodegradable plastic products “where it is difficult to separate plastic from organic material that is destined for a composting waste stream or wastewater treatment”. Packaging highly contaminated with food scraps, cannot be mechanically recycled and will be incinerated or, even worse, landfilled. By using industrial compostable packaging, this contaminated waste fraction will not get lost as it can be included in the organic recycling stream. Additionally, it has been proven in several studies that industrially compostable biowaste bags significantly increase the capture rate of biowaste. However, EUBP agrees with the study authors that “the potential benefits of biodegradable plastics will only be realised if the formulation of the product is appropriate to the receiving environment, and if any potential for the item or its fragments to escape to a receiving environment in which it biodegrades more slowly, is minimised”. It is also important to highlight the report’s statement for an effective waste management infrastructure to assure proper management of biodegradable and compostable plastics.
“Industrially compostable plastics will become increasingly relevant in this context, as the EU's objective of diverting organic waste from landfill by end of 2023 approaches”, adds the Managing Director of EUBP.
The report is an important first step in considering scientific evidence on the biodegradability of certain plastics in the open environment. It also makes clear that a successful reduction of plastic waste and achieving a circular economy, requires ongoing efforts by all parts of the value chain, also including consumers, and national and regional authorities. “If we are to realise the full potential of biodegradable plastics, the EU must put in place supportive measures to improve labelling, uphold and periodically review certification and standards, and facilitate communication on waste management. Consumers are seeking out sustainability more and more. However, they need to be helped with the challenges of delivering a circular economy through more effective waste prevention, recycling and management measures including through organic recycling. European Bioplastics stands ready to support in this endeavour”, concludes Hasso von Pogrell.
European Bioplastics represents the interests of the European bioplastics industry. Its members include companies from the entire value chain. The members produce, process and distribute plastics that are made from renewable raw materials, are biodegradable or combine both properties.

New Delhi, 17th December, 2020 – Cosmo Films Ltd., a global leader in specialty films has successfully developed a new transparent printable bi-axially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film called “TeploR” with a higher heat resistance.
The FMCG brands and the entire packaging industry are aiming to recycle waste generated from flexible packaging. BOPP films have an excellent recyclability however; most of the flexible packaging is made with different plastic materials making it difficult to recycle.
TeploR has been engineered to work as a printing layer allowing mono material structures in multi-layer laminates for various packaging applications in both food and non-food segments. The film has excellent slip properties, good machinability and has a great performance on high-speed VFFS and HFFS machines. It has good thermal stability (no shrinkage) upto 185˚C; way more when compared to conventional BOPP films (145-155˚C).TeploR will prove to be a good replacement in packaging machines where the sealing temperatures are higher.
Commenting on the same, Mr.Pankaj Poddar, CEO, Cosmo Films, said:“The TeploR film has an excellent printable surface at high converting speeds, will not shrink or form wrinkles and can be recycled easily. We have also gone ahead and patented the product in the company’s name. ”

Mondi has developed a paper-based packaging solution for Drylock Technologies' baby diapers
The EcoWicketBags are recyclable, replacing the traditional plastic packaging for diapers
CO2 footprint is significantly reduced with the innovative new products due to the use of renewable resources
18 December 2020 – Mondi, a global leader in packaging and paper, has launched a new paper EcoWicketBag for Drylock Technologies’ baby diaper ranges, bringing sustainable paper-based packaging to the hygiene market globally.
The global hygiene products manufacturer approached Mondi to create a more sustainable alternative to its existing plastic diaper packaging that would travel well, have strong shelf-appeal, and protect the product - while also using renewable resources and significantly reducing its CO2 footprint.
“We approached Mondi because of their expertise in paper packaging and their extensive knowledge of the global hygiene market. Consumers are looking for more sustainable packaging that is kinder to the planet without compromising on the integrity of the product. With the EcoWicketBag, consumers can be confident of product quality and packaging sustainability,” said Werner Van Ingelgem, R&D director at Drylock Technologies.
A key advantage of using paper-based solutions is the recyclability of paper and that consumers are more likely to know how to dispose of it correctly. The EcoWicketBag can be placed in existing paper streams, even in countries with the strictest recycling regulations, thereby supporting the circular economy. An EcoWicketBag made out of fully compostable materials is also available.
Mondi also ensured that EcoWicketBag fits with Drylock Technologies’ existing plant processes, meaning it is the first paper wicket bag range that can be filled and sealed on existing machines.
“We work closely with our clients using our customer-centric EcoSolutions approach to create packaging that is fit for purpose – using paper where possible, plastic when useful. With Drylock Technologies it was key to reduce the amount of plastic used, meet our customer’s sustainability targets and protect the products for consumers. By liaising closely and asking the right questions from the outset, we have been able to deliver on all of the above,” said Claudio Fedalto, Chief Operating Officer Paper Bags, Mondi.
