South West Nissan has partnered up with a tea company to create its own blend of tea, to celebrate National Tea Day.

The blend, created by Kingdom Tea Brokers and Tea Packaging Specialists, is available for customers to enjoy across the group’s dealers in Wellington, Barnstaple, Exeter and Sidmouth.

The tea is organic and packaged at Chelston Business Park – the same site where the Wellington dealership is located.

The shift toward sustainable packaging in the health and nutrition industry is gaining serious momentum, and German start-up Vetain GmbH is proving to be a front-runner in this transformation. The company, known for its vegan protein powders and supplements, has partnered with global packaging leader Sonoco to introduce a more eco-friendly solution: the GreenCan® with a paper-end, a recyclable paper-based can made with at least 96% paper content.

Graphic Packaging International has once again pushed the boundaries of sustainable packaging with the launch of PaperSeal® Pressed, a remarkable addition to its award-winning PaperSeal® tray portfolio. This innovation not only enhances performance for modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) applications but also makes eco-friendly packaging more accessible in high-volume, price-sensitive markets like fresh meat and poultry.

Collaborative Innovation for the Future of Packaging
LG Chem, a global leader in chemical solutions, and Reifenhäuser, a pioneer in extrusion technology, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to accelerate the development of Machine Direction Oriented Polyethylene (MDO-PE) films. This strategic partnership aims to deliver cost-effective, recyclable solutions for flexible packaging—offering sustainability without compromising performance.

In a forward-thinking move that blends sustainability with consumer-centric design, ScottsMiracle-Gro and ProAmpac have introduced a groundbreaking packaging innovation for Ortho Home Defense Max. The two industry leaders have collaborated to develop a spouted pouch that redefines how pest control products are delivered offering a flexible, efficient, and eco-conscious alternative to traditional rigid containers.

A global leader in developing and producing responsible packaging solutions, is supplying its Secure Flip 26mm tamper evident sports cap to enhance the recyclability of a popular range of children’s drinks in Austria.

First launched in 2003 and developed specifically for children, RAUCH Yippy offers a thirst-quenching drink in a variety of flavours, enhanced with calcium and vitamins and including no preservatives. Key to the ongoing popularity of the brand has been its child-friendly packaging, comprising a colorful PET bottle in a range of shades with an accompanying sports cap.

“Sustainability is at the heart of our business and this recognition highlights our continued commitment to embedding sustainability principles into every aspect of our operations.”
