recyclable packaging

• Mondi and Thimonnier launch a new recyclable mono-material berlingot sachet for liquid soap refills
• The innovative new packaging reduces plastic usage by more than 75% compared to rigid plastic bottles
• The solution is designed to replace the current industry standard of non-recyclable plastic

The companies have created a new packaging for liquid refills that is designed so that it can be entirely emptied. The berlingot sachet is made from a recyclable mono-material, coextruded polyethylene (PE).

Coles’ Together to Zero waste ambition sees the supermarket continue to work with industry partners, suppliers, and customers to reduce waste and unnecessary plastics. 

Scoops from Coles Tropical Paradise and Coles Ultra Original and Sensitive laundry powders will be removed from April 1.

The new scoopless laundry powders will be specially marked with ‘Reducing our Impact’, with the packaging featuring a light green lid, ensuring customers can easily spot the packs. 

“We have seen with one customer using the bins vs poly boxes a staggering reduction in CO2 emissions of 78% over a year” commented Andrew Kirk, MD.

With the recent news that Oregon and Maine became the first states in the U.S. to adopt an Extended Producer Responsibility Law for packaging (meaning the states will charge packaging producers for the cost of managing packaging material waste), LiquiGlide is helping brands create sustainable packaging and reduce their carbon footprint as well.
