“Erewhon has celebrated the amazing benefits of naturally grown foods and the importance of preserving the earth for more than 50 years and continues to lead the way in conscious consumption today,” says Vito Antoci, executive vice president of Erewhon Markets. “When we were introduced to Cove, we were incredibly excited to be part of this innovative and potentially world-changing moment for CPG—the world’s first fully biodegradable water bottle is something we are very proud to be launching at Erewhon.”

Denmark’s Rema 1000 has introduced its own-brand dishwasher cleaner in a new dark green packaging made from recycled fishing nets.

The retailer has teamed up with the Danish company Plastix for the technology required for the packaging material.

Plastix collects and recycles plastics from the fishing industry, which would otherwise end up in the landfill.

EcoAllene® is the result of years of study and research. It is the newest plastic material from the recycling of polylaminate food cartons (the most common of which is known as Tetra Pak). Supporting the need to reduce the economic and environmental costs deriving from the disposal of the two materials (PoAl), residues of the process of separation of cellulose fibers.

In the light of Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), Shelf Ready Packaging (SRP) is one of the packaging types that can collect credits on many touch points along the supply chain. To ensure the full potential is unlocked by Mondi designs, we are in close cooperation with retailers and producers alike. Studies have furthermore shown that 76% of purchase decisions are made by shoppers in the store and are thus influenced by visual factors. SRP constitutes an important marketing opportunity.

A secure supply chain and integrity of drug packaging are important aspects for pharmaceutical manufacturers. Regulations such as the EU Falsified Medicines Directive contribute to supply chain security but address only secondary packaging. By contrast, primary containers like prefilled syringes require more specific solutions for tamper evidence and first-opening indication. Due to its integrated plastic trap, the Needle-Trap needle protection label poses special challenges to a first-opening indication feature.

Tyvek Cargo Covers are in a class of their own, providing proven protection against temperature excursions, physical hazards, harmful gasses and vapors, condensation damage, biological threats, and tampering.

These 4GV packing systems have been authorized by the Department of Transportation to ship most hazardous materials, in a wide variety of primary containers, without hazard labels.

MERXIN MRX003 capsule dry powder inhaler is used for pulmonary delivery and in particular for the treatment of chronic, obstructive pulmonary diseas- es (COPD) and asthma.

The cor- rect interplay of inhaler and formulation plays a decisive role in the success of the treatment.The first product target for MRX003 was a generic version of an API. Because of the nature of the generic market, it was of essential to achieve the shortest possible time to launch.
