To help carbonated soft drink (CSD) packaging producers embrace material circularity, Sidel has launched StarLITE®R – a 100% rPET bottle.  Sidel’s signature StarLITE® family is evolving to address the challenges associated with working with recycled content.

StarLITE®R allows CSD producers to switch to rPET bottle production with ease and efficiency, while significantly reducing the impact on product quality or packaging integrity.

Oberschleissheim, September 27, 2023 – The newly developed Freeze-Light-Protect syringe label from Schreiner MediPharm is suitable for deep-freeze applications at temperatures far below zero and at the same time offers individual light protection. Consequently, it is particularly well-suited for use with sensitive mRNA-based substances as well as for cell and gene therapies. Schreiner MediPharm is going to present this innovative label for the first time at this year’s PDA Universe of Pre-Filled Syringes and Injection Devices in Gothenburg from October 17 to 18.

A stellar line-up of speakers for the upcoming AIPIA World Congress is taking shape. These already include leading global on-line retailer Amazon and major brands such as AB InBev and Unilever.

To meet the increasing demand for packaging solutions for sterile goods, SÜDPACK Medica AG is investing in the expansion of its site in the Orne
region of France. At the groundbreaking ceremony for the plant in Coulmer on September 19, the company will lay an important foundation stone for the further consolidation of its status as a leading producer of pouch-making material under ISO 7 clean room conditions.

 In a unique value chain collaboration, Siegwerk, ExxonMobil, Henkel, Kraus Folie, and Windmöller & Hölscher created a recyclable stand up mono-material PE pouch. This innovation won the Gold award in the sustainability category of the German Packaging Awards on 13 September 2023. The awards are described as being dedicated to the “who’s who of the best ideas.”

Siegwerk supported the project as strategic partner from 2020 to 2023. Together with other partners great achievement were made during this time in Pasuruan, East Java, Indonesia: more than 130.000 people have received access to waste management, more than 120 permanent jobs were created and more than 5000 metric tonnes of waste were collected. The project has been further expanded with a new material recovery facility in Banyuwangi.
