FMCG Packaging

After winning a prestigious sustainability award at PACK EXPO International last month for this circular solution, Berry Global Group, Inc.(NYSE: BERY) is the first plastic packaging manufacturer in Europe to supply The Coca-Cola Company with a lightweight, tethered closure for its carbonated soft drinks in PE

Amcor, a global leader in developing and producing responsible packaging solutions, has proudly supported Mondelēz International’s world-first transition for the iconic Aussie chocolate brand to 30 percent food-grade recycled packaging as the first chocolate blocks hit supermarket shelves.

Amcor is locally producing the new packaging across the Cadbury Dairy Milk, Caramilk, and Old Gold family blocks.

Recycled packaging contributes significantly to greater resource efficiency and waste avoidance: All contained products that reach the user undamaged do not have to be produced and transported again. Precisely fitting protective packaging made of plastic accomplishes this task like hardly any other material and this with low weight and optimized reusability. 

Recycling saves resources

Designed for Ricola, world’s first tinplate can made from CO2-reduced bluemint® Steel wins Gold in Sustainability, and Delegates Choice Award.

The rare genetic light disorder means that when skin comes into contact with the visible, coloured parts of sunlight, it causes neuropathic pain and triggers burns.

In patients, when exposed to sunlight, a precursor of the red blood pigment, protoporphyrin, is deposited in blood vessels. 

Energy from visible light is absorbed and triggers a chemical reaction, which the person affected perceives as severe pain and which appears as burns on the skin. 

The Austrian family company Almdudler has decided to use gender-inclusive language, marked in German by using a star to include feminine and masculine versions of nouns, in their packaging design. It is one of the first in the German-Austrian beverage market to do so. Almdudler*in is now printed on 200,000 of the 0.35L recyclable bottles with their distinctive shape to create the limited diversity edition. The herbal lemonade manufacturer has thus changed their classic brand identity after over 60 years and is creating a stir.

Linhardt is also currently investing around 4.5 million euros in the expansion of extrusion and printing technology at the Hambrücken location, just under 30 kilometers north of Karlsruhe . A new system is expected to go into operation in April 2021, with which the company will then increase its HD printing capacity from 55 million to 120 million units per year. HD-Print is a high-resolution offset printing process for tubes specially developed by Linhardt, which enables smooth gradients and sharp, clean print quality.

Personal care products like shampoo come in liquid form, primarily for convenience. Rather than expect a consumer to spend a few moments lathering up a dry or solid cleanser, manufacturers offer shampoo or soap in liquid form.
