US-based apparel brand APIECE APART has announced that it will only use fully compostable packaging developed by Israeli manufacturer TIPA.

The brand will continue to ship all its products in TIPA’s fully compostable polybags as it expands operations to meet the growing demand.

Since 2020, Apiece Apart has been using TIPA’s polybags to package goods at factories to ship to its warehouses, e-commerce customers and retail stores.

The transition has eliminated 133,825 conventional plastic polybags to date.

In a bid to educate consumers about its products, KETTLE®, a UK hand cooked crisp brand, has announced the redesigning of its packaging.

The newly-branded packs will be hitting stores in September and are set to showcase illustrations of key ingredients to highlight exactly what goes into the product during the production process.

In a move the brand is labelling as ‘there’s more to KETTLE® than you think’, the packaging will feature the crisp’s field to factory journey, flagging the province of the product.

BelliWelli, a brand of soft-baked nutrition bars developed for the millions of Americans suffering from irritable bowel syndrome, is slated to launch at Sprouts Farmers Market stores nationwide, joining regional retailers including Harmons Neighborhood Grocer, Earth Fare, Gelson's, Central Market and Mother's Market & Kitchen.

Plastic packaging products maker Berry has developed a new EasySnacking on-the-go packaging solution for Podravka, a Croatian cream spread brand.

The new lightweight pack solution ensures that the pack meets the consumer’s sustainability requirements.

Due to the company’s ongoing product improvement, the Lino Lada from Podravka is a top seller in both its home market and the rest of the Adria region, said Berry.

Berry Global and Mars, Incorporated announce the launch of recycled content packaging. Together the companies are driving positive societal impact through new M&M’S®, SKITTLES®, and STARBURST® packaging with 15% recycled plastic. The jars, which come in three sizes, 60-, 81-, 87-ounces, offer the same look and feel and will eliminate approximately 300 tons of virgin plastic per year.

As a result of the update, the online-only supermarket has said this uses 50% less plastic and will remove eight tonnes of plastic packaging every year.

Created in partnership with Linden Foods, the new packaging format was trialled over the last 12 to 18 months with multiple combinations of carrier and top film materials, which has since seen 11 tonnes of plastic used across its steak lines now recyclable.

Created in partnership with Cutwater, its digital creative agency of record, the effect entitled “Snap Sounds” can be accessed directly through TikTok (@harvestsnaps_official) or by scanning the QR code on Harvest Snaps’ newly launched Mixed Snack Pack. This bag-in-bag, six-pack offering of veggie snacks includes the brand’s best-selling Lightly Salted and Tomato Basil flavors, along with Crunchy Loops Sour Cream and Onion. Each single-serve bag is portioned and sized for backpacks or handbags.

Le Domaine, which Pitt co-founded with the Perrin family of organic wine growers at his co-owned vineyard property in Southern France, is promising to be a new “science-meets nature line of genderless skincare essentials.”

Baralan, a consolidated player in primary packaging for the cosmetics and beauty industries, has introduced a new addition to its Eleonora line: the Eleonora screw neck bottle 100. Previously only available in a crimp version, this updated style was developed due to an increasing demand for larger formats for fragrance, skincare and makeup products.
