The ecoblister combines the paper recyclability of both a fiber top card and a PaperFoam tray –as well as its compostability– to offer brands a complete, turn-key solution with both the functionality and aesthetic presentation they need while taking plastic out of their packaging.

An open call issued by an EU-backed project is giving SMEs and other companies a chance to make their bio-based technologies and solutions market-ready. 

Ahead of this day, ITC has come up with a new way to promote its message of conservation of the Earth. The company has introduced paper-based packaging for its Aashirvaad Organic Atta.

This initiative, the company says, is part of the ITC’s Sustainability 2.0 vision which is aimed at strengthening their multi-dimensional efforts to tackle climate change.

Additionally, the company introduced I-Pack, a packaging system that will cut down on waste and use less packaging in the future. Already, the number of packages shipped and billed by dimensional weight has been reduced by 20%. 

Uber Eats customers in central London will be given the option to order takeaways in reusable and returnable containers in an eco-friendly trial.

The drive, designed to reduce single-use packaging, comes into effect on Tuesday and will be available to consumers living in Lambeth, Southwark, Westminster, and the City.

Parts of Camden, Islington and Kensington and Chelsea will also be covered.

Under the six-month trial, customers placing their orders with certain restaurants can opt-in to receive their food in reusable packaging.

Strengthening the company’s sustainability position through its tray-to-tray recycling brand AMB TrayRevive, AMB has signed a partnership agreement after a period of collaboration with B. For Pet, a major Italian recycler. This collaboration now means that post-consumer trays can be processed to produce rPET flake for the food packaging market.

The goal for AMB has always been to utilize new recycling streams to support the market's drive in sustainability, and thereby truly close the loop of the circular economy.

Amcor is proud to partner again with Tyson Foods, one of the world’s largest food companies and a recognized global protein leader, to launch a more sustainable package for consumer products.

The breakthrough new, yet old packaging that mimics ancient terracotta containers in India is coming to the US. And it brings a decidedly modern twist: the packaging can be made on-demand using 21st century technology.

Cosmetics and personal care packaging is long overdue for a makeover, and new beauty and wellness brand Ace of Air is ready to kick things off. Launched on Jan. 28 — and co-founded by model Petra Nemcova — Ace of Air introduces a new way to think about sustainable packaging. Rather than creating jars or bottles that can simply be recycled, the new brand offers its products in "rentable" packaging, gamifying this further with a points system that rewards sending empties back and other planet-friendly deeds.
