It's rare to see a new kind of material used for packaging, but it's even rarer when that material is highly sustainable and centuries old. 

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.

The new QR codes, created by Zappar and working with the RNIB (Royal National Institute of Blind People), can be detected by the free Zapvision app, supporting the estimated two million blind and partially sighted people in the UK to access product information.

They will be launching first on Persil’s plastic-free capsules and Ultimate Liquids ranges in the UK.

The technology works by adding additional markings around existing QR codes, improving the detectability.

It has been developed to improve the functionalities of the Master+ Series machines to offer you an even more advanced, and more user-friendly device for all your coding and marking needs.

Besides the new design, more modern and elegant, the new developments of the MasterPi have been made in order to make the system even faster and more efficient, and easier to use, and a lot of attention has also been put into connectivity.

Even if you have only a nodding acquaintance with the range of topics surrounding sustainability in industry, you will have come across this term: the circular economy. Although this model may be remarkably simple, it is also all-encompassing.
