This strategic alliance underscores Sonoco’s commitment to environmental stewardship and social responsibility, aligning with PSC’s mission to advance sustainability in the global pet industry.
This pioneering facility, co-funded by the European Union’s European Innovation Council (EIC), represents a €3.5 million total investment and marks a transformative shift in the paper industry by turning Parisian green waste into high-quality, recyclable packaging materials.
The new paper wrapper provides a functional and environmentally friendly alternative to current snack and confectionary packaging which, over the past 30 years, has become complex with the development of light weight multi-layer structures.
Wynn Petfood is now packing its entire product portfolio of premium pet food blends (that are mixed with water at home) and practical snacks for dogs 100% in paper.
While paper packaging in many ways is more naturally eco-friendly than plastic packaging, Sun Chemical is busy developing inks and coatings solutions to ensure that true recyclability is achieved as the ‘paperization’ trend gains steam.
The solution integrates Eastman’s biobased and compostable Solus performance additives with BioPBS polymer to form a thin coating on UPM’s compostable and recyclable barrier base papers.
