Recycled materials, reusable packaging, compostable packaging and even used cooking oil are among the many paths toward more eco-friendly snack food packaging.
Vendors of snack food packaging are developing recyclable, biodegradable and reusable products to expand their customer base. KYSU – whose products include freeze-dried fruits and chocolates – has unveiled packaging made entirely from recycled materials, and Bad Monkey Popcorn has created compostable packaging for one of the world’s most popular snack foods.
Derived from used cooking oil, Braskem's new mass-balanced Bio-Circular Polypropylene (PP) represents a significant step toward a circular economy, helping to displace fossil fuels.
In 2023, the flexible packaging industry saw positive developments despite challenges for some firms. Sonoco achieved record profits, TC Transcontinental maintained stable revenues and increased earnings, and Winpak benefited from lower raw material prices, improving profit margins. The industry's consolidation trend was also evident in the Top 25 converters list for the year.
The “Better Future” campaign will be rolled out globally in the coming months, and it will be at the center of all communication and marketing ventures moving forward.
Mondi partnered with the National Test Centre Circular Plastics (NTCP) in the Netherlands to prove effective sorting of its plastic packaging during the recycling process.
When designing closures for some of the world’s biggest brands, the biggest challenge we must overcome when it comes to e-commerce is ensuring our designs can withstand the impact of being shipped. The second challenge is leak protection.
The new pack now features a black lid, while the neck of the jar has been slimmed down and the shoulders widened, showing a more modern and sophisticated look.
