The report shows how flexible packaging offers the ‘perfect fit’ solution to sustainability challenges today. It provides a simple and adaptable answer to portioning, preservation and demands for convenience.
The “Comparative Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of different Pouches and alternative packaging systems for food (Pasta Sauce and Olives) on the European market” conducted by ifeu Heidelberg investigates the environmental performance of multi-material flexible pouch systems used for Pasta Sauce and Olives and compares it with those of alternative packaging systems i.e. glass jars and steel cans.
A recent Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) study has provided significant evidence on the environmental advantages of flexible packaging in almost all environmental impact categories, including carbon footprint. This study provides valuable scientific insights into the impact of multi-material flexible pouches in comparison to other commonly used packaging formats.
Food regulator FSSAI on Friday made it mandatory for manufacturers of packaged drinking water and mineral water to take BIS certification for obtaining license or registration from the authority.
Today, the European Commission provides guidance on the EU rules on single-use plastics and adopts an Implementing Decision on the monitoring and reporting of fishing gear placed on the market and waste fishing gear collected. These rules aim to reduce marine litter from single-use plastic products and fishing gear and promote the transition to a circular economy with innovative and sustainable business models, products, and materials.
At BillerudKorsnäs we want to offer alternatives to single-use plastic packaging that risks ending up as hazardous litter in our environment. Alternatives like Basix Repel Pure – the 100% natural grease-repellent paper for bags and wraps. Now bakery and quick service restaurant brands can offer their customers food in packaging without fluoropolymer-based grease barriers.
