Packaging and consumer goods companies are accelerating their efforts to adopt new innovative materials and processes to replace plastic in product packaging to help meet their plastic reduction goals

Eatable Adventures and the Italia del Gusto food consortium packaging challenge unveil six pioneering projects, from industrial packaging created with alternative materials to new proposals for streamlining production processes.

ProMach brand Pharmaworks will debut their capability to handle new 100-percent recyclable, mono-material packaging films on their blister machines.

The new PCR PP behaves identically to virgin material, so there's no need for manufacturers to adjust tooling or processing equipment.

Tide evo’s debut will begin a new chapter in laundry's evolution, from soap to detergents to powders to liquids to PODS, and now, to fiber tiles.

All cups, lids, containers and cutlery in the new Veridian™ line feature the word “Compostable,” display the BPI Certification Mark signifying that the material is compostable, and include green or brown identification elements like tinting and striping that further help distinguish them from their non-compostable counterparts. 

The Cradle to Cradle Certified standard stands as the premier multi-attribute guideline adopted worldwide by designers, brands, and manufacturers spanning various industries.

The new, patented technology enables simultaneous processing of diverse container types, including cans, jars and pouches, in the same equipment.

In this interview, Videojet’s Sherry Washburn discusses how recent improvements to soft-pigmented inks are facilitating coding and contrast printing for packaging.

Immediately available and domestically produced, the recyclable paper-based tray system uses 90% less plastic than conventional plastic-based trays and boasts extreme versatility.
