The natural food market has grown tremendously in the last few years. An increase consumer demand for natural products means more companies are incorporating natural packaging and all-natural food items into their product lines.   Because many natural foods are slightly higher-priced than their non-health counterparts, packaging for these products needs to be reflective of the same quality standards. To differentiate themselves, natural foods, health foods and goods producers not only have to compete with other organic products, but also with non-organic products on the market. For many natural food processors, reducing the environmental impact of their products and packaging is a key piece of the mission statement.   PureChimp Has Launched Natural Matcha with 100% Biodegradable Pouches   Pure Chimp® sells the best Matcha green tea & 100% natural skin care in the UK.

Sustainability is both a challenge and an opportunity to the flexible packaging industry. Recyclable pouches made from mono-plastic multilayer structures, utilizing new resins and techniques, appear to be major competitors against glass, metal, and multi-material film structures.   Demand for mono-materials in packaging has been growing as the industry moves from a linear to a circular economy. What are the challenges and possible solutions of mono-plastic pouches?   What lies behind the growth in the use of mono-plastics in the flexible packaging?   Nowadays, there is a paradigm change, from a linear to a circular economy, to ensure there’s enough food, water and prosperity in 2050. There’s a worldwide ban on unsustainable packaging materials with a timeline set forth. For example, according to the European Strategy for plastics in circular economy, in 2030 all plastic packaging must be recyclable. Taking this into consideration, the packaging industry has t...

Industrial composting is an established process with commonly agreed requirements concerning temperature and timeframe for biodegradable waste to metabolise to stable, sanitised products (biomass) to be used in agriculture (humus/fertiliser). This process takes place in industrial or municipal composting plants. These plants provide controlled conditions, i.e. controlled temperatures, humidity, aeration, etc. for a quick and safe composting process. The criteria for the industrial compostability of packaging are set out in the European standard EN 13432. EN 13432 requires the compostable plastics to disintegrate after 12 weeks and completely biodegrade after six months. That means that 90 percent or more of the plastic material will have been converted to CO2. The remaining share is converted into water and biomass – i.e. valuable compost. Materials and products complying with this standard can be certified and labelled accordingly. There is currently no international standard spec...

  The global pandemic has had a dramatic impact on perceptions of packaging. At the beginning of the year, concerns around ocean plastics, environmental tradeoffs, and challenging recycling economics dominated headlines and created a general skepticism on the value of packaging and the viability of recycling. But then the pandemic took hold and packaging has since been hailed as a key tool to ensure health and safety.   While it’s clear that the value of packaging is now more publicly recognized, prior concerns haven’t gone away. During this “great pause,” the packaging industry must reflect and prepare, ensuring that the packaging value chain offers even more value to our environment and society — and can play a key role within the economic restructuring our world will desperately need.   Here are four ways we believe the packaging value chain is likely to change post-COVID-19 and how we can prepare to help create a more robust future.   1. Consumers may...

As conscientious food choices go, coffee offers us a lot of them. Most visibly, in the areas of fair or direct trade, and sustainable farming. It’s glad to see some coffee roaster have worked very hard to reduce the emissions by using more eco roaster. But what about the waste?   Though coffee is itself an organic, biodegradable product (it's fruit!) few of us live near enough to the source to eliminate the necessary evil of packaging. Coffee bags are usually made out of several layers of different types of material. These usually include, plastic, foil and paper. Foil is the worst material that will cause worse overall impact on emissions and overall human health. How to pack greener? Let’s remove the foil. So are Recyclable pouches and compostable pouches. Recyclable Pouch : A bag that can be collected and reprocessed to produce new pouch or new product, only mono type products are recyclable. Some coffee bags are now made entirely from plastic that can be recycled. They...

Why Recyclable Pouches Are the Future Today, recyclable pouches are becoming more and more mainstream. Foreign and domestic pressures, as well as consumers’ demand for more earth-friendly options, are spurring countries to take a look at the issue of waste and recycling and find feasible solutions. Consumer-packaged goods companies (CPGs) are getting behind the movement too. Unilever, Nestlé, Mars, PepsiCo., and others have committed to using 100% recyclable, reusable, or compostable packaging by 2025. Coca-Cola is even supporting recycling infrastructure and programs across the U.S., as well as increasing recycling bin access and education for consumers.  According to Mintel, 52% of U.S. food shoppers prefer to buy foods with minimal or no packaging to reduce packaging waste. And in a global survey conducted by Nielsen, consumers are willing to pay more for sustainable products.  Thirty-eight percent are willing to pay more for products made with sustainable materials,...
