With the rising awareness of the impact that our consumption patterns have on the environment, consumers are increasingly prioritising sustainable habits and purchasing decisions. As responsible packaging remains integral to consumer choice, Europe’s FMCG businesses and packaging suppliers must keep abreast of constantly evolving packaging sustainability expectations. Here, PakTech examines four key sustainability trends to further help businesses to make the most environmentally responsible choices when it comes to packaging and overall business operations.

Sure, you may recognize our reusable handles on the six-pack 12-oz regular or the quad-pack 16-oz craft beer found in grocery stores, dock sales, and even in build-your-own beer coolers. You’ve probably found it easy to simply remove from the cans as it is to pop one of our handles on an empty can when you pack up from a picnic.

Today, governments, businesses and consumers look for ways to optimise waste management. Among different solutions, the waste hierarchy concept has become an essential tool to determine priorities for action to reduce and manage waste sustainably. Yet, this concept remains unknown to many.

Today, packaging trends have shifted considerably, as consumers are rethinking their packaging choices, re-evaluating their purchasing habits and educating themselves on sustainable practices. Similarly, producers are accommodating consumers’ preferences into their products by investing in advanced technologies, working with different materials and techniques and setting ambitious environmental targets. Brands, distributors, and retailers are increasingly becoming more selective with the type of packaging solution they choose.

The Business Intelligence Group has recognized PakTech for its Sustainability Product of the Year in the 2021 Sustainability Awards program. The Sustainability Awards honor those people, teams and organizations who have made sustainability an integral part of their business practices or overall mission.

As any successful co-packer knows, the best way to grow your business is to offer more services to your customers. That’s why “one stop shop, “complete solution”, and “single-source” are such popular selling points—the co-packer gets more business and manufacturers have all their packaging needs done in one place. Win win!

PakTech assists with launching The U.S. Plastics Pact's (“U.S. Pact”) “Roadmap to 2025,” an aggressive national strategy illustrating how the U.S. Pact, PakTech and fellow signatories, known as Activators, will achieve each of the U.S. Pact’s four 2025 targets through specific actions, responsibilities, and interim timeframes to realize a circular economy for plastics in the United States by 2025.

We at PakTech are proud of our recycling program. Alongside with our 100% recycled plastic packaging solutions, the recycling program supports our commitment to sustainability. These initiatives have helped us repurpose the equivalent of over half a billion (644,203,483 to be exact) discarded milk jugs, keeping roughly 83 million pounds of plastic out of the waste stream. This is plastic that wasn’t sent to a landfill (or the ocean), but was instead repurposed, often multiple times!
