At the forthcoming FachPack 2024 exhibition, from 24th to 26th September 2024 in Nuremberg, Coveris is poised to elevate its No Waste vision, introducing an industry-leading suite of sustainably engineered films, laminates, fibre-based solutions, and preformed packaging. In alignment with its No Waste strategy, Coveris addresses the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) imperatives and sustainability objectives articulated by its clients, unveiling a diverse array of cutting-edge packaging solutions that encompass both plastic and paper applications.
In a continued effort to eradicate waste in all its manifestations—whether through the prevention of product spoilage, reduction of packaging waste, or optimisation of operational efficiency—Coveris is heavily investing in innovative waste recycling methodologies. The company's ReCover initiative, coupled with its recent collaboration with Interzero, exemplifies a robust approach to fully closing the plastic waste loop.
Advancing Circular Economy Principles
As a testament to its commitment to enhancing recycling and recovery within a circular economy, Coveris will be showcasing its recyclable and recycled solutions. The award-winning Duralite R shrink film wrap is manufactured using high-quality recycled resins, including those produced at Coveris’ pioneering ReCover recycling facility. This provides a lightweight and completely sustainable material for collated products, eliminating the need for virgin materials and supporting the UK and European plastics packaging tax compliancy. Another noteworthy solution is the fully recyclable range of pallet transportation packaging with over 30% recycled content, including high power stretch, shrink and stretch tubing films. The complete range of pallet packing films is produced using recycled plastic and energy from renewable sources, offering an efficient and sustainable solution to stabilise and protect products during shipment.
Visitors at FachPack 2024 will also experience first-hand Coveris’ latest paper-based innovations, starting with the MonoFlex Fibre family which delivers high shelf-impact and recyclability within the existing paper stream. Despite being produced from a single layer of paper, this solution offers an optimal level of protection and barrier properties. Another noteworthy solution is the BarrierFresh MAP sandwich skillet, designed to maintain product freshness for up to 28 days longer by controlling the pack atmosphere. Thanks to the Freshlife liner and barrier technology, hermetic sealing with no airflow for reduced food waste are delivered by Coveris. An all-paper packaging solution for produce, Linerless MonoTop combines Coveris’ award-winning linerless labels with cardboard punnet range. Sustainably sourced and recyclable, it offers efficient packing and premium shelf-appeal, delivering environmental, presentation and operational benefits.
Sustainable Solutions for Diverse Applications
Coveris’ circular offering at FachPack is complemented by the expanded range of recyclable PE and PP MonoFlex films and laminates, which includes packaging for grated cheese, while also offering various formats and sizes, even up to 12kg pet food bags. These films are designed as sustainable alternatives to non-recyclable or difficult-to-recycle plastics, to preserve product shelf-life, performance, functionality and packing efficiency.
We are looking forward to showing all the industry-leading sustainable solutions we have to offer. In the process, we do not only pay attention to the final packaging, but also to many other factors, such as the choice of materials, the use of renewable energy, and the recycling process. With all our initiatives, with ReCover and our innovations, we are closing the loop. Together with our strong partners, we can proudly say that we play a pioneering role in our industry when it comes to supporting our customers in achieving their sustainability goals,
said Coveris CEO Christian Kolarik, referring to the motto of the trade fair.
