At the upcoming FachPack 2024 exhibition, Coveris brings its No Waste vision to the next level by introducing an industry-leading range of sustainably designed films, laminates, fibre-based and premade packaging. Fully in line with its No Waste strategy, Coveris supports the ESG and sustainability needs set by their customers, introducing a wide range of innovative packaging covering both plastic and paper solutions.
In addition, the company continues to eliminate waste in all its forms - avoiding product spoilage, packaging waste and operational waste, heavily investing in an innovative waste recycling process through its ReCover initiative and the latest cooperation with Interzero to fully close the plastic waste loop.
Turning circular economy into reality
Increasing recycling and recovery in 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, Coveris delivers hermetic sealing with no airflow for reduced food waste. 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 alternatives for every application
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 s, even up to 12kg pet food bags. Designed as a sustainable alternative to non-recyclable or difficult-to-recycle plastics, MonoFlex films have been developed 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," says Coveris CEO Christian Kolarik, referring to the motto of the trade fair.
