Companies Innovating in Packaging
Companies are constantly pushing the boundaries of technology to enhance their packaging solutions, aiming for improved performance, marketability, and sustainability. Let’s take a closer look at four innovative packaging solutions that have caught the attention of Packaging Dive.
Revolutionary Paper-Based Can
Twinings, a renowned tea company, recently unveiled their latest product, Twinings Thé Latté, in a groundbreaking paper-based can known as Sonoco’s EnviroCan. This eco-friendly container is crafted from 80% recycled fiber and features water-based inks and adhesives, making it fully recyclable. Sonoco ensures food safety and extended shelf life with its oxygen and moisture barrier, making it a lightweight alternative to traditional metal cans. Twinings introduced this innovative packaging solution in France, setting a new standard in sustainable packaging.
Black Cow Vodka’s Milk Carton Packaging
Black Cow vodka has taken a creative approach by introducing a premium gift box that resembles a traditional milk carton, highlighting the unique use of milk in their product. This recyclable carton aligns with Black Cow’s commitment to zero waste, utilizing whey—a byproduct of cheese making—in their distillation process. Co-founder Paul Archard emphasizes the brand’s dedication to sustainability, with the gift boxes now available in select stores across England and soon to be launched in Sainsbury’s grocery stores.
Sensei Farms’ Sustainable Packaging
Sensei Farms has made a significant sustainability shift by transitioning their greens packaging from plastic clamshells to paperboard trays with clear windows. This eco-friendly change reduces plastic usage by 90% and allows for easy recycling of the tray and liner. The peelable closure adds convenience for consumers, without passing on any additional costs. Their revamped packaging is now available in select Albertson’s stores and will soon be introduced in the Hawaiian Islands, marking a positive step towards a greener future.
