ProAmpac, a global leader in flexible packaging and material science, has partnered with ScottsMiracle-Gro to introduce a groundbreaking spouted pouch for Ortho Home Defense Max. This new packaging combines the durability of rigid containers with the efficiency of flexible packaging, offering consumers a convenient and more sustainable alternative.
“The new Ortho Home Defense Max packaging represents a major step forward in sustainability and consumer convenience,” said Keith Miller, senior packaging engineer at ScottsMiracle-Gro. “By introducing a spouted pouch, we’ve significantly reduced our plastic packaging footprint while ensuring that our customers continue to receive the high-performance pest control solutions they trust.”
This design leverages ProAmpac’s chemical- and UV-resistant printing and laminating technology, ensuring durability and product integrity while advancing sustainability. Developed in close collaboration with ScottsMiracle-Gro, the spouted pouch allows consumers to conveniently refill their current dispensing system rather than purchase a new one. This supports consumer ease-of-use and dramatically reduces the plastic required per unit. By transitioning from a rigid container to a flexible pouch, the new packaging uses 90% less plastic, significantly lightens the overall weight, and is better optimized for e-commerce distribution. The pouch delivers the same volume of pest control solution with far less environmental impact.
“Our goal was to create a packaging solution that meets sustainability targets without compromising performance,” said Isha Labhasetwar, product development manager at ProAmpac. “By transitioning from a rigid container to a flexible pouch, this innovative design not only reduces plastic waste but also improves ease of use for consumers and aligns perfectly with ecommerce logistics.”
Recognized for its innovative design and sustainability, the Ortho Home Defense Max spouted pouch sets a new standard for environmentally responsible packaging in the lawn and garden sector.
