Dreco\u00a0has\u00a0redesigned\u00a0its powder detergent packaging with Mondi to include 50% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic.<\/p>\n

The move was aimed at making the pack more circular while preserving moisture protection and product quality.<\/p>\n

Dreco\u2019s requirements included moisture resistance, reduced use of virgin plastic without losing strength in daily handling, stable print quality and shelf presentation, and alignment with longer-term sustainability objectives and future regulation.<\/p>\n

Mondi and Dreco developed a re\/loop PillowBag structure containing 50% mechanically recycled PCR material to meet those needs.<\/p>\n

Dreco owner and managing director Milo Drehsen said: \u201cReducing the environmental impact of our packaging is a key priority for us, but performance is critical for products like powder detergent. Working with Mondi has enabled us to introduce a solution that combines high recycled content with the protection our products require.\u201d<\/p>\n

The\u00a0pack\u00a0maintains\u00a0product integrity without depending on\u00a0high levels\u00a0of virgin plastic.<\/p>\n

It is also intended to provide consistent print quality and an easy-opening format for users.<\/p>\n

The structure is designed to work with polyolefin mechanical recycling streams.<\/p>\n

Mondi said material traceability is supported through its ISCC PLUS mass balance certification.<\/p>\n

According to the companies, the project shows that moisture-sensitive FMCG packaging can incorporate a relatively high share of recycled content without affecting quality, dependability or preparedness for regulation.<\/p>\n

The new packaging is already on sale through retailers in Germany.<\/p>\n

Mondi B\u00e9k\u00e9scsaba managing director Sandor Kardos commented: \u201cTogether with Dreco, we have developed a high PCR packaging solution for a moisture-sensitive application that is designed for recycling, helping our customer to prepare for regulatory requirements while meeting today\u2019s market expectations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Mondi introduced a fully recyclable brown kraftliner pack<\/a> with white digital printing for glass manufacturer Riedel Glas, created for the launch of the All American Bourbon glass range.<\/p>\n
