Constantia Flexibles has unveiled a recycle-ready innovation for coffee packaging in collaboration with Delica, part of Migros Industrie.<\/p>\n

The flexible packaging manufacturer implemented its EcoVerHighPlus mono polypropylene (PP) laminate into a soft bag.<\/p>\n

The EcoVerHighPlus laminate is designed to meet the demands of coffee packaging, with better barrier properties that lock in aroma and freshness for both ground coffee and coffee beans.<\/p>\n

Its advanced material structure intends to deliver a recyclable packaging option without compromising quality or functionality, Constantia Flexibles said.<\/p>\n

Specifically, the mono PP valve is said to improve product freshness by keeping external gases out and allowing volatile gases to escape.<\/p>\n

Constantia Flexibles market product manager for beverages Tobias Acker said: \u201cThis project highlights the positive impact of close collaboration. Thanks to our partnership with Delica AG we have successfully launched one of the first recyclable-ready mono PP laminates for coffee soft bags on the market. This represents a meaningful step forward for both the industry and the environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

EcoVerHighPlus for Technical Films has been tested at Cyclos for recyclability, with results demonstrating a 95% recyclability rating for the unprinted version.<\/p>\n

Trials with the EcoVerHighPlus laminate were launched in early 2023, with promising initial results. Migros carried out shelf-life tests and coffee tastings to assess performance.<\/p>\n

Constantia Flexibles optimised the packaging\u2019s structure based on this feedback to improve recyclability while maintaining the necessary protective properties.<\/p>\n

By October 2023, Constania ran the first fully printed EcoVerHighPlus laminate and a long-run production test in January 2024 confirmed that the material performed well on Migros\u2019 packaging line.<\/p>\n
