Sustainable packaging provider AeroFlexx has been granted US Patents 11,548,709 and 12,071,292 for its flexible plastic packaging solution, the AeroFlexx Pak.<\/p>\n

The AeroFlexx Pak is a recyclable monomaterial package suitable for kerbside recycling. It meets industry standards for polyethylene-based films and flexible packaging, offering an advancement in sustainable packaging options.<\/p>\n

The solution merges the benefits of both rigid and flexible packaging into a single, improved design. It is capable of incorporating up to 50% recycled content while maintaining performance, addressing current market package shortcomings.<\/p>\n

This flexible packaging solution is designed to act like a rigid bottle, providing the best qualities of both packaging types.<\/p>\n

AeroFlexx chief technology officer Cedric D\u2019Souza said: \u201cThis recognition is a significant achievement for AeroFlexx and provides the company with additional value creation by broadening our intellectual property portfolio.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will continue to drive innovation in the plastic packaging industry to address both the consumer and brand\u2019s needs.\u201d<\/p>\n

The design of the AeroFlexx Pak is capable of decreasing the use of virgin plastic by up to 85% compared to traditional rigid bottles. This reduction is achieved by using up to 70% less plastic at the source.<\/p>\n

The AeroFlexx Pak\u2019s lightweight, flexible, and durable nature offers a preferred consumer experience and can significantly enhance brand value through its sustainability benefits, claims the company.<\/p>\n

AeroFlexx CEO Andrew Meyer said: \u201cWe are honoured to be awarded these patents. It demonstrates our unwavering commitment to providing a sustainable and differentiated liquid packaging solution to the marketplace.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy adopting the AeroFlexx Pak, companies can accelerate progress toward their ESG [environmental, social, and governance] goals and sustainability commitments.\u201d<\/p>\n

In January this year, AeroFlexx partnered with Chemipack<\/a>, a Polish blending and filling company, to drive innovation in sustainable liquid packaging across Europe.<\/p>\n
