ProAmpac, a flexible packaging and material science company, has collaborated with ScottsMiracle-Gro to launch a spouted pouch for Ortho Home Defense Max.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The company noted that the new packaging combines the durability of rigid containers with the efficiency of flexible packaging, providing a convenient and more sustainable option for consumers.<\/p>\n

The design utilises ProAmpac\u2019s chemical- and UV-resistant printing and laminating technology to ensure product integrity.<\/p>\n

Developed in partnership with ScottsMiracle-Gro, the spouted pouch enables consumers to refill their existing dispensing system, eliminating the need to purchase a new one.<\/p>\n

This shift from rigid containers to flexible pouches reduces plastic usage by 90%, significantly lowers overall weight, and optimises the product for e-commerce distribution.<\/p>\n

ProAmpac product development manager Isha Labhasetwar said: \u201cOur goal was to create a packaging solution that meets sustainability targets without compromising performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy 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 e-commerce logistics.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pouch is said to deliver the same volume of pest control solution with a reduced environmental impact.<\/p>\n

ScottsMiracle-Gro senior packaging engineer Keith Miller said: \u201cThe new Ortho Home Defense Max packaging represents a major step forward in sustainability and consumer convenience.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy introducing a spouted pouch, we\u2019ve significantly reduced our plastic packaging footprint while ensuring that our customers continue to receive the high-performance pest control solutions they trust.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last month, ProAmpac collaborated with<\/a> ScottsMiracle-Gro to convert the garden care brand O.M. Scott & Sons\u2019 packaging into a recyclable solution.<\/p>\n
