Valmet Packaging and Paper executive vice-president Petri Rasinmäki said that the demand for moulded-fibre packaging solutions was growing and Valmet saw strong opportunities to help customers capture this growth.

By combining their strengths and shared vision, the companies could accelerate new developments, improve service, and deliver greater results for clients, aiming to shape the direction of their industry with practical, forward-thinking solutions.

The MonoPP Flowpack is certified as recyclable by the Cyclos-HTP Institute and can integrate with existing recycling infrastructure in countries with established polypropylene recycling streams.

By switching to aluminium made with renewable power (hydro, wind, or solar), Elopak addresses the aluminium layer’s emissions without changing barrier performance or requiring customers to modify filling lines.

The GreenDot-osapiens platform calculates compliance obligations for each country and determines the applicable tariff structure, turning a fragmented manual process into an automated workflow.

Laser-based sorting enables alloy-specific separation, producing feedstock that can be directly remelted into new high-performance products without the energy penalty of refining mixed scrap down to purity.

The labelling uses the package’s surface area to educate shoppers who may not know which foods contain fibre.

The adhesives are supported by pre-assessed performance data to support qualification and regulatory processes.

The transition requires zero capital expenditure.

The new D-Pak cartons contain a mix of circular PE (recycled post-consumer plastic) and bio-circular PE (made from renewable feedstocks such as used cooking oil or tall oil).
