Label detaches from PET flakes in processing, prevents contamination, maintains purity, addressing adhesive/incompatible-label challenge.

Designed to stay put through normal use, ice included, but release under hot water and agitation, Wausau’s wash-away technology supports circular packaging, since reuse is among the most energy-efficient recycling routes.

Now extended to 50ml and 100ml, the packaging uses a cylindrical, rounded-base container from Bormioli Luigi’s ecoLine range, a long-standing Coverpla partner.

The CarbonLite PurePP pouch is designed for cold filling of drinkable yoghurt and dairy products, with films treated by UVC or hydrogen peroxide to reduce microbial load.

The closed-loop system recirculates high-quality PP at the same grade, keeping tray waste out of downcycling, incineration, and landfill while reducing reliance on fossil-based virgin PP.

The tool standardises verification, cuts operational load, improves product safety, and speeds up clearance at entry points.

The achievement advances the Kirin Group’s Environmental Vision 2050 goal of creating a society that circulates containers and packaging sustainably.

REBHAN’s premium packaging know-how plus Indorama’s PET materials and support helps beauty brands deliver distinctive, sustainable designs to market.

The paper tray was extensively tested to ensure product protection and shelf life, offering cookie durability during transport and display while reducing virgin plastic use.

The launch marks IPAK’s entry into specialised, higher-value applications, helping Pakistani manufacturers diversify exports, boost foreign exchange, and cut reliance on imported packaging.
