The closure’s ISCC+ certification enables full traceability of recycled content, helping Ginstberg meet evolving regulatory requirements for packaging circularity.
The technology pairs a protein-based polymer from Lactips with PureNil 0 paper from SmartSolve to produce a flexible film that disappears in water.
The system, developed in collaboration with Datacom, enables Lion to monitor crates in circulation and aims to collect data on consumer behaviours to refine the experience for future scaling.
The platform supports Sibanye-Stillwater’s broader strategy of connecting mining, processing and recycling into a single value chain.
The patent’s timing aligns with increased regulatory pressure for enhanced authentication features in local products and the global anti-counterfeit packaging market’s rapid expansion.
The software supports dynamic customisation based on date, location or purchase history, enabling targeted messaging without complex pre-printing.
The ultra-thin barrier layer, applied at just 0.01mm thickness, is engineered to provide excellent water and oxygen resistance while remaining fully recyclable and biodegradable.
The platform connects with existing internal systems via API, automatically identifies data gaps, compliance risks and missing information across thousands of SKUs, and enables bulk generation and export of documentation simultaneously.
The pilot will evaluate the operational viability of a structured collection and recycling model, with the potential for wider adoption across India if successful.
The two companies will collaborate from the initial raw material design stage to develop packaging that strengthens cold and heat resistance properties.
