Rethinking Materials’ Post

Is it time to move from thinking to doing when it comes to implementing next generation packaging? Our comprehensive new study launched yesterday at the Rethinking Materials Innovation Summit is based on research with 100 UK experts responsible for packaging R&D, design and sustainability with FMCG brands. It shows that although the vast majority (92%) plan to stop using conventional plastics altogether, the move to new materials with better end-of-life options is too slow. More ambitious recycling targets, greater investment and closer R&D collaboration are cited as the key drivers to speeding up adoption of new polymer technologies, bioplastics and multi-material solutions.

A comprehensive new study by Aquapak Polymers Ltd, ‘FMCG flexible packaging: accelerating the move from plastic to paper’, based on research with 100 UK packaging experts responsible for packaging R&D, technology, design and sustainability for FMCG brands, reveals that the majority (92%) plan to stop using plastic in their consumer packaging altogether. The report, launched today at the Rethinking Materials Innovation and Investment Summit in London, shows that paper and paperboard are the replacement materials of choice, followed by new polymers, bioplastics, and multi-materials. #flexiblepackaging #recyclability #foodpackaging #sustainability #circulareconomy #recycledmaterials #resourceefficiency #paperpackaging

International chemical business 2M Group of Companies has launched a new packaging focused business unit – 2M Sustainable Packaging Technologies – to promote its growing portfolio of biomaterial technologies.   Based in Milton Keynes, the group says the new business is the exclusive licence holder for Morro – a bio-based material derived from natural plant proteins from Cambridge-based Xampla’s stable. Sustainable Packaging Technologies is responsible for Morro Coating’s production and distribution across Europe, producing multi-tonnes of material at its MK facility. Morro is fully biodegradable and home compostable while being safe for food contact, offering high strength, grease and oxygen barrier properties said to make it ideal as a replacement to plastic. Sustainable Packaging Technologies has been supported by strategic partnerships and investments from both Innovate UK and SSPP Government funding, enabling the business to scale up sustainable technologies that are both environmentally and commercially conscious. The new enterprise is led by Business Unit Head, James Nelson - FIMMM, who brings 25 years of experience in the packaging and material science industry. He said: “As we launch Sustainable Packaging Technologies, I'm thrilled to lead our team in driving sustainable innovation within the packaging industry. Our bio-based solutions will offer brands effective alternatives to plastic, delivering environmental responsibility without compromising on performance. “We aim to act as a trusted partner between R & D material science companies and leading packaging manufacturers and converters who are keen to support brands to deliver on their sustainability pledges.” Gal Maller, MBA, Commercial Director and 2M Board member, added: “In today’s world, businesses must not only focus on ESG’s foundations of Environmental, Social and Governance, but also ensure Economic Sustainability is part of that consideration. Packaging therefore needs to deliver on many fronts.” Full article – https://lnkd.in/eHfUFEpW

Innovation Chemicals Ltd care very much about the environment and reducing plastics / micro plastics in all areas where possible. Our fragrances are natural and non-capsulated, which means that they are not capsulated in micro plastics, which end up back in the ocean and are very damaging to our eco-system. In addition to our commitment to reducing plastics, Innovation Chemicals Ltd are also dedicated to using sustainable and eco-friendly ingredients in our products. We source our raw materials from suppliers who share our values and prioritize sustainability in their operations. Furthermore, we are continuously working on improving our production processes to minimize waste and reduce our carbon footprint. We are exploring alternative packaging options, such as biodegradable materials, to further reduce our impact on the environment. We believe that it is our responsibility to protect the planet for future generations. By incorporating environmentally friendly practices into our business model, we are actively working towards a more sustainable future. https://lnkd.in/eh-FgGC7

The global reusable and refillable packaging market is expected to grow by over $7 billion by 2029 Across all industrial sectors sustainability is an increasing priority. This is especially true in packaging which is single-use and consumes high volumes of plastic. Furthermore brand-owners and legislators are increasingly seeing packaging as an easy target to cut their carbon footprint. Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities in Protective Packaging Market: Driver: Increasing international trade Restraint: Stringent regulations for packaging Opportunity: Developing new sustainable packaging options Challenge: Maintaining product quality The packaging industry is responding to and initiating its own response to this challenge. While incremental reductions in environmental cuts will still be possible - major future reductions often rest on implementing a new disruptive technology. This increased demand for paper-based materials is expanding the market for biodegradable and compostable packaging. A recent Smithers report concluded that the global market is forecast to grow at 8.8% CAGR to 2029, reaching an incredible 11.7 million tonnes. "Consumption of biodegradable and compostable polymers for packaging will continue growing at a faster rate than petrochemical-based thermoplastic materials," states the report. "Demand is driven by the growing desire of consumers, brand owners and governments to replace single-use fossil-based plastics with more sustainable packaging alternatives." #energymanagement #sustainability #digitaltransformation #PackagingInnovation #ProductSuccess #FMCGUK #UKBusiness 🇬🇧
