With packaging solutions made of mono-PE, mono-PP and paper that are designed for recycling, Adapa is focussing on early structural changes and efficient D4R concepts in view of the imminent full effectiveness of the EU packaging regulation PPWR.
Despite the PPWR already in force, many market players are still hesitant to switch to recyclable packaging structures. According to Adapa, it has already developed and launched numerous solutions based on mono-PE, mono-PP and paper-based materials. In close cooperation with customers and partners, structural adjustments are to be implemented at an early stage in order to create planning security - even if not all delegated acts have yet been finalised.
The D4R products are designed with performance in mind. They combine processability on existing systems with protective functions and a high-quality appearance at the point of sale.
PP monomaterial with high barrier
With MonoFlow(re) P-Type, Adapa has a recyclable PP-based flowpack solution in its portfolio that offers high barrier properties and stable sealing performance - even on high-speed systems. According to the company, plastic consumption can be reduced by up to 70 per cent. At the same time, transparency and print quality ensure clear product presentation. Areas of application include cheese, meat products, plant-based alternatives, baked goods, frozen products and confectionery.
Paper solutions for dry applications
Adapa's paper-based stand-up pouches are suitable for numerous dry applications in the food and non-food sectors. They can be processed reliably and integrated into existing recycling streams. Different surfaces and printing options enable a differentiated brand presentation.
With PaperTwister(re), the company is also presenting CEPI-certified twist packaging with a paper content of up to 98 per cent. A plant-based coating ensures functional properties. The solution is suitable for confectionery such as chewy sweets, toffees and hard caramels.
Mono material up to the cord
Another example of closed material concepts is the EcoString Loopbag. The bag and cord are made from the same material and can be recycled together. The cord is made from internal production waste and mechanically recycled PCR material. PCR content of up to 80 per cent is possible. The bag is particularly suitable for hygiene and cosmetic products without barrier requirements.
Adapa is also investing in new flexo and gravure printing lines as well as digital printing technologies. The equipment includes special coating applications and full-surface 100 per cent vision control. The company supports variable print runs for seasonal products or test markets with digital printing solutions.
Sustainability as a growth strategy
The corporate strategy combines international presence with local customer proximity. Sustainability is at the centre of development. „For us as a group, it is crucial to think performance and design for recycling together,“ says Stefano Manfredi, Chief Sales Officer at Adapa.
