Sonoco introduces an innovative can that is made from 95 per cent paper and is fully recyclable. This addition to the EnviroCan Paper Bottom range aims to improve the recyclability of packaging and reduce the use of plastic and metal. The new packaging is particularly suitable for Nestlé coffee products.
Sonoco, a leading company in the field of sustainable packaging solutions, has developed a new can that is made of 95 per cent paper and is fully recyclable. The new can is a further development of the EnviroCan Paper Bottom range, in which the Metal floor replaced by a fibre-based solution has been recycled. This means that the entire can can be processed in the recycling systems in the UK and Europe.
The tin, which is particularly suitable for packaging Nestlé-coffee products, offers both Easy handling and protection of the product. At the same time, it should Same durability and barrier properties as conventional packaging, according to Sonoco.
„We are proud to have contributed to this latest innovation in the coffee market - a new recyclable paper lidded can with medium to high barrier properties. This solution represents an important step towards more sustainable packaging.“
Seàn Cairns, President Global RPC at Sonoco
The new can meets all UK packaging regulations and reflects Sonoco's aim to minimise the amount of plastic in packaging and offer more environmentally friendly alternatives. The development of the paper-based can supports the sustainability goals of many customers and reduces packaging waste.
