In 2018, Constantia Flexibles introduced the more sustainable Ecolutions product range. The Packaging in this product family is recyclable or compostable.

The compostable EcoPressoLid is also part of the Ecolutions range. Naturally occurring microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and algae, completely degrade the EcoPressoLid lid under industrial composting conditions in less than six months.
