At Interzoo 2026 in Nuremberg, Coveris will present a new range of PFAS-free packaging solutions specifically developed for the pet food industry, tailored for the requirements of snacks and treats, as well as dry and wet pet food.
PFAS, also known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are chemicals used in many packaging materials to provide water and grease repellent properties. However, these substances are facing increasing criticism due to their environmental and health risks. Coveris has responded by developing a range of packaging that can be produced without the use of PFAS. These new packaging solutions are made from mono-materials, which not only improves recyclability but also reduces environmental impact.
Requirements of the pet food industry
The pet food industry has specific packaging requirements that must ensure both product protection and the fulfilment of sustainability criteria. Coveris addresses these requirements with its new packaging solutions, suitable for both snacks and treats as well as dry and wet food. The use of mono-materials improves the recyclability of the packaging, reducing the ecological footprint of the products.
Sustainability and efficiency in focus
Coveris' new packaging solutions aim to strike a balance between product protection, environmental impact, and operational efficiency. The use of mono-materials not only allows for easier separation and recycling of materials, but can also make production processes more efficient. This is particularly important in an industry under increasing pressure to implement more sustainable practices.
