Mondi has developed sustainable paper-based packaging for the German pet food manufacturer Interquell Petfood. The FlexiBags made from renewable raw materials reduce the use of plastic and improve the CO2 balance.
The specification for the Packaging and paper specialist Mondi late to develop paper-based packaging with a functional plastic barrier in two sizes for the pet food manufacturer's sustainable premium dog food Goood. In the production of the resealable paper-based pouches, Mondi now uses Up to 50 per cent renewable raw materials. In addition, both the base paper production as well as the film production and the final processing are controlled internally by Mondi. According to the company, this significantly reduces the CO2 emissions of the bags.
Paper-based FlexiBags for greater sustainability
The innovative paper-based FlexiBags fulfil Interquell's target, Less plastic to use. At the same time, they offer safe protection of the product and practical handling for the end user.
"Sustainability is the be-all and end-all for us: we invest a lot in protecting natural resources and work with local raw materials wherever possible. We also support environmental initiatives such as that of our partner One Earth - One Ocean, which fishes 10kg of plastic out of the world's oceans for every 10kg of dry food we produce. At the same time, our products must be protected in their packaging so that our high-quality pet food can be transported, stored and served easily." Georg MüllerManaging Director of Interquell Petfood
