Vetain is thus replacing the rigid paper can with a metal base that was previously used with a more recyclable alternative.<\/p>\n<p>Vetain was founded in 2021 by athletes Luca Gruber and Philipp Riedl and has built up a strong customer base of over 200,000 consumers across Europe with its range of protein powders, bars, nut butters and toppings. With an annual turnover of around 20 million euros and a team of 23 employees, the start-up focuses on quality, transparency and sustainability as its core values.<\/p><div class=\"packa-in-post-alle\" style=\"text-align: center;\" id=\"packa-3492136771\"><div id=\"packa-3547491386\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/newsletter\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"PJ Self-promotion English 03\"><!--noptimize--><img src=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03.png 840w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-300x75.png 300w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-768x192.png 768w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-18x5.png 18w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-332x83.png 332w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-664x166.png 664w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-688x172.png 688w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" width=\"840\" height=\"210\"  style=\" max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" \/><!--\/noptimize--><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<h3>Cooperation with Sonoco<\/h3>\n<p>The collaboration with Sonoco began in 2023, when Vetain initially switched to an all-paper solution.
