Mondi and Thimonnier want to replace the industry standard of multilayer PVC refill pouches with a recyclable alternative. To this end, the companies have developed recyclable packaging for liquid soap refills. Compared to the current standard, the new packaging reduces plastic consumption by more than 75 per cent.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The new packaging for liquid soap refill packs from Mondi<\/a> and Thimonnier<\/a> is designed so that it can be emptied completely. The Berlingot bag is made from a recyclable mono-material: co-extruded polyethylene (PE). It weighs less and reduces plastic consumption<\/strong> by more than 75 per cent compared to rigid plastic bottles. The refill solution can replace the current industry standard of multilayer PVC refill pouches, which are effectively non-recyclable.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201eOur aim in working with Mondi was to find an alternative packaging with a low environmental impact and good runnability. We are delighted to have found a solution that achieves both.\u201d<\/p>

The durable and leak-proof solution allows consumers to smell the product inside, a useful feature for the liquid soaps it is designed to protect. The lightweight material makes it more convenient for customers, especially those shopping in-store.<\/p>

MAP2030 includes the goal of making 100 per cent of the company's products reusable, recyclable or compostable by 2025. The sustainability action plan also includes other Commitments and targets in relation to circular solutions, people and climate<\/strong>. The company has a long history of working with industry leaders to develop packaging that is both effective and sustainable. The Berlingot refillable packaging was presented during the 25th edition of the CFIA from 8 to 10 March in Rennes, France.<\/p>
