\u201eSustainability is an integral part of our corporate strategy and Landliebe's brand values. Optimising the design of our packaging with regard to recycling is a top priority for us. That's why we didn't want to wait until 2024 to launch tethered caps. We are the first in the world to launch the combiSwift closure with tethered cap from SIG and are already offering consumers a practical solution for drinking and pouring that they can dispose of and recycle together with the emptied carton pack. We are using one side of the pack to clearly explain the handling and environmental benefits of the new tethered cap.\u201c<\/p>

The combiSwift TC lock can be fixed in the desired parking position by pressing it down. This allows Consumers can drink or pour from the pack without the cap being in the way and without having to hold it in place<\/strong>. To close the pack, the cap is simply lifted slightly and then closed as usual. Tethered caps also ensure greater convenience, as the cap is always to hand and cannot get lost. Market research confirms high consumer acceptance for both drinking and pouring<\/strong>. combiSwift TC from SIG is one of three closure innovations for SIG's most popular carton packs in Europe. There is also domeTwist TC for the combidome carton bottle and combiMaxx TC for SIG carton packs in the family size.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
