Today, biscuits, chocolates, pralines and snacks also need to be packaged sustainably. Recyclability and optimum protection are at the top of the list of requirements for alternative materials, such as those made from renewable raw materials. Packaging systems must have the necessary flexibility and process capability to be able to process these materials. The exhibitors at ProSweets Cologne will be demonstrating how this can be achieved until 31 January. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The current trend in packaging development cannot be overlooked at ProSweets Cologne: Wherever plastic can be dispensed with in packaging, the material is replaced by cardboard or paper<\/strong>. Increasing recyclability and reducing packaging weight are other important aspects that exhibitors will be addressing.<\/p>\n
