Vilsa-Brunnen is the first German beverage manufacturer to replace shrink film with innovative adhesive dots and recyclable cardboard carriers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With the introduction of the Vilsa Nix-Pack, Vilsa presents an alternative to conventional packaging for disposable bottles. Instead of shrink film, strong adhesive dots are used, while a handle made of recyclable cardboard replaces the previous plastic carrying handle.<\/p>\n

\u201eWith the Vilsa Nix-Pack, we are setting another milestone in our sustainable corporate strategy. We want to offer our customers an environmentally friendly alternative that combines the highest quality and innovation.\u201c<\/p>\n

Hans-Dietrich K\u00fchl, Chairman of the Management Board of Vilsa-Brunnen<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Focus on sustainability<\/h3>\n

The introduction has had a considerable impact on the company's carbon footprint. With the system from KHS, Vilsa saves around 50 tonnes of plastic<\/strong> which corresponds to a distance of 2,000 kilometres of shrink film<\/strong> correspond.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n

\u201eThe new packaging solution allows us to reduce our CO\u2082 emissions depending on the bottle size by 40 to 70 per cent<\/strong>. Specifically, we save on the 1-litre Nix pack 62.5 per cent CO\u2082 emissions<\/strong> a. The changeover is a logical development of our sustainability strategy.\u201c<\/p>\n

Henning Rodekohr, Managing Partner of Vilsa-Brunnen<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Convenience and recyclability<\/h3>\n

In addition to the ecological advantages, the Vilsa Nix-Pack also impresses with its user-friendliness. The 100 per cent recyclable cardboard carriers<\/strong> is robust enough to be 1.5 litre six-pack<\/strong> to transport safely. Handling instructions are printed on the carrier. The adhesive dots are resistant to environmental influences and do not impair the recycling process.<\/p>\n

Retailers are provided with a specially designed Information film<\/strong> to the changeover. The Vilsa Nix packs will be introduced across the board from May 2025, according to the information provided.<\/p>
