The demand for packaging that uses fewer different materials and is easier to recycle continues to grow. At the same time, packaging must still protect the product, process efficiently and present it in the right way.
FPC helps customers explore mono-material and recyclable packaging solutions that fit their product, process and sustainability goals.
Finding the right balance
Moving towards a more recyclable packaging solution involves more than simply changing the material. The packaging still needs to perform throughout production, filling, storage, transport and use.
That is why we look at the complete application. Together, we determine which requirements are important and explore a solution that balances:
- Product protection
- Processing and sealing performance
- Strength and functionality
- Appearance and print quality
- Ease of use
- Sustainability goals
- Commercial requirements
Tailored to your application
Every product and packaging process has different requirements. A solution that works for one application may not automatically be suitable for another.
Our specialists therefore consider factors such as the product, packaging format, production process, required performance and intended market. Based on these requirements, we recommend a suitable material structure and production method.
Where technically possible, we explore opportunities to reduce material complexity and move towards a mono-material or recyclable packaging solution.
A wide range of applications
Our flexible packaging solutions are used for a variety of applications, including:
- Food and ingredients
- Snacks and confectionery
- Coffee and tea
- Fresh and frozen products
- Cheese and dairy
- Meat, chicken and fish
- Animal and pet food
- Home and personal care
- Industrial products
Designed with recyclability in mind
Whether packaging can be recycled depends on the complete packaging structure and the collection, sorting and recycling systems available in the relevant market.
For this reason, we avoid a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we work with our customers to develop packaging that meets the required performance while supporting their transition towards more recyclable solutions.
As a member of CEFLEX, FPC contributes to the shared ambition of creating a circular economy for flexible packaging in Europe.
From idea to final packaging
From the first conversation to final delivery, we guide you through the entire process. We discuss your requirements, define the technical specifications and sustainability goals, recommend a suitable solution and coordinate production and quality control.
