Recyclable Polyethylene Pouch Wins German Packaging Award
The winner of the German Packaging Award in the sustainability category, specifically for Recyclability/design for Recycling, is a de-inkable, recyclable, mono-material polyethylene pouch with barrier properties. This small but innovative pouch was produced through a unique value chain collaboration between Siegwerk, ExxonMobil, Henkel, Kraus Folie, and Windmöller & Hölscher.
A combination of innovative solutions allows for pouches that provide a high oxygen barrier, outstanding package integrity, and excellent shelf-appeal. It produces an almost colorless recyclate after the removal of printing ink and the oxygen-barrier coating layer.
