Sonoco, which is enhancing paper content in its packaging to optimize its recyclability. Has contributed to the introduction of recyclable paper cans for Nestlé coffee products.
The new can-body has an innovative recyclable 95% paper-based version. This more sustainable solution replaces the conventional metal bottom with a fiber-based bottom, making the entire can-body fully recyclable across households in the UK and mainland Europe.
Moreover, the recyclable paper can-body not only offers practical benefits such as lightweight design for easy handling and transportation, but it also plays a crucial role in protecting the product while having the same level of high barrier properties as the traditional metal-end can. This innovative packaging solution is making a positive contribution to reducing packaging waste, and also provides the same level of durability and functionality as its traditional packaging.
More importantly though, is the new packaging’s recyclability. The new paper-can meets the UK’s packaging regulations and is recyclable in existing systems across the UK.
Sean Cairns, president Global RPC at Sonoco, “We are proud to have contributed to this latest innovation in the coffee market – a new recyclable paper-end can with medium to high barrier properties. This solution reflects an important step towards more sustainable packaging.”
Cairns adds, “We hope that the success of this project will inspire other companies and brands to embrace more sustainable packaging solutions.”
Sonoco has proudly introduced the 95% paper can, a significant addition to the EnviroCan Paper Bottom range. This innovative packaging solution is designed with sustainability at its core, utilizing 95% paper content to meet the growing demand for eco-friendly alternatives. The EnviroCan Paper Bottom range reflects our commitment to reducing environmental impact by offering packaging that is not only highly recyclable but also minimizes the use of plastic. By integrating more paper into our cans, we are taking a substantial step toward supporting our customers’ sustainability goals and contributing to a more sustainable future.
