Cartocan®: An eco-friendly alternative to aluminium and PET

This innovative packaging design from Ennstal Milch offers a very lightweight, environmentally-friendly drinks container for a variety of liquids ranging from coffee and tea through to wines, cocktails and other non carbonated drinks.

The cylindrical packaging format made from carton board to be filled aseptically with liquid, boasts a shelf-life of up to 12 months unchilled, with the promise that this will not compromise the drinks aroma, colour or taste.

A comparison of the Product Carbon Footprint of packaging for non carbonated drinks made of Cartocan®, aluminium and PET demonstrates significant benefits for Cartocan®. The Carbon Footprint provides information on the total CO2emissions generated by a product. 

• By contrast with PET, the prime advantage of Cartocan® is its weight, which is not even half as much as that of PET.

• The main benefit of Cartocan® as compared with aluminium is in the area of raw materials. The use of 50% renewable raw materials in Cartocan® generates significantly fewer greenhouse gas emissions than in the energy intensive production of primary aluminium (see graph below).

The FSC carton board laminate construction offers a white, natural clean look in addition to the standard aluminium can impersonation and, its cylindrical surface combined with a peel-off lid, provides beverage companies with a wealth of branding space at their disposal.

It will come as no surprise that the eco-friendly Cartocan® is the packaging of choice for premium drink brands such as Naturaplan's bio Botanic Energy drink. With its sustainable materials, carbon footprint control and robustness, Cartocan® is certainly setting a precedent within the current packaging trend for sustainability.

The Alexir Partnership teamed up with Ennstal Milch last year to launch the Cartocan® into the UK market at the Packaging Innovations Show in London.  Following the success of the launch, the Alexir Partnership showcased its new GALAXY Iced Coffee Cartocan® at the Packaging Innovations Show in Birmingham  last week.

Future of Packaging: Flexible or Ecological?

Interpack, the processing and packaging trade fair is taking place in Düsseldorf, Germany from 8-14^th May 2014, where 2,700 exhibitors from more than 60 countries will present their latest ideas, innovative concepts and technological visions for the future of packaging. This includes not only equipment and machinery for packaging and processing, but also production tools for packaging materials, materials themselves, and services for the entire industry.

Bosch Packaging Technology will be unveiling a new range of highly flexible packaging solutions designed to enable quick changeover of packaging styles, sizes and products whilst reflecting the consumer demand for versatility.

"The innovations Bosch will display at Interpack 2014 draw from extensive know-how and are created with maximum flexibility in mind. Our goal is to support manufacturers of all sizes, from small start-ups to large, globally established firms. Bosch's complete solutions for processing, primary and secondary packaging are available as modular lines as well as seamless systems and fulfill numerous packaging needs," says Martin Tanner, director business development and marketing, product division confectionery and food, Bosch Packaging Technology.

Bosch will be showcasing a whole range of machines designed to make quick and efficient flexible packaging for both large and small products, including confectionery, snacks, grains and other food and non-food products. At Interpack, Bosch will also highlight its after-sales services portfolio with a focus on solutions that improve packaging flexibility, machine efficiency and productivity. Machine upgrades and modernisations enable customers to adapt their existing equipment to new market requirements.

Flexible packaging is a huge trend for the future of the packaging industry, but it faces opposition from ecologically sustainable packaging innovations. Interpack has its own forum for special themes for the future called Innovationparc Packaging where exhibitors meet to discuss creative and visionary ideas based on ecological, social and economic themes. This year’s theme is SAVE FOOD, with an aim to develop sustainable packaging concepts with the specific goal of reducing food loss around the globe. Stakeholders in the packaging and food industry will be pitching ideas about how new packaging designs and methods could reduce some of the 1.3 billion tons of food waste every year. This year’s theme is a particular reflection on the industry trend towards more sustainable and ecological packaging. They are recognising the growing consumer trend for reducing ecological impact on the world, and the packaging industry absolutely must reflect this trend in their designs for the future or risk losing out to competitors.

The packaging industry is worth billions of dollars and is a constantly evolving market. In order to stay ahead of the changing trends it’s vital to invest in business intelligence so that you are aware of the actual market situation and prospect for the future. The Industry Report Store has a highly valuable report about the global flexible packaging market, which is essential marketing intelligence for any business requiring strategic insights into the packaging industry.

Public Pressure and The Packaging Industry

Last week we heard that the UK Government is set to introduce new legislation that forces tobacco companies to use plain packaging for cigarettes. This is following months of delays from the authorities who believe that the damage to the industry will be too great a price to pay. Those championing the bill state that it is one of the most important health issues facing our country at the moment. This plain packaging idea is especially aimed at children and young adults, where some believe that the sleek advertising glamorises smoking. Since two thirds of people begin smoking as children, Cancer Research UK has argued that plain tobacco packaging could be “one of the greatest gifts we can give the next generation.”

It’s been over a year since Australia introduced plain tobacco packaging legislation, and evidence from a survey conducted in Victoria is being used to support the UK bill. It found that smokers using standardised plain brown packets were 81% more likely to consider quitting, and that subconsciously smokers associated the packaging with poorer quality products. This research from Australia is also being used to supported legislation changes in India, Scotland, Ireland and New Zealand. India in particular has a huge health incentive to introduce plain packaging, since one third of its population consume tobacco and almost one million people die from cancer caused by smoking or chewing it every year.

There’s no doubting that this would be a step forwards in making us a healthier nation, but the impacts for the packaging industry are likely to be astronomical. Not only will it hit the tobacco industry hard, but it will bring into question the packaging associated with all products that pose a health risk. How long until alcohol will no longer legally be allowed to be advertised as desirable? How far will this packaging-censorship spread? In the future will soft drinks such as Coca-Cola be required to have plain packaging due to its links to diabetes and obesity? That seems far-fetched but if this law is implemented then it sets the precedent for further change to the packaging industry, and none of us know how far that will extend.

These kinds of changes due to public pressure lead to seismic changes in the global packaging industry. Packaging companies need to stay on top of the changes in laws, and in consumer perception in order to keep their business and marketing strategies up to date with the latest information. The Industry Report Store has a range of market intelligence packaging reports to inform businesses about the current market, trends, insights, and challenges for the future. It’s a tough time for any industry, and when government decisions make incredible impacts on the market, it’s essential for any company to keep up with their competitors by being as well informed as possible.
