Driving Sustainable Packaging Forward

In May, Constantia Flexibles was honored with three WorldStar Packaging Awards at the official ceremony in Milan, hosted by the World Packaging Organization. These prestigious awards recognize excellence in innovation, sustainability, and performance across the global packaging industry.

EcoPeelCover – Smarter Lidding with Less Material
Category: Packaging Materials and Components
Developed by teams in Austria and Germany, EcoPeelCover is an ultra-thin, die-cut lid that reduces material use while maintaining high performance. Created in partnership with Privatmolkerei Bauer, it combines sustainability and efficiency and had already won a German Packaging Award in 2024.

EcoLamHighPlus – Recyclability Made Simple
Category: Packaging Materials and Components
From  their Turkish team at Constantia ASAS, this mono-material laminate offers strong barrier protection and is designed for recycling within existing polyethylene (PE) streams. It replaces hard-to-recycle multi-material structures, helping advance the circular economy.

EcoVer – A Game Changer in Food Packaging
Category: Food
Developed in South Africa with Imana, EcoVer reduced pack layers from 8 to 3, cut material use by 30%, and switched to locally sourced, recyclable materials. With improved shelf appeal and production efficiency, it now supports over 60 SKUs across major retailers—making it the largest pack range launch in South Africa to date.

Celebrating Global Collaboration
These awards showcase their commitment to smarter, more sustainable packaging. They reflect the innovation and teamwork of our global teams and our ongoing mission to deliver high-performance solutions for customers and the planet.

Congratulations to everyone involved!
