Constantia Flexibles Wins Green Packaging Star Award

Constantia Flexibles has been awarded the prestigious Green Packaging Star 

Award by industry magazine KOMPACK for its next-generation ComforLid—a breakthrough in sustainable beverage packaging. This recognition celebrates packaging solutions that demonstrate outstanding environmental responsibility, and ComforLid stands out as a true gamechanger in the fight against single-use plastics.

What Makes ComforLid a Sustainability Standout?

In response to growing concerns around plastic waste and carbon emissions, Constantia Flexibles reimagined the refrigerated beverage lid with a focus on circularity and compatibility:

• Up to 25% plastic reduction by eliminating snap-on lids and straws
• Recyclable materials: aluminum top combined with a coextruded polypropylene layer
• Lower CO₂ footprint: use of Low Carbon Aluminum and downgauging cuts emissions by up to 43%
• No machinery changes required: fully compatible with existing filling lines

Thanks to forward-thinking partners like Schwarzwaldmilch, ComforLid is already making strides in real-world applications—proving that sustainability and operational efficiency can go hand in hand. This award reinforces Constantia Flexibles’ commitment to driving innovation in sustainable packaging and shaping a more circular future for the beverage industry.
