Wipak Wins German Packaging Award for Sustainable FlexPod™ Solution

18 August 2024

Wipak are thrilled to announce that they have clinched a prestigious German Packaging Award in the Sustainability category for the ground-breaking FlexPod™ solution!

What Is FlexPod™?

FlexPod™ is more than just packaging; it’s a paradigm shift. Crafted with over 95% PE (polyethylene), this innovative solution is designed for recycling and will transform the way we package yoghurt and other perishable goods. Let’s dive into what makes FlexPod™ stand out:

  1. No Component Separation: Unlike traditional packaging, FlexPod™ eliminates the need for consumers to separate components, like cup and lid, for efficient sorting and recycling. It’s a solution that ensures efficient recycling without compromising quality.
  2. Material Efficiency: By using less material, FlexPod™ significantly reduces packaging weight by 15-20%. This reduction and the material choice translates to a lower environmental footprint.
  3. Lower CO2 Footprint: Sustainability is at the core of FlexPod™. Our solution enables a CO2 footprint reduction of an impressive 20-25%, aligning perfectly with our commitment to environmental responsibility.
  4. Consumer Convenience: FlexPod™ isn’t just about sustainability; it’s also about enhancing the user experience. With easy handling and laser perforation for simple opening, consumers get both convenience and a solution that is optimized for recycling.

Celebrating Our Team and Partners

This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without our dedicated team and collaborative partners. Their unwavering commitment to innovation and sustainability has propelled FlexPod™ to the forefront of packaging excellence. At Wipak, we believe that sustainable packaging isn’t just a trend—it’s our responsibility. FlexPod™ exemplifies our vision for a circular economy, where packaging materials are reused, recycled, and regenerated.
