GreenChoice by Wipak

The highly commendable paper-based butter wrapper, which won the ‘Innovation in Sustainable Packaging’ award at the IDF Dairy Innovation Awards and was shortlisted for the ‘Best New Concept’ at the UK Packaging Awards, is one of many great examples of the newly developed GreenChoice by Wipak sustainable packaging portfolio.

The portfolio is part of Wipak’s strategy towards carbon neutrality, offering Recyclable, Renewable and Recycled solutions. Recyclable solutions are designed for enhanced recyclability. Renewable paper-based solutions aim for lower plastic share and minimal carbon emissions utilizing FSC® certified paper or ISCC Plus traceable and certified renewable feedstock. Recycled solutions replace virgin raw materials with recycled ones, drastically reducing carbon emissions and use of fossil fuels. Wipak offers packaging solutions with up to 80% recycled PET content, with high barrier characteristics and a carbon footprint reduction of up to 40%. All Wipak solutions can be optimized by Digimarc® digital watermarks, which deliver unique and advanced means of identification, enabling more sustainable, transparent, and secure supply chains. Authenticity and recyclability of a product can be easily verified by mobile scanning.

Through the continuous development of innovative technologies and packaging solutions, Wipak films not only ensure maximum protection of the products but also demonstrate its sustainability commitment for a more sustainable planet. |
