DRIVE & CONTROL PROFILE Pedigree Ovens expands business with Veronica cartoner

P

edigree Ovens (www.thepoundbakery.com, Harvard, IL) is a contract manufacturer in the niche market of high-end dog treats. Baking and packaging products for 60 brands, Pedigree produces an array of treats packaged in cartons of varying sizes and configurations. To do so, it’s critical that its packaging systems be flexible enough to handle high throughput, short turnaround times and fast changeovers between jobs.

The company recently decided to invest in cartoning technology to improve productivity and increase capacity. It chose the compact Veronica Vertical Cartoner from Ultra Packaging, Inc. (www.ultrapackaging.com, Bensenville, IL), which operates with a complete Bosch Rexroth control and drives solution.

OPERATING AT MAXIMUM CAPACITY The market for specialty pet treats is competitive, with

retail shelf space at a premium. Manufacturers need to find ways to stand out from the competition, and eyecatching packaging is an important and successful technique.

While some of Pedigree’s clients use conventional folded top cartons, others request a gable-top closure for improved shelf appeal. In addition, Pedigree supports multiple package dimensions, ranging from 4 to 10.5 inches high, 3 to 9 inches wide and .75 to 3.5 inches deep.

With approximately 60 clients—each with multiple treat types or flavors and up to five packaging variations—Pedigree’s success depends on its ability to meet all client requests.

Until recently, the company used a manual cartoning process to fulfil customers’ needs.

Once treats were bagged, a conveyor brought the filled bags to manual stations where they were inserted into erected boxes. The boxes were then manually sealed with glue guns.

“When we were smaller, we were able to do everything manually,” said Kurt Stricker, owner of Pedigree Ovens. “But when we started getting larger requests, only to turn them down because we didn’t have the cartoning, we knew it was time to expand our limited capacity.”

Rexroth Expertise.

AUTOMATING THE CARTONING PROCESS Eager to boost throughput and enable expansion without adding significantly to costs, Pedigree researched several machines and selected Ultra Packaging’s Veronica cartoner.

The Veronica is a user-friendly seven-axis cartoner that erects cartons from flat paperboard blanks and efficiently transports, closes and glues the cartons.

It is engineered to be a cost-effective solution for growing companies that need fast changeovers and flexibility; key to the Veronica’s versatility is its advanced control and drives platform from Bosch Rexroth.

“Rexroth components help make the Veronica as powerful and as versatile as it is,” said Bob Stockus, owner of Ultra Packaging.“With Rexroth’s components, the Veronica is userfriendly and can be adapted for each user’s needs, while staying within a budget.”

The Veronica uses the IndraMotion XLC motion logic controller, Bosch Rexroth’s premiere platform for motion, robotic, logic and hydraulic control applications, that is programmed according to the PLCopen standard IEC 61131-3. For the Veronica, it provides synchronized motion control on each axis as well as logic programming and features a wide range of open interfaces, including Sercos III, PROFINET and EtherNet/IP. Rexroth’s IndraDrive Mi cabinet-free drive/motor system drives each axis. With drive electronics integrated into the motor housing, servo units can be housed on the

TOP: Ultra Packaging’s Veronica vertical cartoner provides an efficient, compact cartoning solution that was custom-engineered to handle both conventional and gable-top cartons, using Rexroth’s IndraMotion XLC platform for complete automation control and fast changeovers.

RIGHT:Multiple Rexroth IndraDrive Mi cabinet-free drive/motor units drive all the major axes on the machine, including this portion of the machine which closes the carton top, shown here closing a conventional carton. machine itself; this helps make the Veronica a very compact and modular machine that can be easily fit into tight factory workspaces.

The integrated motors and drives offer additional benefits like reduced space and cooling requirements in the control cabinet. This system also reduces the machine’s component cost; a single cable for power and communication runs from the power supply, and each IndraDrive Mi is daisy-chained to the next for significantly reduced cabling.

“Rexroth’s control and drives platform gave us the flexibility we needed,” Stricker said. “It was critical for our dual fold capabilities.”

the carton is erected, the bottom sealed and the product inserted, the Veronica must create gussets on the sides.

The machine has a mechanism that moves up and down on either side of the box to push the sides in. Then the machine applies the glue and folds the flap over the top to create a gable-top closure resembling a milk carton.

The changeovers between conventional and gable folds can be done quickly, thanks to a special sub-assembly Ultra Packaging added to the Veronica for Pedigree.

All the components necessary for each type of fold are grouped together on one plate so the machine operator can change them all at once.

“Rexroth’s control and drives platform provided essential programming capabilities,” Stockus said.“Because VERONICA FACILITATES EXPANSION the Rexroth IndraDrive Mi drive platform is extremely The Pedigree application is the first that uses the Ve- accurate regarding the timing of the drives’ position, we ronica for gable-fold closures, but the cartoner proved were able to accomplish this and keep the changeover extremely well-suited for the job.

While most manufacturers would have two for the Veronica. The conveyor lifts the products about separate systems in place to handle two different folds, six feet to reach the Veronica.

Pedigree can do everything with just one machine.With The Veronica’s first step is to erect each carton and greater capacity for changeovers, the company now does seal the bottom. The product is inserted at a manual up to three a day and 10 to 12 per week, enabling faster production station, and the Veronica then seals the filled turnaround times and greater flexibility. box. For conventional closures, this is the same process as Overall, the automated cartoning process is five to sealing the bottom: The Veronica kicks a flap into place, seven times faster, creating significant improvements in applies glue and kicks the second flap into place. throughput. Five to six people working together with Gable-top closures require an additional step. After the Veronica can package 40 to 60 bags per minute.

And for easier jobs that simply require repackaging into shelf-ready boxes, the team can reach 60 to 70 bags per minute.

“We were able to reduce labor and increase speed immediately, and the return on investment was really quick,” Stricker said. “A job that used to take us three days can now be done in an afternoon. It’s no comparison from before.”

THE FINAL RESULT The Veronica met all of Pedigree’s objectives and exceeded target production rates.The Rexroth XLC controller and IndraDrive Mi drive system provided the modular technology and intelligent automation platform that enabled Ultra Packaging to efficiently modify the Veronica to integrate conventional and gable-top cartons on a single machine.

“New opportunities are key as we grow the company,” Stricker said. “We can definitely look at bigger jobs and larger customers, knowing that we can fill the orders.” He added that Pedigree has recently added a new customer worth several million dollars a year in additional contract packaging revenue—new business that’s a direct result of adding the Veronica to “We pride ourselves in our flexibility, in manufacturing and in packaging,” Stricker said. “That’s where the Veronica’s really helped us. It’d be hard to imagine getting all this work done without the Veronica.” Pedigree’s production operations.

fter the United States abruptly pulled itself out of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change last year, in spite the nearly unanimous international scorn and condemnation, it may have been very tempting for many global corporations with a massive environmental footprint to ease up on their own environmental sustainability initiatives and promises to clean up their act. Happily, some of the world’s leading multinationals had other ideas.

Earlier this year, fast-food giant McDonald’s announced plans to completely eliminate foam packaging from its global operations by the end of 2018, which will provide a massive boost for f ledgling efforts to clean up the world’s oceans being overwhelmed with all manner of packaging waste.

While waste from plastic f lexible packaging and plastic bottles has been getting the lion’s share of blame for the global marine pollution crisis, expanded polystyrene foam is an especially nasty and insidious ingredient in the oceanic garbage depository.

Rarely recycled for any worthwhile end product, at least to date, foam beverage cups and takeout containers break down in indigestible pellets that marine animals often mistake for food, tragically to their own premature demise. Moreover, its hazardous constituent chemical tend to accumulated water-borne toxins in a very short time-frame, which has prompted the International Agency for Research on Cancer to identify styrene as a possible human carcinogen. No wonder the stuff has already been banned in nine countries and more than 100 U.S. cities and counties.

As a welcome complement, McDonald’s has also pledged to make all of its packing 100-percent fiber-based from certified or recycled sources by 2020, compared to the estimated 64-percent level obtained to date.

While there are exceptions for some pre-filled food packaging like unidose packets for sauce and salad dressings, this 100-percent fiber rule will apply to all the cold and hot beverage cups, carry-out bags, folding cartons, clamshells, wraps, foodservice bags, napkins, salad bowls, Happy Meal containers and drink carriers.

According to the company’s website, “McDonald’s priority is to optimize the amount of packaging we use, and to use only sustainably sourced materials that are recyclable or compostable.

“In collaboration with our suppliers, we pursue these priorities in three critical areas: • Design: Optimize weight and simplify the number of materials used in our packaging • Sourcing: Increase use of recycled or certified raw materials; • Recovery: Work to use recoverable packaging with viable end-of-life options.”

While packaging sustainability has been a hot topic for some time now, the foodsevice industry has for the most part glided under that radar of public scrutiny, with some notable exceptions.

With McDonald’s now seemingly fully on-board and committed to the cause, the time is right for all the other players in this vast market, big and small, to do the right thing—for themselves, their customers, and our planet.

DIET COKE LAUNCHES SPARKLING NEW CAN DESIGNS IN A A HEALTHY SNACKING MAJOR BRAND EXTENSION AIMED AT MILLENNIAL CONSUMERS OPTION RIGHT FROM Messing around with a According to Coca-Cola, THE LEFT FIELD good thing is often fraught the switch to sleeker and taller with risk, but after 35 years, the stalwart Diet Coke brand cola beverage of The Coca-Cola Company is embracing change on a truly epic scale in a quest to win over the hearts and minds of millennial consumers through trendier packaging and the most extensive addition of hip new f lavor varieties in an effort to appeal to a broader audience.

Launched across Canada and the U.S. earlier this month, the iconic zero-calorie cola soda is now packaged in taller, slimmer 310-ml aluminum cans, manufactured

by Ball Corporation, featuring updated graphics for the core Diet Coke product and graphically-enhanced, color-coded, direct-printed graphic designs for four exciting bold new f lavors that include Diet Coke Feisty Cherry, Twisted Mango, Zesty Blood Orange and Ginger Lime.

The splashy Diet Coke brand relaunch follows two years of intensive product development and market research that involved interviews and taste tests with over 10,000 millennial consumers, according to CocaCola, along with detailed package redesign work by Coke’s in-house creative team, the brand team and the London, U.K., office of global design specialists studio Kenyon Weston.

“For a design team, the opportunity to rethink such an iconic brand with the scale and reach of Diet Coke— to build on its heritage and create a visual language that will help write its next chapter—is a rare design brief,” says James Sommerville, vice-president for Coca-Cola Global Design. “This visual evolution elevates the brand to a more contemporary space, while still using at its foundation the recognizable core brand visual assets.”

cans is intended to convey the message of the evolution of a brand’s personality to a more confident image projected by a taller, more assertive profile of the shiny scans.

“Anchored by its iconic silver color, the new Diet Coke features a sharper logo, bold colors to represent each new f lavor and a sleek vertical ‘high line’ that extends across all packaging,” notes Carolyn Harty, group director for sparkling brands for Coca-Cola in Canada.

“This visual evolution takes the brand to more contemporary space, while still being anchored in its core recognizable elements.”

Now retailing across Canada as singles and in eightcan variety packs, the four new fruit-infused f lavors were selected from over 30 different recipes that were extensively tested and critiqued by millennials living in large metropolitan areas around the U.S. “We cast a very broad f lavor net after looking at what millennials are eating and drinking, and what food and beverage trends and insights told us,” says Diet Coke senior brand manager Melissa Schwartz.

“We tried everything from spicy notes to exotic superfruits from around the world,” she relates, before finally setting on the four “fruit-forward, but with an unexpected twist” f lavors.

“We took cherry and lime–two very popular Diet Coke f lavors–and gave them a bit of a modern facelift,” Schwartz states. “And we added two completely new tropical tastes not usually associated with the Coca-Cola trademark.

“This new line-up has something for everyone,” she concludes, “and we hope Diet Coke fans love them just as much as we do.”

While most nutritionists will agree that truly healthy potato chips are a great idea that is still waiting to be invented, an innovative snack-food producer in Calgary just may have happily stumbled onto the proverbial next best thing.

Produced by Left Field Foods, the newly-launched SPOKES air-puffed potato snacks are lightly oil-misted and seasoned puffs of light and crunchy potato goodness developed as an entry into the fast-growing BYI (Better-For-You) snack category driven by consumers’ preference for simple ingredients and no preservatives.

“Created by a Canadian mom who wanted a Better-For-You (BFY) snack for her family, SPOKES was born as a result of many years’ work refining product development and consumer research,” explains Left Field Foods chief executive officer Dave Pullar.

“We’re naturally curious, and are always experimenting with new things,” says Pullar, citing the broad variety of tantalizing f lavor variations that include Sea Salt, Mango Habanero, Sea Salt & Vinegar, Barbecue, Dill Pickle, Salt & Pepper, Fiesta Salsa, Sea Salted Caramel and Simply Bare.

Packaged in clean and elegant 80-gram chip bags adorned with simple nature-inspired hand-drawn graphics and folksy type fonts, “The new brand is quickly gaining traction with extremely positive consumer response so far, and for good reason,” says Pullar, citing the product’s exceptionally low caloric intake of only 40 calories per cup.

Produced at a certified peanut-free facility, the gluten-free, nonGMO-certified SPOKES puffs are free of the 11 major allergens such as dairy, wheat, soy and egg.

Retailing across Canada in most natural, conventional and independent grocery and drugstore retailers—including Whole Foods, Kardish, Goodness Me!, Planet Organic, Blush Lane, Safeway, Sobeys (western Canada), Thrifty Foods, Metro (Quebec) and London Drugs—the SPOKES puffs contain no artificial preservatives or colors, transfats or cholesterol.

“Selective about everything we do, we listened carefully to our customers,” Pullar relates. “This is the driving force behind what we do every day—from sourcing simple, quality ingredients to our product innovation and production, to ensuring consumer satisfaction and, above all, creating a naturally delicious taste experience for families to enjoy, without all the bad stuff.”

COVER STORY

SWEET DREAMS ARE MADE OF THIS

Small-town Quebec business thriving in the world of handmade maple syrup candy production with new high-tech packing system

BY ANDREW JOSEPH, FEATURES EDITOR

S

PHOTOS BY MAXIME BERTRAND ynonymous with Canada, maple syrup has been collected and used since pre-European days by the indigenous peoples of North America.

After Europeans in Canada learned of the practice and refined its methods, Canada has become the world’s largest supplier of maple syrup, exporting some $487 million worth in 2016.

The concept of maple syrup was first “discovered”

by Europeans in 1534 when Jacques Cartier on his first voyage to Canada heard about a tasty, delicate sugar that flowed from the trees when tapped with an axe by the indigenous peoples.

Maple syrup is derived from sugar maple and red maple trees that typically take the starch stored within it during the growing season and convert it to sugar.

The sugar combines with water taken in by the tree’s roots, and in the Spring—between late February through early May—when temperatures start to go up, the sweet sap within the trunk and roots of the tree begins to expand. The freezing at night and thawing during the day causes the sap to run, which is then harvested.

While harvesting was done as the aboriginals had done it through the mid-19th century with axe tapping, advancements such as wood and steel spouts, and buckets were introduced.

Nowadays, tubing and reverse osmosis play key roles, as the tubes connect to collector pipes that carry the sap by gravity or pumping to a sugar shack where it is collected in large stainless steel tubs, and sent to an osmosis system before boiling turns it into maple syrup.

The province of Quebec is by far the largest producer of maple syrup in Canada, with some 13,700 companies that are able to process about 110 million pounds of the gooey stuff on average.

Looking like an ice cream treat, the Beaudry maple cones are miniature cones filled with maple butter.

COVER STORY

At the Les Productions Agricoles Beaudry facility located in St-Patrice-de-Beaurivage, Que., the maple sap processor showcases its wide range of products.

Individual packs of flowwrapped maple cones exit the XtraVac B Series flowwrapper at Les Productions Agricoles Beaudry.

While it considers itself to be a small company, Les Productions Agricoles Beaudry Ltee. of St-Patrice-de-Beaurivage, Quebec, is a family-owned business that makes its living creating the Beaudry brand of maple products, selling maple syrup, but mostly producing a host of other sweet delights from the main ingredient.

Founded in 1984, but currently owned by Roger and Denise Beaudry, the reins of the business will be passed down to son Christian and wife Edith Mercier later this year, but will still continue its fine tradition of producing and packaging maple syrup, maple butter, maple taffy, granulated maple sugar, maple fudge, maple cone, maple cotton candy and more, including moving into maple butter chocolate and maple popcorn.

“As you might suspect, everything we produce revolves around maple syrup products,” company director Christian Beaudry told Canadian Packaging magazine during a recent interview.

“The company began processing just maple syrup around 1984,” begins Beaudry noting that at that time bulk maple syrup did not have much value.

“In order to get a better price for the syrup, the current owners decided to transform the company to one that manufactured different products that could be sold directly to customers in various public markets in Quebec City.

“Over the years,” continues Beaudry,“the company has evolved to where we now have seven employees in a 9,000-square-foot processing plant where we produce a wide range of maple-based products for numerous tourist shops as well as for 200plus convenience stores throughout the province of Quebec.”

Les Productions Agricoles Beaudry purchases maple syrup from the Fédération des producteurs acéricoles du Québec, an organization that represents Québec maple syrup producers who produce 72 percent of the world’s supply.

“Every year, we have to obtain the right to be an authorized buyer of maple syrup from the Federation,” relates Beaudry, adding that for quality control purposes each purchased barrel is inspected by an independent quality control company.

He says that their Beaudry brand (Produits d’érable Beaudry) maple syrup products “are of a high quality, but that the company’s main strength over its competitors is our ability to produce a wide range of maple products that they can sell to their customers.

“It enables us to become more of a one-stop-shop for our customers, who no longer need to deal with multiple suppliers,” Beaudry reveals.

At Les Productions Agricoles Beaudry, after the initial quality control is completed,

the maple syrup is heated or boiled at different temperatures to be either bottled— heated and filtered—or processed—boiled and filtered into different products.

After the batch of boiled syrup is cooled, the gooey remnants are brewed to obtain different consistencies, which gives them maple butter, maple taffy, soft maple sugar and more.

“For maple fudge, maple cotton candy and other products,” explains Beaudry,“we have recipes that we make with granulated maple sugar.”

He says that the company’s production line isn’t really automated because its high-quality products are mostly hand-made.

For packaging purposes, however, Les Productions Agricoles Beaudry sought out an automated flowwrapper machine from VC999 Canada Ltd. / Xtravac to increase the packaging speeds of its fudge and maple sugar cone products, as well as looking ahead to eventually use it on other products.

While there is nothing overly special about the type of film used, Gardner says the Les Productions Agricoles Beaudry products required film with a high OTR (oxygen transmission rate) where the oxygen gas permeates through the film relative to specific temperature and humidity within the pack to ensure a long shelf-life.

Additional equipment used by Les Productions Agricoles Beaudry include a Markem-Imaje X40 coder system and a high-quality Primera color label printer featuring a 2,400-dpi (dots per inch) resolution and a high-speed print operation.

The X40 thermal transfer coder provides an advanced coding solution that provides long-term cost control, a green design, greater uptime and great performance.

Capable of print speeds up to 600 mm/second, the X40 uses an intelligent printhead with automatic set-up and dead-dot detection for optimum print quality of 300-dpi resolution.

“We are very happy with the packing success we have achieved with the VC999 XtraVac B Series flowwrapper,” sums up Beaudry.

“Not only has it made our job easier to pack and get the product out to the customer quicker, we have also increased our product’s shelf-life.

“And through it all, we couldn’t be happier with VC999,” he continues.

“We were optimistic when we purchased the system, yet the service we have received from VC999 is exactly what we had hoped we would receive.We are very satisfied with VC999.”

FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT:

T

THE MODULAR ROLLER TOP TRANSFER AND DIVERTING STATION

he modular roller top belt station is a completely new concept for transferring and diverting a wide variety of packages and packaging.

Designed to meet the industry’s needs for diverting, transferring and sorting product, it can solve a range of increasingly challenging transfer and diverting problems complicating operations in distribution centers, particularly retail e-commerce distribution. Using a matrix of freely rotating balls imbedded into a continuous flat belt, the rolling top belt station diverts and transfers products of any kind by using precise, controlled and impact-free motion to divert and transfer products on motorized conveyor lines.

With no auxiliary diverting equipment, its smooth and precise packaging positioning control minimizes packaging impact, and its multipurpose, modular design allows it to be positioned wherever it’s needed within conveyors for any transfer or diverting application. The high degree of motion control comes from the simplicity of the concept: use rotating spheres to convey packaging in any direction, making use of all 360 degrees of potential motion.

The roller top belt embeds a uniform array of independent, 1-inch, on-center spheres on the surface of a continuous, low-profile, gap-free interlocking plastic belt.

Packaging of all types, from standard cartons to small boxes, soft polybags and flat envelopes can be conveyed. The belt and spheres are powered by one or more activated running belts or a rotating disc underneath the station, using motorized drive rollers and controls. By using different configurations of motorized roller belts or discs underneath the roller top belt, and controlling the relative speeds of the different belts, the modular station can be configured to accelerate or decelerate objects, move any object to an angle vector at a given speed, or simply stop and rotate a product into a specific orientation, regardless of the size, shape or composition of the product. No other handling equipment is needed. The roller top belt uses a

minimum of moving parts and has minimal power demands — while providing the flexibility and simplicity of a modular, easily configured and maintained system.

The modular roller top belt addresses the limitations and risks of existing transfer technologies while expanding a distributor’s ability to handle, precisely control, and transfer packaging of all sizes and materials. Although designed for motorized driven roller conveyor (MDR) systems, integrators can also adapt the belts to support other conveyor systems. Roller top belt modules are currently optimized for medium-range conveyor systems to process up to 45 parts per minute, and support for faster systems is in development.

THE INHERENT ECONOMY OF SIMPLICITY Several of the development team’s basic design considerations turned out to have ancillary system benefits beyond precise motion control.The modular belts are made of interlinked and rugged blue acetal, imbedded with spheres made from tough and wear-resistant Polyamide.

The result is high belt strength combined with low friction — at a much lower weight than metal components.

This low weight and friction contribute to a significantly lower power demand. Combined with their smaller, variable speed, run-on-demand motors, modular roller top belt systems can achieve energy savings between 50–60 percent compared to other conveyor transfer systems — in addition to the savings realized by eliminating the labor-intensive step of re-processing small or plastic packages conveyed in tubs.

Another benefit inherent in the belt design is worker safety. With no gaps or pinch points anywhere on the roller-free belt, workers have a much lower risk of injury.

Driven by a variable speed, run-on-demand, 24-volt DC motor, the module is not only energy efficient, but also allows for flexibility and simplicity in wiring and control, safe and quiet operation (>70 dBA), and mini-

mal, easy maintenance. Its modular design allows the belts to be swapped out for repairs or replaced quickly. Motor controls support standalone programming, can interface with a programmable logic controller (PLC) in a customer’s network, or be hardwired into a customer’s preferred control system.

Further cost savings are achieved by simply eliminating the high cost of maintaining fixed lift, pneumatic or Z-direction position feedback systems. It is cheaper, simpler and faster to maintain a spare parts inventory of modular plastic belts that can be replaced in minutes rather than an inventory of pneumatic lifter and compressor systems and spare parts that require hours of downtime for repairs.

Modular roller top belts are available as turnkey units for new lines, or as a retrofit to replace existing systems.

An integrator can install a module simply by removing the existing pneumatic or pusher system and putting the module in its place.

With the logic of its modular design and the simplicity and efficiency of its use of motion control to transfer, divert or channel products, the roller top belt offers distributors significant cost advantages — and multiple directions to increase throughput.

HAPPY BUNNIES

Cascades pulls a rabbit out of a hat with an irresistibly cute and adorable package design graphics created for its new national brand of household tissues

BY GEORGE GUIDONI, EDIITOR

S

tanding out in a sea of white is no easy feat when you’re a white product like toilet paper.

But that does not mean one should stop trying, as Canada’s leading paper products group Cascades Inc. discovered with last year’s highly successful and high-impact launch of the Cascades Fluff & Tuff brand of super-soft and super-strong bathroom tissues.

Capping off more than a year of intense in-house product development and expert packaging design work carried out by the Montreal-based branding specialist Bo Branding & Design, the new toilet paper brand has not only been flying off the retail shelves across Canada, but also garnering serious international accolades for its bold innovation and stunning shelf impact.

In late November last year, the new Cascades brand picked up the Tissue – Innovation Award at the annual Pulp & Paper International Awards gala in Brussels, Belgium, gathering special praise for the product’s market presence and customer satisfaction.

“We launched a line of toilet paper and paper towels that is among the softest and strongest on the market, while maintaining all of the green properties our products are known for,” says Jean Jobin, president and chief operating officer of Cascades Tissue Group in Kingsey Falls, Que. “Our objective was simple: to offer consumers the comfort and performance they’re looking for in a product, while also protecting the environment,” says Jobin, reiterating the company’s long-standing firm commitment to make all of its paper products from recycled paper fibers.

Only launched nationally last March, the new brand has enjoyed not only robust sales growth, according to Cascades, but also remarkable brand recognition and loyalty from Canadian consumers won over by the brand’s cheerful and whole-

some marketing pitch and message.

“We wanted our new and improved products to become the brand of choice for more and more families across the country,” says Jobin, “and we are achieving this goal.

“Convincing the industry of the innovative value of our products and winning over consumers in a matter of months was a considerable but a worthwhile challenge.”

It’s a challenge that also brought out the best in the Bo Branding creative team, which helped Cascades develop the new brand’s adorable Fluff & Tuff bunny mascots strongly featured on new packaging that is worlds away removed from the fairly generic and rudimentary package graphics previously used for the branded

PACKAGE DESIGN Cascades tissue products.

“The new Cascades Fluff and Tuff packaging evokes softness and strength through the use of mnemonic bunny mascots that mesmerize and attract consumers to their glare,” says Mylène Boucher, director of marketing and innovation at Cascades ULC in Candiac, Que. “The accompanying colored backgrounds provide the ideal environment for each bunny to stand out,” Boucher adds, “while providing consumers with an easy identifiable product segmentation system.

“Once on the shelves, these packages become real attention grabbers.”

As Boucher relates,“We wanted to develop a new connection with our consumers and win their hearts with the two bunnies: the cute and puffy Fluff and strong and confident Tuff.

“They both generate passion in different ways,” says Boucher, citing the design’s effective use of soothing, comforting blue, green and pink colors to differentiate between the different subbrands, such as Ultra (soft), Strong, Enviro and Absorbent.

“The organic curves in the graphics, combined with the vibrant colors, really help to convey the product benefits,” she notes, while providing consumers with an easy identifiable product segmentation system.

“The color combinations enable a use of subtle tones that emphasize the various product benefits that both Cascades Fluff and Tuff offer,” says Boucher, citing the inherent challenge of achieving impactful product differentiation in highly competitive product category dominated by legacy brand names and limited format flexibility.

“The key challenge in this category is to stand out against the competition,” she says, “which is why the bunny mascots were developed with large, friendly, softgreen eyes that mesmerize and attract consumers with their stare.”

Whereas the previous Cascades branded household tissues had brand equity more closely to that of a private-label product than a national brand, Boucher says the adorable bunny graphics were readily embraced by the targeted consumer audience across Canada—primarily women in the 35- to 54-year-old age group with young families.

“Since their launch, our rabbits have become so popular that we get thousands of requests week after week from consumers wanting to buy not only our products, but also a stuffed animal version of Fluff and Tuff,” she chuckles.

According to vice-president of marketing and innovation Thierry Trudel, the success of the Fluff & Tuff launch was underpinned “by our diligent development and marketing efforts.”

Says Trudel: “Our teams worked closely together for over two years reviewing each step in the manufacturing process in order to provide the superior quality that Cascades Fluff and Cascades Tuff products deliver.

“No detail was ignored to improve the products for the families, beginning with the manufacturing formula for the paper all the way through to its embossing and packaging,” he says.

“This [PPI] award definitely brings value to everything that we’ve accomplished,” Trudel declares, also noting the new brand picked up a 2017 Davey Award from the Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts (AIVA) for its in-store marketing

campaign. Also selected as a finalist in the annual innovation awards of the Innovation contest of L’Association des Détaillants en alimentation du Québec (ADAC) and the upcoming 2018 PAC Global Leadership Awards competition of PAC Packaging Consortium, the new Cascades Fluff & Tuff brand was also a big winner where it really counts the most—at the store-shelves.

“We are currently on track for 55-percent sales growth compared to a year ago, which is actually four times our initial objective,” beams Boucher.

“We also gained important new distribution among our existing retail customers,” she confides, “while obtaining completely new listings because our trade customers believed in our new image and its shelf impact.

“Our main goal was, of course, to sell more, but also to be positioned where we belong in consumers’ minds, among national brands.

“And after only three months in the market, the Cascades Fluff brand had reached 86-percent awareness among our target consumers,” says Boucher, noting Bo Branding made full use of its creative licence to completely revamp the packs.

“The packaging design was completely remodeled,” she asserts. “In fact, we have nothing left from the previous one, except for the Cascades name that remains our company brand.

“As it existed before, the Cascades household tissue brand was mainly focused on ‘green’ consumers looking for green products,” Boucher explains.

“With this relaunch, we re-engineered the whole product line to answer different needs, while staying true to our sustainable roots, by rebranding everything under the new Cascades Fluff and Cascades Tuff umbrella.

“In doing so, we went from an austere package appealing to a very small group of the population to a fun and engaging image able to reach the vast majority of Canadian consumers,” she says, citing extensive back-and-forth consumer research conducted by Cascades for over a year leading up to the March 2017 launch.

“We undertook multiple consumer studies: both qualitative and quantitative in nature,” Boucher recounts. “We started with a completely different set of ideas and adjusted to consumer feedback along the way, making this an interactive process.

“While this added time to our product development,” she acknowledges, “it ultimately ensured success in the market.”

Says Boucher: “One of the key things we learned from this project is that consumers want to see the actual product: the whiteness of the paper, the design of the embossed pattern and the overall quality of the product.

“They spoke, we listened, and in the end we delivered bright and colorful packaging with the essential transparent zones to achieve remarkably strong market presence and shelf impact.”

one easily-integrated station could divert, transfer, and sort?

At Regal®… the MODSORT® station can solve your transfer and diversion problems.

The MODSORT station is an innovative low-noise, low voltage modular transfer and diverter station. It can easily integrate with new or existing material handling systems, eliminating the need for a lift, pneumatics, or Z-direction position feedback devices, and can help achieve energy savings from 50-60% when integrated with a motorized roller-based system.

MODSORT utilizes System Plast® 2253RT Roller Top Belt featuring a 1-inch on-center sphere array, allowing very small packages to be moved. Motorized Drive Rollers and controls allow flexibility in wiring, the ability to move everything from exceptionally small polybags to boxes, and safe, efficient, quiet and low-maintenance operation.

BUILDING BETTER CONNECTIONS A A Message from PAC President & CEO

s the packaging industry’s vital partner, PAC Packaging Consortium is proud and pleased to launch the inaugural issue of our PAC Connect magazine—created to showcase PAC and our industry thought-leaders with their insightful views on world-class package design, forwardlooking trends, breakthrough innovations and packaging sustainability.

For someone who has dedicated 50 years of my working life to this dynamic industry—having made my first “cold call” in May of 1968 walking into the factory office of the Continental Can Company, at the time the largest packaging company in the world—this publication represents an important personal and professional milestone.

My initial introduction to the former Packaging Association of Canada (PAC) took place in the early 1970s when I attended my first PAC seminar at the former Skyline Hotel in Toronto. That’s where I discovered the significant persuasive power of networking after hours in a bar, which is where a lot of sales and deals were made back in those days.

I became more closely involved with the PAC during the 1980s by becoming a PAC director and chair of the Ontario Chapter, followed by an invitation to join the group’s Board of Directors.

After spending most of the 1990s living in the U.S., I eagerly rejoined the PAC board in 2004, relishing the opportunity to give back to the association and the industry that provided an excellent career for me and my family.

In May of 2006 I volunteered my services for a 90-day interim CEO term to pull the association back from the brink of bankruptcy and extinction—a position I have been honored to fill to the best of my abilities ever since.

I firmly believe that PAC is still the best place to connect with industry leaders, and the launch of PAC Connect is just the latest of many PAC initiatives designed to helping you advance your own personal and business agenda.

Having rebranded the PAC name and modernized its logo to serve the needs of the international marketplace, we have successfully initiated and delivered several important programs of truly global significance to our industry.

This includes the development of IFS PACsecure—a global packaging food safety protocol now covering over 160 certified plants, including those operated by some of the world’s largest packaging companies such as International Paper and Amcor.

As the sustainable packaging movement became entrenched throughout the global packaging value chain, our formation of the PAC NEXT working group in 2011 addressed the urgent imperative for the industry to boost recycling rates and reduce recovery costs.

More recently, we were deeply involved in the formation of the intelliPACK partnership to advance the use and application of smart packaging technologies in the

PAC CONNECT 2018

mainstream consumer markets. In this light, the launch of PAC Connect is a logical extension of our ongoing global efforts to stay relevant and engaged.

This expression of sentiment would not be complete without the acknowledgment of three world-class organizations that have substantially influenced my career, including Molson Coors, Procter & Gamble (P&G) and Walmart. Today, two of these global enterprises have PAC board of director representation—one current chair and one past chair—with the third actively engaged across a broad range of PAC activities.

As a reflection of these activities, this issue of PAC Connect addresses several important themes that are close and dear to our heart, including: Marine Pollution. Acknowledging the joint efforts by P&G and TerraCycle in the development of the world’s first shampoo bottle made with recycled plastic collected from beaches around the world.

Design Innovation. While our own PAC Canadian Packaging Awards trace back to 1952, our relatively new PAC Global Leadership Awards competition now enters its third year, which we mark with an extensive article detailing how three international brand agencies have leveraged their design excellence to crate packaging for three recent Best of Show Award winners.

Food Waste. We look at how leading coffee producers are developing their unique environmentally-friendlier single-serve coffee capsule solutions that address the monumental global issue of food waste.

Circular Economy. We look at how leading beverage carton producers are working towards the shared goal of lowering the industry’s global environmental footprint and conserving the planet’s resources.

Having in some ways reached the pinnacle of my career with a 2014 induction into the Packaging Hall of Fame by the U.S.-based PMMI-The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies—becoming the first Canadian to join this elite group of 160-plus packaging career professionals—I feel exceptionally honored today to be a part of PAC and the wonderful industry it serves.

My 50 years in the packaging business have been a wonderful chapter in my life’s journey, and I am forever grateful to everyone who has helped me along the trail.

Together, no wall is too tall.

James D. Downham, President & CEO, PAC Packaging Consortium

THE ART OF WINNING

Raising the bar for package design excellence helps consumer brands compete and thrive in the new disruptive retail landscape

BY GEORGE GUIDONI, EDITOR

F

or today’s package designers, producing a package to protect a product is often the starting point of a creative journey to engage the brand with modern-day consumers who increasingly judge a package on what it means and represents almost as much for what it contains.

The late great Apple founder Steve Jobs once deftly observed that “Packaging can be theater, it can create a story,” and for all the new ways that leading consumer brands have at their disposal to make their sales pitch, there is still no substitute for actually having a good story to tell on the product’s packaging.

In the Canadian food industry, one of the biggest stories of the past decade has been the meteoric growth of the yogurt product category that helped many innovative dairy producers to thrive in spite of the fairly flat growth for dairy products as a whole.

Nowadays retailing in a dizzying array of flavors, sizes, textures and styles, it is hardly surprising that the North American consumers’ blossoming renaissance with yogurt products has coincided with some groundbreaking design work done by companies like the Mississauga, Ont.-based branding services agency Davis.

According to the company’s president Ron Davis, taking on the challenge of updating an existing package design of the popular iÖGO range of yogurts, produced by the Montreal-based dairy products group Ultima Foods, was a thorough test of the company’s creative prowess and credentials.

Featuring engaging new packaging design and graphics developed by leading Canadian branding and package design services provider Davis, the iÖGO brand of Ultima Foods was the Best of Show winner at last year’s Canadian Leadership Awards competition.

PAC president and chief executive officer James Downham (left) presenting the 2016 Best of Show Global Leadership Award to Ronald de Vlam, founder of the Webb deVlam group of companies, for the outstanding package design work on the Grant’s Elementary range of whiskies.

Taking about eight months to complete, the project had to navigate through a vast realm of interlinked nuances, talking points, design elements and a multitude of other critical variables one would expect from a growing brand family comprising more that 100 different SKUs (stock-keeping units), according to Davis.

“The yogurt category is one of the most complicated, with lots of new innovation and changing consumer preferences,” Davis explains, citing the broad range of packaging formats— including bottles, tubs, pouches and cartons—entailed in the packaging refresh for the brand.

Launched across Canada in 2014, the iÖGO brand quickly became a brick seller and category leader in the Canadian marketplace, with its distinctive playful graphics and lettering helping create a lot of positive buzz at the shelf level and in the dairy aisles.

But with initial excitement of the launch slowly fading, Davis was brought onboard in 2015 to inject some additional marketing momentum into the brand for a comprehensive rethink of the original packaging elements, without a radical departure from the basic premise of emphasizing the product’s superior flavor, freshness and the use of real natural ingredients.

“So our challenge was to deliver this in a way that was distinctive at shelf and distinctively iÖGO,” Davis recalls.

“The previous design did a great job of communicating iÖGO at the shelf by being playful and distinctive,” Davis says, “but as the brand innovated, some new product lines and offerings were not being found at the shelf.

“With a highly unified design system, the different products looked too similar,” he says, “which limited consumer awareness and shoppability of distinct product lines.”

With the creative use of Germanic umlauts in the iÖGO brand name acknowledged as a key graphic branding element to draw the attention of children and their parents to the single-serve iÖGO Nano products intended for the younger

PAC CONNECT 2018

demographics, Davis decided to reinforce the brand’s identity by extending the iÖGO typography into the brand’s products aimed at adults.

“The redesign focused on the shoppability concern,” explains Davis, citing the identified need for a more holistic approach that would also allow the individual iÖGO subbrands to have their own say on the shelf for more effective distinction between the category segments.

“The brand had to retain its prominence,” he says, “but we also needed to create awareness of the multiple segments the brand was delivering to the market.

“The fact is that iÖGO is not a ‘kids-only’ or ‘classic yogurt’ brand,” he notes, “and so the new system needed to clearly communicate the brand’s vast variety of offerings to the consumers.

“With one of the largest ranges of products in the yogurt category, iÖGO’s offering required a powerful and consistent brand platform to create a unified masterbrand, while at the same time be able to strongly differentiate the various product lines—like Probio, Greek and Nano—to help consumers shop the category,” says Davis, noting the various creative possibilities offered by the hip lettering in the iÖGO name, specifically the triple-dot accent effect over the first two letters of the brand name.

“As the most recognizable part of the iÖGO identity, the umlauts were the inspiration for the final design system and a critical unifier at shelf,” Davis explains.

“All packs leverage an “umlaut” in some way—be it encircling the O of iÖGO in the core line, or housing the iÖGO brand logo in the more specialized offerings.”

Adds Ultima Foods vice-president of marketing Simon Small: “While the original iÖGO packaging was not broken, we knew there was tremendous potential if we could dial up landmarking on shelf, as well as articulating the subbrands and special offers.

“We selected Davis for their category, architecture and design insight,” Small relates, “and they proved to be a tremendous partner as we challenged ourselves and previously perceived brand assets, not to mention timelines, to deliver simply stunning results.”

Fittingly, those results drew the highest possible praise in the Canadian packaging industry several months ago, with the redesigned iÖGO packaging being recognized with the PAC Best of Show award in the 2017 Canadian Leadership Awards national packaging competition of the country’s leading packaging industry group PAC Packaging Consortium.

According to Davis, “The iÖGO brand is a great example of mastering tensions in branding.

“When you get that right on you get the ‘dramatic simplicity’ you need to help the brands achieve maximum impact with minimum effort.

“Designing to balance that tension achieved strong business performance for Ultima Foods,” Davis relates.

Ultima’s Simon Small concurs: “The brand and pack restructure was a tremendous project on many fronts—most importantly, results.

“The Davis team delivered a highly shoppable refresh with a disruptive restructuring of the portfolio that resulted in improved store and in baseline sales.”

If helping consumers navigate the shelf easier and livelier is a hallmark of effective package design, then the London office of global brand and package design services group Bulletproof has certainly raised the bar with its stunning packaging update for the premium-quality PizzaExpress brand of chilled take-home pizzas retailing in the U.K. Selected as winner of the Best of Show Brand Marketing Award in last year’s PAC Global Leadership Awards competition of PAC Packaging Consortium, the stylish litho-printed carton board sleeve pizza boxes ooze with upscale sophistication created by a masterful blend of vivid colors, life-like product photography, witty messaging and high-end matt, gloss and foil finishes to create an irresistible visual hook at the shelf level.

Nowadays operating over 500 restaurants across the U.K, Europe, China, India and the Middle East, brand-owner PizzaExpress was founded in London’s trendy Soho district in 1965 by Peter Boizot, a well-traveled reporter with a fierce passion for Italian cuisine.

With the original Soho location still widely revered by local and traveling foodies to this day, the company’s eventual entry into the retail market was a natural step for an iconic brand celebrating its 50th anniversary, but its initial foray onto supermarket shelves did not live up to high expectations.

“When PizzaExpress approached Bulletproof to redesign their retail range,

take-home chilled and frozen pizza growth in the U.K. had slowed to two per cent, compared to 4.2 per cent for the year before,” says Bulletproof ’s global creative director and partner Nick Rees, noting that private-label pizza brands accounted for a giant 87.5-percent share of the entire chilled-pizza segment.

“The lack of standout shelf impact and unclear navigation was hitting premium brands, including PizzaExpress, particularly hard.”

As Rees relates, “The PizzaExpress brand targets affluent 24- to 45-year-old consumers from the southeast of England with a taste for the finer things in life.

“We characterized them as ‘Social Life Jugglers’—sociable, outgoing consumers who seek quality convenience, prefer food with an authentic story, and view taste and freshness as paramount,” Rees explains.

To reach this coveted demographic, Bulletproof was briefed to redesign the PizzaExpress ‘At Home’ range as part of a new one-brand strategy that would: • Deliver a consistent retail brand identity to attract restaurant customers; • Bring to life the passion, flair and taste of the restaurant experience to home; • Entice new customers through stronger shelf visibility; • Deliver premium packaging to help justify the higher price point and encourage purchase off-promotion; • Create a tiered design system for classic and premium ranges, with options for future new product development and brand expansion; • Develop clear and coherent flavor navigation at a range level, while ensure a consistent visual identity across multiple product ranges including pizza, bread, pasta and dressings.

Working closely with the client and key packaging suppliers, it took the Bulletproof team about 10 months to complete the extensive and complex project involving a launch of two new pizza variants—Classic and Romana—as well as complementary toppings and side-dishes like garlic bread.

By all accounts, it was time very well-spent, according to Rees.

“Throughout the whole redesign, we were heavily involved in the print process— from early initial key meetings with suppliers to attending print runs—which really helped to enforce our vision for the finished product,” he recounts. “Having a really supportive client working closely and collaboratively with us on every stage of the process helped immensely,” Rees states, noting the extra degree of complexity of meeting varying launch deadlines for the PizzaExpress Classic and PizzaExpress Romana product ranges.

“Each of the product ranges had a different lead-time, so we carefully managed the creative process to ensure the design development was considered holistically, and consistently, throughout,” he says.

“In the end, this helped achieved an impactful launch of the revamped PizzaExpress retail offering that will stand the test of time.”

Once launched, the new nine- and 12-inch PizzaExpress cartons generated immediate impact and excitement in the chilled and frozen food aisles, Rees relates.

“We captured the heritage and exuberance of the PizzaExpress story with a masterbrand proposition which heroed the core assets of the brand,” Rees explains, “while also leveraging the warmth, passion and artisanal detailing of the restaurant experience.

“The bold colorways for PizzaExpress Classic made for easier, more convenient navigation at the shelf level,” he expands, “while the handwritten typography was designed to feel authentic, yet playful and approachable.

“The new packaging helped creating a beacon of color in-store,” he says, “capturing the warmth and approachability of the PizzaExpress brand and demanding consumer attention by flexing the background color to reflect each flavor variant— creating a sea of color in the chilled pizza fixture.

“It’s a world away from the darker, more recessive color palette of the previous packaging,” says Rees, noting the intentionally downsized cutout windows on the front panel of the box to display the contents.

“Shunning category norms for large product windows, we significantly reduced the size of the windows on our pizza packaging, instead using our mouth-watering photography to showcase that these pizzas contain the same fresh, delicious ingredients enjoyed in PizzaExpress restaurants,” he explains.

“Moreover, we used the smaller on-pack windows to enhance the cartons’ structural integrity,” Rees points out.

“The previous pack with larger windows was structurally weak and, as a consequence, was susceptible to tearing.”

As for the companion PizzaExpress Romana range, comprising six tantalizing recipes, “We looked to incorporate special finishes, such as gloss varnishing and foiling, to make the new packaging feel more premium from a value-added perspective.

“We selected a black palette for the Romana range, with product color introduced through typography to clearly communicate the variant,” he explains, “while using silver foil on the branding logo, as well as matt and gloss varnish, to further ‘premiumize’ the packs.”

Rees says the new Romana boxes enabled PizzaExpress to earn a listing with the U.K. supermarket giant Tesco, helping the brand to tap into a vast new first-time consumer base and fuel a robust sales surge for the entire product range.

In the 12 weeks following the retail launch of the new packaging, the sales of PizzaExpress pizzas showed a 17-percent increase, representing an additional 1.15 million pizzas sold through the grocery channels.

Similarly, PizzaExpress brand breads enjoyed 3.2-percent volume growth in the 10 weeks after the relaunch.

“One of the key objectives of the relaunch was to increase cross-purchase within the PizzaExpress portfolio,” Rees reveals, “which was achieved in conjunction with a joint promotional and marketing push.

“Compared to pre-relaunch, 634,020 more PizzaExpress shoppers per year now choose to purchase a PizzaExpress side of bread with their PizzaExpress pizza— that’s a huge increase of 394 per cent.”

All in all, PizzaExpress earned an additional £10.85 million ($18.8 million) in retail sales since the relaunch,” says Rees, with first-time buyers driving a lot of that growth.

“The relaunch has been integral to achieving the brand’s ambitious growth targets without a need to resort to a price promotion,” Rees points out.

“But perhaps the most impressive contributor to the brand’s increased distribution is the new logical design system that facilitates speedy rollout of new product

development to new distribution channels in a way previously inaccessible to the brand.”

While the aforementioned PAC Global Leadership Awards competition is only entering its third year in 2018, it had already drawn an impressive number of entries and interest from many leading global brandowners to warrant it being an annual event, according to PAC president and chief executive officer James Downham.

Partly inspired by the consortium’s biennial Canadian Leadership Awards competition that segments competing entries according to packaging type and format—flexibles, rigid, label, etc.—it primarily focuses on brand design, marketing and innovation, regardless to the type of packaging structure employed.

At its inaugural awards gala two years ago in Bonita Springs, Fla., the iconic Scottish whiskey and scotch distiller William Grant & Sons picked up one of the contest’s two first-ever Best of Show prizes with a stunning entry for the Grant’s Elementary range of whiskies produced exclusively for the so-called Global Travel Retail (GTR) channels, whose total sales were estimated at US$63.6 billion in 2016.

Developed by the U.K office of the global branding design services provider Webb deVlam, the sixmonth packaging redesign project involved taking the existing Grant’s packaging landscape and finessing it to address very unique requirements of the GTR retail environment.

“We had to be smart with the selections we used and how we dressed them up in order keep the project within budget,” recalls John-Paul Hunter, head of

PAC CONNECT 2018

Design at Webb deVlam’s London office, “but the important factor here was not to see this as negative but as a creative challenge.

“It gave us some clear guardrails to work within,” Hunter explains, “and we had a positive working relationship with the production team to ensure that we could successfully execute our creative vision.”

Because the global whiskey industry is highly diversified and segmented in a multitude of categories defined by point-of-origin, aging process, blending techniques and many other differentiators, creating a unifying packaging theme while allowing for each product to shine on its own merit was a formidable and sweeping undertaking.

As Hunter relates,“Webb deVlam always approaches creative challenges from a consumer point of view, so we had to secure access to different airport retail environments, store managers and sales teams, as well as the consumers themselves.

“This gave unparalleled insights into how to create differentiated product appeal and how to visually catch the eye in the incredibly unique shopping arena,” says Hunter, describing the targeted consumer audience as adventurous and affluent jetsetters seeking an “enlightening” experience from their preferred brands.

Comprising the six-year-old Grant’s Elementary Carbon, eight-year-old Grant’s Elementary Oxygen, and the 29-year-old Copper blends, the new range brilliantly employed the Periodic Table of chemical elements as a core unifying theme “to celebrate the science behind whiskey-making,” he points out.

“Each age statement reflects that number in the Periodic Table and the material element is utilized in that particular product’s distilling process,” Hunter explains.

“So Oxygen is distilled under vacuum to create a crisper, smoother drink,” he relates, “while charring the inside of the oak barrels gives Carbon a distinctive smoky flavor.

“For its part, the exclusive 29-year-old, Copper celebrates the sacrificial copper rings which remove harshness to create unparalleled smoothness,” Hunter extols.

“Each product was visually nuanced with the right level of premium cues aimed at the following segments as part of a confident storytelling side-step that would consciously avoid the usual references to provenance and artisan craftsmanship,” says Hunter.

“By demystifying the storytelling around modernday whiskey production, the brand appears transparent whilst promoting its innovative techniques,” he states.

“The Elementary range purposefully uses disruptive color-ways, finishes and age statements to create immediate shelf standout in the busy GTR channel,” says Hunter, noting that soon after its launch Grant’s Elementary won the Best-of-Show award in the highly prestigious Cannes Travel Retail Awards competition, garnering high praise for its inspired packaging excellence.

As he concludes, “Grant’s Elementary is a key piece of work in the continuing goal to make Grant’s a relevant option for today’s whiskey audience.”

Many cheers to that!

SINGULAR SOLUTIONS Packaging innovation helping to address environmental concerns and public notoriety brewing over the popular single-serve coffee pods

BY MARY DEL CIANCIO

S

ingle-serve coffee systems are found in many homes across Canada thanks, in large part, to the convenience and variety they offer consumers.

However, the single-serve coffee pods used in these popular systems have been the subject of much criticism in recent years due to the increased amount of packaging waste associated with them.

The pods haven’t typically been compostable or recyclable in municipal food waste programs, so they often end up in landfills—a major concern in today’s landscape characterized by growing emphasis on environmental sustainability, responsibility and awareness.

The good news is that single-serve coffee pod manufacturers have been working tirelessly in recent years to develop innovative, sustainable packaging that addresses these concerns. Several options—both compostable and recyclable— are already available on store shelves across the country, with more rolling out every day.

Club Coffee, a major Canadian roaster, contract manufacturer and distributor of packaged coffees, believes that it has the solution to single-serve waste—its

All key components used in the assembly of Club Coffee’s PurPod100 single-serve coffee capsules are made from certified compostable materials that fully biodegrade in about five weeks.

PurPod100, the world’s first certified 100-percent compostable pod.

The Toronto-based company launched PurPod100 back in 2016 after testing it in municipal and industrial composting facilities—tests which proved that the eco-friendly pod could break down in as little as five weeks in aerobic composting processes, which is faster than many other food waste products.

The PurPod100 is certified by the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) and meets ASTM International’s Standard D6868 for compostability, which means that it can disintegrate within an established period of time, produce compost that enables plant growth, and is safe for the environment.

And the pod can do all of this thanks to its innovative, award-winning packaging design and composition.

The PurPod100’s lid is made from a combination of paper and other compostable materials, as well as compostable inks; the ring—result of a collaboration between Club Coffee and the University of Guelph’s Bioproducts Discovery and Development Centre—is made from a unique compostable blend of coffee chaff (the husk of the coffee bean) and bio-resins (plantbased plastics); and the mesh filter holding the coffee is made from renewable, bio-based materials.

The entire unit is compostable, a feat which has won the PurPod100 accolades for sustainable packaging and innovation in bioplastics from leading trade associations and publications.

Leading brands, such as President’s Choice and McCafe, have also taken notice and adopted the format to house their popular coffees.

This is a win-win for consumers who get to enjoy the coffee they love, the convenience of being able to compost the entire pod, and the peace of mind knowing that waste isn’t going to a landfill.

“We’re delivering what consumers have made very clear they want—the same great coffee experience but with bio-based ingredients that

make it simple for them to dispose of with other food waste,” says Solange Ackrill, Club Coffee’s vice-president of marketing.

“We are in front of a growing green wave of innovation because we worked with partners in the academic and business worlds to find and implement fundamental changes, like using coffee chaff that used to go to waste ... these pods are small but they’ve had a big impact.”

Keurig Green Mountain, a leader in innovative, single-serve brewing systems, has focused its efforts on recyclable pods. The company introduced its first recyclable K-Cup pods in the U.S. and Canada back in 2016, and has committed to making 100 per cent of its K-Cup pods in Canada recyclable by the end of 2018, and in North America by the end of 2020.

“When it comes to the single-serve pods, certainly the most visible challenge to the segment, and to our company, is making sure that those pods can be responsibly disposed of and have a second life,” explains Monique Oxender, chief sustainability officer at Keurig Green Mountain.

Previously, the company’s single-serve pods were manufactured from Number 7 plastic, which is not widely accepted for recycling.

After examining several options, the company decided that producing its K-Cup pod using recyclable polypropylene Number 5 plastic was the best solution for its customers and the environment.

More specifically, Keurig is using white polypropylene because there is more that can be

hen looking at the environmental impact of packaging, it’s important to consider the entire life cycle of the product it protects, including how it’s grown, how it’s shipped, how it’s manufactured, how it’s stored and how it’s used by the consumer at home, says Rachel Morier, director of sustainability for PAC Packaging Consortium.When you consider all of these factors, she says, single-serve coffee offers many advantages.

In fact, PAC decided to investigate the entire life cycle of coffee and learned that the majority of the coffee footprint is in the production and preparation of the coffee, with only 15 per cent of the overall footprint attributed to packaging. Its 2015 report, titled Life Cycle Assessment of Coffee Consumption, compared a standard bulk brewed system with a hot plate to a standard Keurig system using the KCup format to determine which had a better environmental performance.

It found that if the consumer brewed the exact amount of coffee and consumed all of that coffee, there was very little difference in the environmental footprint between the two when you consider that the standard bulk brew Rachel Morier, system uses more electricity and water.

Director of Sustainability, PAC Packaging Consortium However, if the consumer prepared too much coffee or had to dispose of it due to loss of freshness, the footprint of a bulk brew system increased significantly.

“We still see there’s an opportunity to reduce packaging waste,” Morier says, “but at the same time being mindful that there is actually some benefit to having a single-serve system, depending on how consumers consume their coffee.”

According to Nespresso Canada’s Caroline Duguay, single-serve capsules definitely suffer from an image problem rooted in insufficient public awareness of the larger issues at work.

“People often believe that packaging waste is the greatest environmental impact of coffee,” Duguay says, “but most studies show that coffee farming and the processes involved with roasting and brewing represent the majority of a coffee cup’s carbon footprint.

“One major benefit of portioned coffee is that it minimizes wasted resources,” Duguay states. “Because our precision technology uses only the exact amount of coffee beans, water and energy needed to brew a single cup, it saves resources, reduces waste and minimizes the carbon footprint.

“Moreover, many studies that analyze the environmental impacts of coffee brewing methods have found that portioned products can be a more sustainable option than alternatives such as filter coffee,” Duguay adds.

“When brewing filter coffee at home, people often use more resources than necessary by making make coffee in excess—using more grounds, water and energy than needed,” she points out.

“There’s also the energy used to run the hot-plates continusly to keep coffee warm,” she notes, “and whatever is left over ultimately just gets lost down the kitchen sink.”

made from it, which allows the company to contribute to the circular economy, keeping resources in use for as long as possible.

The user simply has to peel away the lid, remove the grounds for composting, and place the plastic pod in the recycling bin.

“Our commitment is recyclable and recycled: We want to see it go all the way through the system,” says Oxender.

GENTLE HANDLING

In order to ensure that these new pods can “go all the way through the system” and that they aren’t too small to be captured and diverted to the appropriate area, the company completed field tests at recycling facilities across North America using RFID (radio frequency identification) technology to track its pods.

Following these tests, Keurig discovered that the pods are not too small and, on average, make it to the correct recycling container line 90 per cent of the time.

For its part, Montreal-headquartered Nestlé Nespresso Canada has based its capsule sustainability strategy on the inherent recyclability of aluminum used to manufacture its single-serve capsules.

“Not only is it the best material to protect the quality of our coffee,” says the company’s communications director Caroline Duguay, “but it is also infinitely recyclable.

“Indeed, 75 per cent of all aluminum ever produced is still in use today,” says Duguay, adding the company goes through great lengths to collect all the coffee grounds during the recycling process to make nutrient-rich compost.

As she relates, “Our capsules are 100-percent recyclable, and we have put in place a local recycling system to collect capsules with minimal efforts for our consumers.

“They do not need to empty the capsule: they simply have to put the used capsules in a bag provided by Nespresso and return the bag via one of our different recycling options available across the country.”

s leading Canadian suppliers of singe-serve coffee pods, PAC members Club Coffee, Keurig, Mother Parkers and Nestlé Nespresso are teaming up in a joint project aimed at enhancing the sustainability and environmental profile of this packaging format.

The key aim of this project will be to find practical answers to the following questions: • What factors are involved in consumer decisions regarding disposal of coffee pods?

• What are the optimal ongoing ways for coffee brands to influence disposal outcomes?

• How do brands best communicate to consumers what they should

PAC CONNECT 2018

These options include a drop-off at one of 51 Nespresso-operated boutiques across Canada and, depending on availability, through municipal waste collection programs a special “red-bag” return program with Canada Post, and a special at-home recycling program administered by TerraCycle Canada.

“From then, Nespresso takes care of the rest,” Duguay says. “The bags are collected and sent to our recycling partner, the coffee grounds are separated from the aluminum, and both are given a second life.”

Adds Nespresso Canada president Luc Valleix: “We know how important it is to reduce our environmental footprint and provide simple and accessible recycling solutions for our Club Members.

“We are particularly proud to be able to offer an innovative recycling service in collaboration with local partners. “ As Valleix makes it clear, developing innovative packaging is only part of the big picture.

The bottom line is that consumers must dispose of the packaging properly in order to see the maximum environmental benefit and not contaminate the various wastestreams—namely by not putting compostable pods in a recycling bin and recyclable pods in a compost bin.

This requires a change in the behavior of the consumers, many of whom have grown accustomed to simply throwing the pods in the garbage.

Communication is naturally key to solving this dilemma, but spreading the word is not just the responsibility of the manufacturers alone.

“It’s got to be a combined voice,” says Oxender. “We are also reaching out

to and very much willing to work with communities so that it’s a common voice coming from the municipality and the brands about how to recycle the pods.

“And [we are] also open to working with other pod manufacturers to make sure we can minimize that confusion out there around ‘What do I do with this pod?’

“Having common and very clear, succinct instructions will be key across the entire industry segment.”

Rachel Morier, director of sustainability for PAC Packaging Consortium, agrees: “For single-serve coffee companies to make successful packaging that is sustainable, it’s not theirs alone to solve.

“It requires cooperation from everyone. It requires cooperation from the consumer. It requires cooperation from waste handlers and municipalities.”

Indeed, collaboration is critical, adds Club Coffee’s Ackrill.

“We have learned much more than we expected about sustainable packaging solutions when we started down this path. One of the big lessons has been the value of collaboration with experts to find the best ways to meet the needs of our customers and consumers,” she says.

“We all have a stake in finding better ways to address environmental concerns about waste.”

Through collaboration, continued innovation and an increased emphasis on sustainable packaging, the single-serve coffee sector is making major strides in ensuring that its customers have a solution that they can feel good about—a solution that’s better for their families and the environment.

do with their pods after use so that those consumers dispose of them properly?

Current thinking envisions the project as first analyzing the issues surrounding the disposal of single serve pods through secondary research and primary research, followed by application of that analysis to design a survey tool to test consumer understanding and decision-making regarding disposal of coffee pods.

Finally, to test different approaches to consumer education, such as in terms of package information, in-store information and information provided by compost manufacturers such as municipal solid waste programs.

The result would be a new body of applied and evidence-based knowledge about how best to inform consumers about product innovations and packaging options and how best to maximize appropriate disposal by consumers of compostable and recyclable products, when both are in use, in local solid waste programs.

SMART AND SMARTER

The promise of intelligent packaging inches nearer to practical everyday reality in keeping pace with the fast-changing retail landscape

BY GEORGE GUIDONI, EDITOR

I

n today’s fiercely competitive global retail environment, packaging must do far more than simply protect the container’s contents and draw eye contact with the passerby shoppers.

Increasingly, new considerations of extended shelf-life, improved product and brand security, greater transparency and full product traceability are driving robust global demand for technology-based packaging and labeling solutions to validate product authenticity, deter counterfeiting, monitor freshness and track environmental conditions—just for starters.

It’s all part of the larger goal of ensuring a more positive consumer experience from the moment of purchase—be it at the store or a home delivery—to eventual disposal of the package, preferably in the most environmentally-friendly way possible.

According to a recent report published by Allied Market Research, the global smart packaging market size is estimated to reach nearly $38 billion by 2022, growing at a brisk annual rate of 6.9 per cent from 2016 levels.

“Changes in lifestyle patterns due to rapid urbanization, particularly in emerging economies, and growth in consumption of beauty products with advancement in technology are driving the growth of the smart packaging market,” according to the study, titled Smart Packaging Market: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast.

Also often referred to as ‘active’ or ‘intelligent’ packaging, some of these technologies—such as oxygen scavengers, anti-microbials and thermochromatic inks—have been around for years, without necessarily being called smart per se.

But it is really the advent of smartphone technology and the growing interconnectivity of all sorts of devices in today’s Internet of Things age that are providing the perfect launch platform for a full-on smart packaging revolution in mainstream consumer markets, according to the technology’s proponents, As the Allied Market Research study points out,“The emergence of printed electronics holds out the promise of enhanced traceability and data capture, with the potential to integrate brand owner and consumer via web-based apps and social media.

“The challenge for brand-owners and packaging producers is to understand the

From Left: PAC president James Dowhham shares the spotlight with keynote speaker Joe Jackman, chief executive officer of Toronto-based branding and graphic design firm Jackman Reinvents, and Peter Kallai, president of the intelliFLEX Innovation Alliance, at last year’s Get Smart Summit conference on smart packaging technologies in Mississauga, Ont.

Manufactured by Jones Packaging in London, Ont., the CliniPure cartons utilize the ThinFilm Electronics OpenSense NFC (near field communications) labels embedded inside the cartons to enable smartphone users to easily authenticate the photochemical product packed inside.

possibilities and to identify the solutions to realize them,” the report states.

In North America, efforts to promote wider use of smart packaging technologies are spearheaded by the Ottawa-based intelliFLEX Innovation Alliance, which includes the intelliPACK program of educational and skill-training events and initiatives the group administers jointly with strategic partner PAC Packaging Consortium, with support of the National Research Council (NRC).

Under the program, intelliPACK’s Leadership Council organizes a series of seminars and conferences throughout the year across North America covering the design, process and materials used in the manufacture and application of printed electronics and other fledgling smart packaging technologies.

So far, the global healthcare industry has been one of the more enthusiastic adopters of the smart packaging technologies, largely for product traceability purposes.

“The integration of barcodes, RFID (radio frequency identification) tags or sensors is highly useful within the industry as it monitors authenticity of medicines and provides the patients, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals with details about the expiry date, consumption, and dosages,” the Allied Market Research report points out.

“In addition, smart packaging industry helps the healthcare sector to deal with challenges such as counterfeit and patient compliance, thereby providing complete security.”

Likewise, the personal care product manufacturers are also ramping up their use of so-called “smart coding” techniques to combat counterfeiting and ensure product authenticity.

The ability to share and gather vast amounts of date and information offers a multitude of consumer market research opportunities for leading multinational CPG brand-owners and other manufacturers, according to Christina Cvetan, who works at the R&D Packaging Capability, Print & Connectivity department of global consumer products powerhouse Unilever plc.

“Unilever has been involved in the development of “smart” packaging for many years, focusing more recently on the emerging printed electronics capability and the ability to enable a connected package,” Cvetan says.

“Connected smart package solutions will enable the physical package to provide intelligence and experience via the digital world,” she explains.

“The intelligence capability provides the ability to drive more sustainable packaging and to track and report end-to-end impacts that can lead to design and ef-

Deploying the near-imperceptible Digimarc Barcode technology at supermarket self-checkout aisles expedites the whole process by virtue of not having to manipulate the package in order for the scanner to read the UPC code, resulting in shorter lineups and happier shoppers.

Digimarc’s chief evangelist Larry Logan takes the stage at an industry seminar to explain the benefits of his company’s patented Digimarc Barcode technology used for a broad range of smart packaging applications such as product authentication and self-checkout automation.

ficiency improvements.

“The experience delivery also provides an opportunity to enhance the customer, shopper and consumer engagements,” Cvetan adds, “along with an opportunity to gather specific data and insights across the packaging touch-points that can then be used to deliver an enhanced user experience and improve any package design.”

With an estimated 2.5 billion people worldwide using a Unilever brand product, the extra cost of implementing smart packaging solutions ultimately outweigh the future costs of ignoring the technology altogether, according to Cvetan.

“Manufacturing advancements in printed electronics, sensors and communication capabilities are driving affordability—making it more attractive and practical for users,” says Cvetan, advising aspiring end-users to do proper research and due diligence prior to selecting the right smart technology to suit their application-specific needs and objectives.

“The rapid pace of technology developments is moving so quickly that it can be a challenge to maintain focus on a specific technology or capability,” she says. “It requires disciplined focus, speed and close collaboration to trial, prove, learn and execute successfully.”

One company that has enjoyed considerable success in marketing its own patented technology for smart packaging applications is the Beaverton, Ore.-based software developer Digimarc Corporation.

Founded in 1995, the publicly-traded company got its start by developing digital watermarking technologies that were initially used to protect government documents and digital cinema markets, recently expanding its focus to retail markets following the 2014 launch of its near-invisible Digimarc Barcode technology.

As the company’s deftly-titled chief evangelist Larry Logan explained in a recent interview, smart packaging is poised to become the next big must-have in today’s increasingly chaotic and competitive retail landscape for brands to protect their market share and nurture brand loyalty among the tech-savvy millennial consumers.

vices to continue the conversation at home, whether that means providing recipes, how-to tips, consumer reviews, cross-selling suggestions, or other opportunities to maintain a digital dialogue.

Q.What are the key value-added benefits of smart packaging compared to traditional packaging?

A. Traditional packages are fine to protect and promote the product, but in today’s digital era they don’t effectively communicate with consumers and the data-driven supply chain systems that are crucial for ensuring on-shelf availability (OSA) and maintaining profit margins for retailers and brands.

Smart packaging delivers more data to make every step in the supply chain more reliable and efficient—from the matching of component parts during the manufacturing process to initiating effective product recalls for consumer brands.

For retailers, particularly for ‘fresh food’ labels, smart packaging can facilitate dynamic markdowns to help move items that might soon expire without all the manual effort common today.

For consumers, smart packaging delivers greater product transparency, whereby shoppers can instantly access nutrition facts, other ingredients and information about product origin.

As for brands, they can communicate directly with consumers via mobile de-

PAC CONNECT 2018

Q.What exactly is so ‘smart’ about Digimark’s technology?

A. At Digimarc, we deliver machine-readable codes by subtly altering the graphic elements within the packaging artwork to convey meaningful information.

In normal usage, this change is imperceptible and cannot be discerned by consumers. However, computing devices such as retail scanners, machine vision cameras, and mobile devices can instantly detect the data.

We use the actual artwork pixels to be the carrier for the code, in essence creating what we call “signal rich art.” It cannot be removed or altered, which helps prevent theft and counterfeiting.

And, because the Digimarc Barcode is largely imperceptible, it can be replicated across most surfaces of the packaging, which means it scans faster and more reliably regardless of the angle or rotation it’s presented to the scanner, or in case the UPC gets damaged in some way.

Traditional barcodes are usually on the bottom or back of a box, requiring cashiers to manipulate the package at checkout. This takes time and effort, which has historically lead to long lines for shoppers and significant workplace injury claims for cashiers the retailers who employ them.

Q.Which products are best-suited for smart packaging applications?

A Any consumer packaged good can be a good candidate for using Digimarc Barcode—especially those featuring CMYK process printing.

When using other technologies such as RFID (radio frequency identification) or NFC (near-field communications), retailers and brands often have to limit their application to more premium products, at higher price-points, to help defray the increased per-unit costs owing to expensive chips or hardware installations.

Q. How big of an issue is affordability for more widespread smart packaging adaptation?

A. The costs of some of these technolgies, including RFID and NFC, have come down over time, which makes them ever more likely to be used beyond the luxury product categories to which they were relegated in the past.

But perhaps more importantly, the widespread adoption of smartphones—nowadays found in almost every purse or pocket throughout much of the developed world—has opened up huge opportunities across many industries.

Insofar as it relates to retail and product packaging, consumers can now swiftly scan products to compare prices online, while instantly accessing consumer reviews, instructional videos and other helpful content.

And as the cost of scanners, detectors and machine vision camera systems, including inventory management robots, continues to fall in the future, all these innovations will become much readily accessible to many retailers and brands.

www.pac.ca 19

Q.To what extent is smart packaging a consumer-driven development?

A. Many analysts note that the Internet of Things now includes packaging—resulting in significant investment towards network-enabled devices that reduce costs and improve the shopping experience for consumers.

Consumers expect and demand that products are transparent, and they desire access to content that cannot fit on a package. Because they want instant access to more and better information about the products they buy and the foods they eat, smart packaging is an obvious area of future focus for retailers and brands.

Also, a smart package is an ideal way to foster greater brand affinity and one-to-one engagement between the CPG and its users, which is a powerful capability for brands that are under the challenge of lost market share.

Q How does your smart packaging technology measure up against competing alternatives?

A. One of the most obvious advantages of Digimarc Barcode is our flat-rate pricing. Brands buy the Digimarc Barcode, license it on an annual basis, and pay their graphics vendors a one-time fee for its application to their packaging

After that, there are no per-unit costs, regardless whether suppliers ship 10,000 or 10 million packages.

This cost certainty is very attractive to many companies.

Moreover, our solutions are very broad-based, so that in addition to facilitating consumer engagement and improved front-of store efficiency, we can reduce the frustration with self-checkout by making scan-and-go more reliable and easier for the shopper.

In terms of performance, Digimarc Barcode is more reliable and efficient because it is a platform solution benefitting each step along the package journey— from manufacturing to the consumer at home, postpurchase.

And although Digimarc Barcode has been applied to all forms of printing, it is at its best when working with process printing (CMYK) because it limits the visibility to the human eye, while maximizing detection capabilities for computer devices.

Q With all that said, what is holding back a more widespread adoption of smart packaging in the mainstream consumer retail channels.

A.We must appreciate that we are talking about a very new consumer behavior. To some extent, the fact that

the vast majority of shoppers aren’t accustomed to scanning products in their pantry or on store-shelves has contributed to the inertia.

But that’s already beginning to change. Shoppers are savvier today, and younger generations who’ve grown up immersed in technology are becoming a larger percentage of the workforce and the economy.

On the corporate side, some retailers are waiting for critical mass of smart packaging on shelves, while some brands are reluctant to activate their packaging until a majority of retailers have scanning devices to detect smart packaging.

It’s a classic conundrum that is usually overcome at first by a minority of enterprising, forward-thinking and disruptive innovators, as is the case in many different markets.

You see such innovation-thinking with our initial adoption by Wegmans, which was also the first retailer to broadly deploy the now-standard UPC codes.

We think the retail sector, where the separation between bricks-and-mortar and the digital shelf has all but vanished, is at that stage now, and we are happy to play a role to support this sea change.

At Digimarc, we believe that packaging is an analog solution in a digital world, and we are the bridge between them.

DAYS AT THE BEACH

A shampoo bottle made with recycled beach plastic offers hope for stemming the tide in ongoing epic battle against marine pollution

BY GEORGE GUIDONI, EDITOR

T

he idea that there will be more plastic than fish swimming in the world’s oceans within our lifetime may seem unfathomable, but according to some leading environmental experts, it’s an inconvenient reality fraught with disastrous consequences for mankind and the planet.

According to a widely cited 2016 report from the highly-respected Ellen MacArthur Foundation in the U.K., there are at least eight million tonnes of plastics leaking into the ocean each year—threatening to overwhelm and obliterate the planet’s increasingly fragile marine ecosystems.

“In a business-as-usual scenario, the ocean is expected to contain one tonne of plastic for every tonne of fish by 2025,” the report warns,“and by 2050 more plastics than fish [by weight].”

While such dire warnings are all too often shrugged

off as unfounded hysteria in today’s new political climate of global warming denial, it’s hard to argue with the mounting body of ugly evidence washing up on beaches around the world in the form of discarded plastic bottles, bags, pouches and other packaging debris that continuously escapes into the world’s waterways at an alarming rate.

On the bright side, some of the world’s leading consumer packaged goods (CPG) brand-owners and manufacturers who are the biggest end-users of the runaway plastic packaging are finally owing up to their part in creating the mess, and the urgent need to start cleaning it up pronto.

For the Cincinnati, Ohio-headquartered consumer goods colossus Procter & Gamble (P&G), this meant not just cleaning up the littered beaches, but using the collected bits of plastic to make a useful new product, rather than simply divert the rubbish

TerraCycle’s founder and chief executive officer Tom Szaky making a presentation at the 2017 Word Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, outlining the basics of his company’s collaboration with Procter & Gamble and SUEZ Environment that collects washed-up plastic waste from the world’s beaches and upcycles it into recycled HDPE pellets that can be used to make new useful products, including the new Head & Shoulder brand shampoo bottle launched by P&G last year in France and Germany.

to landfills.

After conducting extensive studies, P&G decided to leverage the global mass appeal of its iconic Head & Shoulders shampoo brand to bring the issue to public light in the form of a distinctively-marketed special bottle containing 25-percent reused plastic waste collected from polluted beaches, oceans, rivers and other waterways.

To carry out the project, P&G turned to its trusted longtime recycling partner TerraCycle, Trenton, N.J.-based waste recovery company specializing in the “upcycling” of hard-to-recycle waste.

“We have already worked with P&G for over five years

across the world running over a dozen national collection and recycling programs—from recycling household cleaner packaging in Canada to dirty diapers in Holland,” says TerraCycle’s chief executive officer and founder Tom Szaky.

“The success of those programs gave the P&G team to entrust their Ocean Plastic supply chain initiative to the Terra Cycle team,” says Szaky, who grew up in Toronto before enrolling at Princeton University and founding TerraCycle in 2001 after dropping out of his sophomore year.

The two companies, both active high-profile members of PAC Packaging Consortium and its PAC NEXT initiative, quickly proceeded to bring their vision to life after

partnering up with the French utility company SUEZ Environment, which specializes in wastewater treatment and waste recovery.

“This all moved relatively quickly after P&G came to us with their challenge in late 2016,” Szaky recalls. “All the R&D, supply chain creation and delivery of the first order were completed in time to announce the project to the world at the annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, in January of 2017.

As Szaky recalls, “The main issue was to get the maximum amount of ocean plastic into the bottle.

“Bottle molders needed testing data to make sure the material wasn’t too degraded to use, so the R&D process was quite involved, with lots and lots of testing.

“We had to fully understand the material specifications of the standard H&S bottle so we could make sure the resin we produced would be moldable,” Szaky relates.

“After much testing, it was determined that we could go to a maximum content threshold of 25 per cent.”

Each of the three partner companies made significant input in the development of the suitable recycled plastic pellets, says Szaky, also extending credit to hundreds of different NGOs (nongovernmental organizations) and other volunteer group for running collection programs worldwide.

“TerraCycle’s role was to manage the entire process—from on-site collection and getting that waste to TerraCycle warehouses to processing it into the finished plastic pellets to be supplied to P&G’s bottle manufacturing partners,” Szaky explains.

“Once the material is received, TerraCycle does a manual sort to remove hazardous materials or other unrecyclables, like fishing nets, and send the waste to a SUEZ facility, where it is mechanically sorted, cleaned and pelletized.

“The finished HDPE (high-density polyethylene) pellets are then sent to P&G’s bottle manufacturer APLA to be compounded, formed and filled.”

According to Brent Heist, head of P&G’s Packaging sustainability team in Cincinnati, the new bottle is the “first of its kind” in terms of containing significant recycled content and also being recyclable itself.

“It also matched all the technical criteria necessary to ensure consumers have a delightful user experience,” says Heist, while also praising the gray bottle’s distinct shelf impact and differentiation, along with its effective messaging about the bottle’s environmental attributes.

“The public response to the Head & Shoulders beach plastic campaign has

been fantastic,” Heist extols.

“Consumer responses have indicated a strong connection to the need for increased recycling to help ensure that their beaches are not polluted with plastic waste.”

Szaky estimates that the project has effectively removed 80 tonnes of plastic waste from beaches and waterways across six continents.

“As far as we know, this is the largest solution to ocean plastic to date in terms of volume and the recycled content used in the package,” says Szaky, citing “incredible” consumer response to the unique new Head & Shoulders shampoo bottles launched across France last summer.

“That successful launch enabled P&G to develop exclusive relationships with top retailers Carrefour in France and Rewe in Germany,” he says, “and both retailers saw very strong sales of the product.

“Thanks to that early success, the project is now being expanded to North America, Latin America, Asia, more EU countries and Oceania,” says Szaky, noting the new P&G bottle has gathered seven international awards in 2017 alone—including the United Nations (UN)’s Momentum for Change Lighthouse Activity Award last fall.

“We knew we were doing something worthwhile and exciting,” Szaky reflects, “but to be recognized by an organization like the UN for our efforts is pretty amazing and very inspiring to our partners, our team and our collectors.

“We hope this will be just the beginning and that this platform will continue to make a meaningful impact on the global crisis of ocean plastic,” says Szaky, noting very positive early indications.

“From the beginning, we and P&G talked about it as a bigger movement—and not a one-off market-

“In addition, P&G has expanded their ‘Ocean Plastic’ platform to their dish-care products business and is likely going to add other business units this year, while a number of their of competitors have reached out to us, aiming to launch similar platforms in 2018 and 2019,” Szaky states.

While Szaky acknowledges that the 80 tons of plastic removed from the waterways as part of the new Head & Shoulders bottle development may at this stage be the proverbial drop in the ocean, he is very upbeat on positive momentum the endeavor has built up for tackling the global marine pollution problem head-on.

“Instead of just talking about something, we figured out a way to do it by focusing on execution, rather than theory,” he states.

“The P&G team really stepped up to the plate by making a firm commitment to use this plastic,” Szaky points out, “and that drove their organization, as well as ours, to make it a reality quickly and in a big way.

“It would have been easy to talk and analyze costs and benefits a lot longer, but we all jumped in and focused on making execution the Number One priority.

“It was only after that we looked at the cost efficiencies and other supply chain benefits, which incidentally were also realized in a big way.”

Says Szaky:“We and P&G are on a mission to call attention to the gargantuan global issue of ocean plastic pollution.

“We are educating through messaging in-store and on the bottle, we are encouraging consumers to physi-

cally participate in beach cleanups, and to purchase the bottle to show support for the issue,” he concludes.

“Through these opportunities, we will hopefully help people understand the problem of ocean plastic, change their thinking about waste, and encourage new consumer behavior.”

Adds Heist:“Consumer education and awareness of the need to recycle is a continuing effort [and] P&G will continue to expand our campaign to help drive awareness for the need to recycle in other countries as well.

“The ideal outcome would be that all consumer packaging is properly collected, sorted, processed and recycled into usable plastic materials to be used in packaging again,” Heist concludes.

“There should not be any plastic waste on the world’s beaches, full stop.”

NO TIME TO WASTE

Global waste crisis fuels broad-based momentum to remodel conventional manufacturing mindset around the key Circular Economy principles

BY GEORGE GUIDONI, EDITOR

A

world without waste may sound like a utopian pipe dream, but in mankind’s everlasting quest to make our planet a better place the journey can often be as important as the final destination.

For Canada’s leading packaging industry group’s PAC Packaging Consortium, its journey to a waste-free future began in earnest in 2011 with formation of the PAC NEXT working group, mandated with developing programs and action plans to help companies across numerous sectors to reduce their environmental footprint through the big 3 R’s of reduce, reuse and recycle.

Nowadays headed by PAC director of sustainability Rachel Morier, the group has recently embraced the bold new concept of a Circular Economy—coined by the leading U.K. environmental think-tank Ellen MacArthur Foundation—as a guiding blueprint for its future efforts in advancing packaging sustainability.

While Morier admits there is a lot of work to be done to turn skeptics into believers, her commitment to promoting the cause of Circular Economy is aptly matched by her deep conviction in its feasibility and viability.

“The Circular Economy is absolutely

achievable, or else there would be no use in investing time and resources in it,” Morier proclaims.

“Of course, it requires much hard work, careful planning and collaboration, with many challenges ahead to align the interests of government, industry and the public.

“It will take a concerted effort to re-work a system that has been in place for years,” Morier acknowledges, “but the momentum is building step-by-step with each new corporate policy, each new passing legislation, each new sorting or processing technology, and with each new packaging innovation.”

Often described as an alternative to the traditional linear economy model based on the three pillars of ‘make, use, dispose,’ the Circular Economy is a more closed-loop regenerative system that not only emphasizes the maximum use of the available resources for the duration of a product’s life-time but also the reuse of those materials at the end of each product’s service life to make other products—thereby taking the ‘dispose’ part, i.e. waste, completely out of the equation.

While the concept was developed primarily to address the growing worldwide problem of plastic waste, it is equally applicable to virtually any man-made material used to produce packaging for consumer and industrial goods, as well as the goods themselves.

As Morier explains, the Circular Concept economy inherently requires a big picture approach to new product development whereby the product’s end-oflife is addressed at the early design and prototyping stages.

“I believe the Circular Economy model reminds us

that there is no defined single path to achieve circularity,” she says.

“Some argue that the focus of the Circular Economy model is making everything recyclable or compostable, which is false.

“If you have created a recyclable package but your overall carbon footprint is high, then there is still work to be done,” says Morier.

“If you have sourced local and renewable materials to reduce your carbon footprint but your packaging still ends up in landfill, then there is still work to be done.”

Says Morier: “The biggest challenge with adopting the “circular economy” is that it requires long-term thinking and a willingness to collaborate.

“As a result, this can be very difficult to plan for in today’s fast-paced, competitive environment.”

Difficult but not impossible, says Morier, citing the 100-percent recycled plastic containers used for the Lush Cosmetics’ hand and body creams, with fivepercent content made from reprocessed plastic waste collected from the shorelines of British Columbia islands under auspices of the Ocean Legacy Foundation group.

“The intent is to source materials renewably to create a packaged product that can then be put back into the system to be recycled again,” Morier relates.

“Not only does this packaging help incorporate recycled content to reduce greenhouse gas emissions,” she notes, “but it also raises consumer awareness of ocean plastic pollution.”

Other examples abound.

Isabelle Faucher, managing director of the Carton Council of Canada (CCC), points to her group’s collaboration with the Des Moines, Iowa-based construction materials manufacturer ReWall Company as a shining example of Circular Economy at work.

Founded in 2008, ReWall is a thriving manufacturer of roofing products and construction materials made from recycled food and beverage cartons such as the aseptic paperboard cartons manufactured by companies such as Tetra Pak and SIG Combibloc, among others.

The company employs a specialized low-energy, eco-friendly process that uses no water, formaldehyde glues or hazardous chemicals to produce quality roof cover board, exterior sheathing, wallboard and floor underlayment.

“We have discovered that the unique properties of food and beverage cartons, such as strength, durability and resistance to mold and moisture, make them an ideal material for creating high-quality building materials,” says ReWall Company’s chief executive officer Jan Rayman.

“In addition, the life-cycle of the cartons will continue to grow because the building materials themselves can also be recycled.”

With technical and financial assistance from Carton Council, ReWall has more than doubled its manufacturing capacity late last year with the addition of new specialized equipment—enabling ReWall to recycle over 600 tonnes of recovered paperboard per month.

“Ensuring there are stable and robust end-markets to recycle used cartons is critically important to the circular economy,” says Faucher.

“Recycling is a crucial component of the circular economy, and sustainable, high-performing recycling systems are es-

sential to recovering the source materials that supply the manufacturing process.

“Since our formation in 2009, we have collaborated with municipalities, sorting facilities, the waste management industry and schools to increase carton collection and recycling,” says Faucher, “while also working tirelessly to make post-consumer cartons a valuable commodity tradable on the global markets.”

These activities are perfectly aligned with the sustainability mindset guiding all operations of the global aseptic packaging and processing technologies leader Tetra Pak. “Our vision for packaging in a Circular Economy is simple: Packaging

material made of renewable content, sustainably sourced, and recycled at the end of its life-cycle,” states Elisabeth Comere, Tetra Pak’s director of environment for the U.S. and Canada.

“We recognize that the linear ‘make, use, dispose’ model puts significant pressure on natural capital and drives the need for energy/fossil fuel and, consequently, the generated carbon emissions,” Comere explains.

“On the other hand, the Circular Economy, both recognizes both the potential of using renewable materials from sustainable sources, and the converting of waste into new resources to help reduce greenhouse emissions and their climate impact,” she states.

According to Comere, about 57 per cent of all food and

beverage cartons consumed in Canada are currently recycled into new products—more then double the 26-percent rate only 10 years ago.

Considering that the Tetra Pak cartons are for the most part largely constructed from renewable materials sourced from certified forests and sugar-cane plantations, the company’s contribution to the development of a Circular Economy puts it right at the front of the movement, Comere contends.

“Our ultimate goal is to produce packages derived entirely from renewable resources,” she points out. “We made great strides in 2011 when we were first to market plastic closures made from sugar-cane derived ethanol, and in 2014 with the launch of the first milk package made entirely from plant-

based materials, an achievement recognized at the 2016 Circular Awards.”

Says Comere: “Tetra Pak is well positioned to tackle the transition to a Circular Economy.

“Through our R&D investments, we continuously test new technologies and explore the use of new materials in our packaging, says Comere, noting that the Tetra Pak cartons out in the market today are on average 20 per cent lighter than they were 30 years ago.

“This is how we deployed bioplastics derived from sugar cane, which replaced traditional fossil-fuel based plastic for the caps and protective layers in our cartons, for example,” she adds.

“We are also exploring the use of ‘new’ raw materials such as algae or biomass as feedstock for our carton packages,” says Comere, while urging Tetra Pak’s vast customer base in the global food industry also to adopt a more circular mindset.

“The food packaging industry has an essential role to play in reducing impact on the environment and consumption of natural resources,” Comere asserts,.

“It has a unique opportunity to help accelerate the transition to a Circular Economy by promoting and investing into recycling and by embracing the use of renewable materials from sustainable sources in packaging.”

Like Morier and Faucher, Comere stresses the vital importance of the need to evaluate a product’s end-oflife legacy early in the product design stages.

“Considering a package’s end of life treatment when choosing materials and design is key,” she states.

“That’s why Tetra Pak designs its cartons not only with recycling in mind, ensuring they fit with the existing recycling infrastructure, but that they can also be converted into useful new paper-based products or building materials, for example.”

Nicholas Reichenbach, founder and president of upstart Canadian water bottler Flow Water, says he is proud of the fact that the company’s flagship brand is packaged exclusively in Tetra Pak’s Tetra Prisma Aseptic Edge cartons incorporating the DreamCap and HeliCap resealable closures made from bioplastic polymers derived from sugar cane.

As Reichenbach relates, his deliberate selection of Tetra Pak packaging for the brand played a big role in

obtaining the coveted B Corporation certification of B Lab for top-level “gold standard” social and environmental performance.

“We were actually awarded one of the highest-ever scores for a Canadian company,” says Reichenbach, citing exceptionally high audit scores for the company’s waste management, recycling and material sourc-

ing programs.

“This was all very much inspired by the Circular Economy model,” he states,“which is really the mantra for our company.

“We have a responsibility to our customers and our staff to be the highest-quality sustainable company on the planet.

“In fact I created Flow with the idea of being the world’s first socially and environmentally responsible water—a carbon-neutral, fully sustainable water company with a positive impact on the world around us.

“The use on nonrecyclable or noncompostable plastic bottles is still a major problem for the world’s water industry,” Reichenbach says,“and being the first Canadian company to put high-quality mineral still water inside a Tetra Prisma carton aligns us with Tetra Pak’s acknowledged status as one of the world’s leaders in environmentally-friendly packaging solutions.”

Adds Reichenbach:“I am a firm believer in the Circular Economy, which is already taking shape in part due to the economic necessity of having to maximize the planet’s resources.

“With the world’s population growth continuing to accelerate, we all must be able to master the art of doing more with less for the sake of humanity’s future well-being, and the Circular Economy model offers the best path forward to achieving that goal.”

The key to the D-Series flexibility is a smaller i-Tech scan head, connected to the laser tube on a multi-position mount. The head can be rotated through 90 degree steps to allow for many mounting positions, and because it is so much smaller, it can easily fit where bigger lasers cannot.

Domino Ax-Series: Coding Without Compromise Rethinking Ink Jet

Rethinking Value . Fast changeover and start-up

Rethinking Print Quality

. Service-free . Optimum ink usage, life and yield

. Variable droplets . Clean, crisp codes . Enhanced for human and machine readability

Rethinking Performance . Large volumes of data . Highest throughput . Flexible deployment

Designed by Customers, Engineered by Domino The way we think about it, if you want to improve your products, listen to your customers. So we did. We learned from your coding experiences and studied the regulatory, environmental and supply chain pressures you face.

And then we deconstructed Continous Ink Jet as we've known it for the past four decades before rebuilding it as a better, faster, more responsive and cost effective solution.

Experience the Domino Ax-Series and rethink Continuous Ink Jet.

The Gold Standard for Performance

Titan™ chain offers the ultimate in extended wear-life.

When it comes to critical applications, reliability is everything. But not just any chain can withstand the nonstop stress of high speeds and harsh conditions.

That’s why Tsubaki designed its Titan chain to deliver superior durability in challenging environments. Specially coated pins, solid lube groove bushings* and a patented ring-coining process increase fatigue strength while minimizing wear.

The result is a significantly longer wear-life, even in extreme environments.

So go on, hold your chain to a higher standard — the Titan gold standard.

To learn more, call 800.263.7088 or visit tsubaki.ca *Lube groove bushings available in sizes 80–140.

SUPERIOR PACKAGING STARTS WITH REISER Reiser packaging expertise and Repak technology are the powerful combination you need to produce a superior form/fill/seal package.

■ The Repak form/fill/seal packaging machine is a rugged, high-speed racehorse capable of the industry’s fastest speeds.

■ Produces the highest quality packages with reliable seals that virtually eliminate leakers and returns.

■ Features rapid air forming to allow the use of thinner, less expensive films while maintaining package integrity.

■ Uses two 4-point lifting systems in both the forming and sealing stations to generate up to five metric tons of closing pressure for uniform forming and higher quality seals.

■ Hygienic design and stainless steel construction for superior sanitation.

Test the Repak for yourself – contact us to arrange a demonstration at our Reiser Customer Center.

JULY 2017

PACKAGING PENNY PINCHING A LAME GAME Every penny counts in today’s cutthroat hospitality business, so it’s no surprise to see many restaurant operators relying exclusively on pop gundispensed juices to keep their costs in line. That said, I find this copout rather distasteful on the account of it being offered as an easy means to short-change a customer. In my experience, I have always found that the taste and the consistency of fruit juice packaged in a well-made container is well worth the cost—especially when bought in reasonable bulk volume. To this end, I am a very happy camper with the Ocean Spray’s three-liter plastic jugs that have become a permanent, behind-the-scenes fixture in our bar areas. Despite their imposing size, the jugs are very user-friendly and manoeuvrable for the bar staff thanks to the built-in side handle that essentially turns the container into a pitcher, along with a generous four-centimeter-diameter opening to facilitate consistent f low of the product—down to the very last drop.

Every watering hole worth its salt has its own unique and secret way of dressing up and seasoning its Bloody Caesar cocktails. For us, the Old Bay Seasoning brand from McCormick Canada is a trusted go-to item for one of our more poplar versions. Packaged in shrinksleeved 74-gram PET (polyethylene terephthalate) containers shaped to resemble the old-school tin-boxes of yesteryear— the retro artwork does a great job of invoking a f lash of nostalgia for simpler times—the product is easily dispensed as required thanks to its tight-fitting, multifunctional lid that allows the user to sprinkle, pour or scoop out the aromatic spice blend and safely reclose it for future use with a simple snap.

With customers becoming better educated and more aware of the staggering amount of plastic used in everyday packaging, including foodservice packaging, it’s nice to have more than one option for waste disposal. As an alternative to recycling, the NEW WAVE range of 100-percent compostable hinged-lid takeaway containers from Toronto-based YesEco—made from the renewable sugar-cane and bamboo—provide a terrific option for sending our customers home with their takeovers of full meals to enjoy back at their place. The moisture-resistant containers help avoid any messy soak-throughs, and are sturdy

enough to withstand spending time in a freezer, microwave or the oven up to 400°F. Once the food inside is finished or removed, the container goes into the Green Bin and, ultimately, Mother Nature takes care of all the rest in a proper composting environment. Sustainable food packaging at its best, bravo!

In the similar spirit of sustainability, the all-wood Coffee Stirrers from Les Industries Touch Inc. of Sherbrooke, Que., also deserve a nod of approval for both intent and functionality, along with refreshing design simplicity. The f lat round-edged wooden sticks are packed by a thousand in a sturdy microf luted corrugated box featuring a perforated fold-down dispenser at the bottom, making it a prefect stand-alone distribution site right next to the coffee brewing machines. Printed with vegetable-based dyes, the box is both recyclable and compostable with each one shipped in a thin layer of clear shrinkwrap film to ensure a clean product inside upon arrival.

Despite getting much unwarranted notoriety on social media due to idiots daring other imbeciles to eat them, Procter & Gamble’s Tide Pods Free & Gentle brand should, in fact, be congratulated for leading the way in using innovative packaging for this innovative product. The large 2.02-kilogram plastic tub boasts a unique oval shape mimicking the shape of the pods themselves, which are packed 81 unscented, hypoallergenic pods to a tub. The tub’s f lat-bottom design enables it to stay firmly upright on the storage shelf, while the two attached handles at the back make sure the smooth-surfaced tub does not accidentally slip from one’s grasp. The f lip-top lids snaps shut after opening to reach in and grab the pods without much effort, and the large product features clear, easy-to-read warning symbols alerting users to the dangers of ingesting the product or making close eye contact with it.
