At K 2022, visitors showed high interests in making green and circular packaging a reality, and saving resources in production. Let's take a look at some of innovative technologies showcased for sustainable packaging.
BOBST and partners unveiled oneBARRIER PrimeCycle, a polymer-based mono-material that is recycle-ready while retaining high barrier qualities, making it a potentially groundbreaking development for sustainable packaging.
The Generation 3.0 “hero samples” the company revealed were various examples of food packaging, are another significant evolution from the 1.0 version first presented at K 2019. BOBST’s partners involved in oneBARRIER PrimeCycle include Dow, Michelman, Sun Chemical and Zermatt.
