At Booth 4-212, the film manufacturer will showcase not only its expertise in sustainability, but also its latest products for the food industry. Ranging from ultra-thin skin films and next-generation recyclable pouch, thermoforming, and tray packaging concepts to the EcoTrace™ LCA service for comprehensive life cycle assessments of flexible packaging solutions.
Sustainability is a core pillar of Südpack’s Strategy 2030. As a technology- and innovation-driven company, Südpack is a leading force in the plastics and packaging industry and actively advances the circular economy through its commitment to both mechanical and chemical recycling. Südpack backs its ambitious goals with solid data – documented in the company’s annual sustainability and progress report, which will also be published to coincide with Fachpack. Among the highlights: emissions have been reduced by a total of 24% since 2021, the company’s CO2 reduction targets submitted to the SBTi have been validated, and Südpack has achieved Platinum status in the EcoVadis rating. And while discussions around the introduction of the PPWR continue, this family-owned company is already equipped to meet the needs of environmentally conscious customers – with deep expertise and a forward-looking product portfolio that supports truly sustainable packaging choices.
A standout highlight at this year’s event will be the debut of Südpack’s new CarbonLite® product family in Nuremberg. These recyclable mono-materials are suitable for a wide range of packaging concepts – such as PE flowpacks for cuts of cheese or garlic baguettes, convenient PP doypacks for snacks, PP or PE block-bottom pouches for coffee, and PP spouted pouches for fruit purées. They offer excellent machinability, even at high cycle rates on existing equipment. Reliable sealing performance (including for integrated zippers, spouts, and valves made from the same mono-material) and adaptable barrier properties ensure strong product protection and a long shelf life. However, their greatest advantage lies in their reduced carbon footprint compared to conventional multilayer materials or heavier tray packaging.
