The demand for sustainable packaging among consumers and brand owners all over the world is growing at an exponential rate, which in many cases drives the demand to replace plastic packaging. Strong partnerships are required to bring about the development and innovation needed to meet this demand – a good reason for Bosch Packaging Technology and BillerudKorsnäs to intensify their successful collaboration. So, Bosch Packaging Technology and BillerudKorsnäs are developing new sustainable paper-based packaging innovations. Both companies are further strengthening their approach to work closely with partners along the value chain to find better solutions for a sustain-able future.

The first concrete result of this enhanced collaboration is the development of a new packaging concept called Pearl (image). It aims to show how uniquely formed and right-sized small packages, called shaped paper pods, can contribute to a more sustainable future by utilizing the unique formability of the FibreForm material (3D-formable paper pa-tented by BillerudKorsnäs). The material is processed on machinery from Bosch Packaging. The Pearl concept will be shown at FachPack 2019 trade fair.
