Constantia Flexibles, a leading packaging solutions provider, has unveiled EcoTwistPaper, a novel packaging solution tailored for the confectionery sector. Designed with a focus on recyclability and sustainability, EcoTwistPaper represents a significant step forward in the packaging industry.
Unlike traditional twist-wraps that often contain non-recyclable components such as wax or polymeric coatings, EcoTwistPaper is entirely wax-free and made from paper, aligning with the global trend towards eco-friendly products. It has undergone rigorous testing for repulpability with the Confederation of European Paper Industries (CEPI), achieving an impressive score of 90 out of 100 for its printed material.
“EcoTwistPaper represents a significant advancement within the confectionery packaging sector,” stated Marc Rademacher, Executive Vice President Consumer Commercial at Constantia Flexibles. “Driven by our dedication to sustainability and addressing the demands of the confectionary industry, we developed EcoTwistPaper.”
One of the notable features of EcoTwistPaper is its compatibility with existing packaging machinery, ensuring a seamless integration into manufacturing processes. Moreover, its soft texture, achieved through advanced mechanical treatments, makes it ideal for wrapping sweets and treats while providing excellent product protection.
The launch of EcoTwistPaper comes at a time when there is a growing demand from both consumers and regulators for more sustainable packaging options. By offering a solution that is both visually appealing and practical, while also being designed for recycling, Constantia Flexibles aims to meet the evolving needs of manufacturers and brands in the confectionery industry.
