The launch of Erdbär’s (Germany) Freche Freunde new eco-friendly pouch demonstrates the company’s commitment to sustainability, achieving a unique position in the German snack market for kids. The premade multi-layer laminated pouch, with spout and cap, is mainly made of bio-based polyethylene obtained from renewable sources, such as sugar cane—and is a major achievement to reduce the company's environmental footprint.
The Freche Freunde offer a range of snacks for children, ideal for on-the-go, made of 100% organic fruit and veg with no added sugar or additives.
For Gualapack (Italy), the launch of a new generation of eco-friendly CheerNEXT, made of more than 80% of renewable sourced polymers, is a world première that demonstrates the longstanding commitment of the Group to reduce the environmental impact of its products. The laminates used for this development are the bio-based LamiNEXT, an internal production by Safta, part of the GualapackGroup.
The GualapackGroup is the world leader of spouted pouches and filling machinery and a key global player of the flexible packaging industry. To date, it operates with direct manufacturing sites in Europe (4), Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS, 1), Latin America (2), and through joint ventures in the U.S. (1), and the Far East (2).
