Parkside adds more innovation to Recoflex™ range with launch of recyclable metallised paper material
Parkside, an innovative packaging solutions provider specializing in compostable, recyclable, paper-based, and innovative plastic flexible packaging solutions for the food, personal & household care, and tobacco sectors has further boosted its award-winning portfolio of sustainable flexible packaging materials with the launch of a next-generation recyclable metalized barrier paper.
The metalized paper is part of the Recoflex range of recyclable paper-based solutions, which was launched earlier in the year. It offers groundbreaking heat sealability, superb printability, and excellent barrier performance, and can be converted on form, fill, and seal (FFS) and flow wrap packing lines.
It adds to the already extensive Recoflex portfolio, which includes Parkside’s revolutionary freezer-proof paper material (first commercialized last year), two configurations of Recoflex Translucent, a translucent barrier paper plus a flow-wrap solution for ambient food and non-food applications, and a high barrier performance paper.
“The most exciting thing about Recoflex has always been its potential for further growth and innovation,” explains Steve Hallford, New Product Development Technologist at Parkside. “We’re delighted to be able to add to the options our customers can explore with the launch of our recyclable metalized paper.
“We have taken the time to listen carefully to what our customers need from metalized material and have developed a solution that offers the functionality, performance, and operational efficiency that today’s market demands, while also meeting consumer demands for more recyclable packaging. As a result, the new metalized paper is ideal for many food and non-food applications, from coffee and snacks to healthcare products.”
The new material is compatible with current UK recycling infrastructure, meaning consumers can simply drop it into their domestic paper recycling bins after use.
“Our drive to keep improving access to recyclable flexible packaging means we look forward to growing the Recoflex range even further in the future,” added Hallford.
Packaging South Asia — resilient, growing and impactful — daily, monthly — always responsive
The multi-channel B2B in print and digital 17-year-old platform matches the industry’s growth trajectory. The Indian, South Asian, Southeast Asian, and Middle East packaging industries are looking beyond the resilience of the past three years. They are resuming capacity expansion and diversification, with high technology and automation in new plants and projects.
As we present our 2024 publishing plan, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2024 will exceed 6%. The packaging industry growth will match the GDP growth in volume terms and surpass it by at least 3% in terms of nominal growth allowing for price inflation in energy, raw materials, consumables, and capital equipment.
The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 45% over the past four years. With orders in place, we expect another 20% capacity addition in 2024 and 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels are growing similarly. As the consumption story returns over the next six months, we expect demand to return and exceed the growth trajectory of previous years. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – and as shown by our analytics, our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.
For responsible and sustainable packaging, with its attendant regulations and compliances, there is significant headroom to grow in India and the region. Our coverage includes the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and to waste collection, sorting, and recycling.
We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers. This is a large and complex canvas – the only thing that can work is your agile thinking and innovation together with our continuous learning and persistence.
The coming year looks to be an up year in this region, and this is the right time to plan your participation and marketing communication – in our rich and highly targeted business platform with human resources on the ground. Share your thoughts and plans to inspire and mobilize our editorial and advertising teams!
