In a pioneering collaboration, Mespack and Amcor have launched a new 2-liter stand-up pouch customized for the Home Care industry. This innovative solution merges advanced sustainable packaging technology, which offers a durable, recyclable, and consumer-friendly alternative to traditional packaging.
Raising the Bar for Sustainable Packaging
The 2L pouch marks a transformative step in sustainable packaging design. To date, recyclable pouch solutions were limited to capacities of 1–1.5 liters. By increasing the volume to 2 litters, this breakthrough product addresses consumer demand for larger, eco-conscious packaging options. Durability and functionality were critical considerations for the Home Care market, particularly in regard to providing drop resistance and leak prevention. Manufactured with Amcor’s AmPrima® recycle-ready solutions, the 2L pouch meets the European Union’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) recycling standards and is compatible with post-consumer recycled (PCR) content. By transitioning from rigid containers to flexible pouches, brands can reduce carbon emissions by up to 83%, which aligns with global sustainability goals.
Unmatched Performance and Functionality
Designed for daily use in the Home Care sector, the 2L pouch is sturdy, drop-resistant, and leak-proof, thus guaranteeing reliability throughout the supply chain and in consumer households. Extensive testing on Mespack’s H570 machine achieves optimal seal strength and durability. The result is the leveraging of:
- Precision sealing technology:Â Utilization of a newly developed metal alloy and precise temperature control that ensures optimal performance with recyclable materials, including large pouches.
- Spout preheating technology: Reinforcement of the closure system’s integrity to prevent leaks.
- LoTUS Spout by Menshen: This innovative spout, made from recyclable materials, is perfectly compatible with mono-material films. Its standout feature is its ability to withstand very high temperatures applied to monolaminate films, significantly reducing dependence on the laminate’s heat resistance. Additionally, it is adaptable to standard heating technologies.
- High-speed compatibility: Optimization for a faster production line speed
s without compromising quality.
Refill Solutions for a Circular Economy
This 2L pouch is designed to support sustainable consumer habits by encouraging the reuse of existing bottles. Refill systems such as this significantly reduce packaging waste and carbon emissions while appealing to cost-conscious consumers seeking environmentally friendly solutions. Flexible spouted pouches use less plastic than traditional containers and bottles, thus making them a lower-impact choice. Additionally, the ability to repeatedly refill bottles supports a circular economy by minimizing waste and maximizing resource efficiency.
The Future of Home Care Packaging Begins Now
Available from November 2024, the new 2L stand-up pouch is ready to revolutionize the home care market, offering an ideal solution for products such as soaps, laundry detergents, and household cleaners. It combines sustainability with superior functionality to meet the needs of consumers and brands alike.
