Abstract

Manufacturers of liquid non-food products are challenged with making their packaging as sustainable as possible. Elopak, one of the leading suppliers of carton packaging and filling machines, has transferred the advantages of the liquid carton in terms of functionality and sustainability to the detergents and cleaning agents segment. Here, the D-PAK™ carton is a low-plastic solution that offers high functionality and user-friendliness. It not only protects products but is also practical to use and predominantly made from renewable raw materials. Consumer tests show that the D-PAK ™ carton offers clear advantages over the primarily used plastic pouches in terms of sustainability and handling. Consumers’ willingness to buy liquid non-food products in carton packaging is correspondingly high, especially in the refill packaging segment. As the demand for D-PAK™ cartons is increasing, Elopak established its own business unit for non-food solutions at the beginning of 2024 and now offers a broad product portfolio for numerous applications.
