Global Pouch Forum will be taking place June 18-20 in Clearwater, Florida, and the event will feature several can’t-miss sessions providing vital information for anybody involved in flexible packaging.

One of those sessions will be “Future-Proof Solutions for Sustainable Pouch Packaging.”

As environmental regulations tighten around the globe and consumer demand for sustainable packaging grows, manufacturers face more pressure than ever to find sustainable solutions. 

Flexible pouching products in particular present a unique challenge, as traditional pouch materials are unable to be recycled, and many sustainable materials are too heat-sensitive to withstand high-speed production. 

In response to these challenges, R.A Jones, in partnership with watttron, a German engineering company specializing in digital heating systems, has developed cutting-edge heat sealing and tension control technologies for use on existing pouch machinery to handle eco-friendly materials without sacrificing speed. In this sustainability-focused session, R.A Jones Director of Product and Marketing Ricky Low and representatives from watttron and Nestlé Germany will discuss:

• This innovative technology’s pathway to commercialization
• Product testing in the new R.A Jones Pouch Lab
• Key market indicators for the global flexible packaging market
• Navigating environmental regulations while meeting consumer expectations

Representing Nestlé will be Jens Bodo Wagner, Technical Workgroup Leader at Maggi factory Luedinghausen, part of the Nestlé Group.

Representing watttron will be Scott Matre, Sales Manager for the United States.
