PakTech, a global designer and manufacturer of sustainable secondary packaging solutions, is set to return to interpack 2026 to show how brands can meet two of the major industry priorities: durability and sustainability. 

At Hall 7A, Booth B02, visitors are invited to explore the company’s high-performing, fully recycled and recyclable high-density polyethylene (rHDPE) multipack handles for beverage, food, health and personal care applications. At the exhibition, PakTech will also highlight application systems that optimize production efficiency and deliver consistent performance on the line.  

A smarter view of plastic

In an industry where strength and reliability are non-negotiable, PakTech is encouraging manufacturers, co-packers, and brand owners to take a data-driven approach to packaging materials. At interpack, the company will demonstrate the advantages of rHDPE across durability, cost-effectiveness, and circularity. 

Its multipack handle solutions maintain structural integrity throughout the humid and temperature-variable conditions typical of European supply chains, while providing the strength required for heavy loads. This results in fewer product failures in transit—such as damaged units and unsellable stock—helping manufacturers minimize waste and ensure that items reach consumers in perfect condition, ultimately safeguarding brand reputation. 

Visitors will also see how the handles’ minimalist, customizable design allows primary packaging and branding to shine, while also reducing excess material use and associated costs.

For co-packers looking to optimize their production lines, PakTech will spotlight the CCA 120/180 and MicroPak can-carrier applicators—advanced equipment engineered to apply the company’s handles at high speed. The CE-certified CCA 120/180, for example, can process up to 120 6Pak and 180 QuadPak cans per minute. Both systems can also be built to meet specific production requirements, offering maximum flexibility.

Circular packaging: Be part of the solution

At this year’s exhibition, PakTech is connecting the performance advantage of its handles with sustainability outcomes. Produced from 100% post-consumer recycled HDPE and fully recyclable themselves, these solutions support a circular economy and maximize the use of post-consumer recycled materials. 

This approach is already delivering measurable impact: Over a billion gallon-sized milk jugs (~4 liters) have been recycled into PakTech products since 2020, and 160+ million pounds of plastics (~72.5 million kilograms) have been diverted from landfills and oceans. These material advantages are reinforced by Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) data demonstrating that rHDPE has a two to five times lower carbon footprint than paperboard carriers and cartons. Together, these attributes position PakTech as a strategic partner for brands looking to close the loop on plastic.

“Today, the European regulatory landscape is undergoing a significant shift as the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) comes into force, requiring brands to meet ambitious recycled content targets for 2030,” said Keenan Hoar-Perez, International Sales Manager at PakTech. “Our focus at interpack is on showing visitors how we can help them strengthen their circular economy efforts without compromising on operational efficiency. To do so, we offer durable recycled handles and automated in-line application systems that help optimize performance on the packaging line, all while protecting products and the planet.”
