Mondi (mondigroup.com) and Werner & Mertz (werner-mertz.com) will introduce a new, patented 100-percent recyclable pouch with detachable decorative panels in 2019. The pouch replaces conventional flexible packaging for Frosch products. The design is the result of a joint effort by Werner & Mertz, Mondi, EPEA Switzerland (Cradle to Cradle), Der Grüne Punkt – Duales System Deutschland and Institut cyclos-HTP.
In 2014 Werner & Mertz decided to develop packaging that is 100 percent recyclable. And Mondi was there to assist. It was not about developing flexible plastic packaging that is only theoretically recyclable; the design aim was to “reverse-engineer” the recycling process: to create packaging fit for every stage of the recycling process.
