K3® r100 builds on Greiner Packaging’s well-established cardboard-plastic packaging concept in Europe and introduces a key development: the cardboard wrap and plastic cup are designed to separate automatically during the waste disposal process without human intervention.
Coperion is the first provider of complete decontamination systems featuring twin screw extruders and EcoFresh silo degassing to offer the market a highly efficient solution for the production of food-grade recyclates, covering capacities from small throughputs up to 6,000 kg/h.
The solution was brought to market in collaboration with the Spanish leading seafood producer Jealsa, combining expertise in food packaging from Tetra Pak with decades of experience in producing high-quality seafood products from Jealsa.
This unique integration marks a fundamental shift in packaging design, transforming barrier performance from a dedicated material layer into a functional property of the ink itself.
As Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws are being implemented across seven U.S. states, there is growing pressure to meet ambitious recycling performance targets that cannot be achieved through infrastructure alone.
The launch includes redesigned World Art™ hot cups made with FSC®-certified paperboard, new aluminum cold cups made with 90% recycled content, and additions to the company’s Veda™ line of reusable products.
Supported by The Recycling Partnership, this program recognizes organizations strengthening North American recycling systems through long-term commitments to purchase and use domestic post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic.
The partnership delivers the first integrated digital solution to make EPR and PPWR reporting across all EU markets seamless, scalable and cost-efficient.
