A collaborative effort in Australia has produced a new type of recycled wrapper for Nestlé’s KitKat that relies on an advanced recycling technology called Cat-HTR.
Collaboration has always been an essential ingredient for consumer packaged goods (CPGs) companies and value-chain partners when introducing a new product or packaging format.
A benefit of technology is it gives us the ability to use our time more wisely and the means to do so. Saving time by automating your purchases could mean scheduling your cat food to get delivered to your doorstep every two weeks, or picking out new makeup without leaving the house.

2020 was a transformational and challenging year in many ways, as flexible packaging companies, printers and converters met increased demand due to the pandemic’s push toward grocery and e-commerce channels.
