Building on its successful operations in Kenya and South Africa, recently strengthened with the acquisition of the facility owned by Astir Vitogiannis in Johannesburg, Guala Closures is investing in Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation and one of its fastest-growing markets.
On a mission to reduce plastic pollution and its climate effects, Blue Ocean Closures AB has developed a proprietary vaccum press forming technology and is producing fiber-based closures, recyclable as paper.
In his new role, Meussling will continue to lead the brand’s sustainability efforts and drive collaboration with industry suppliers and partners to accelerate the development of innovative, sustainable flexible packaging solutions.
Partnering with TIPA and the Fresh-Lock team enabled them to move away from petrochemical-based packaging and step into the world of bio-based, compostable solutions.
The solution’s special design enables flexible integration of the security feature, offering an effective and cost-efficient solution for product protection, and helping to secure the broader pharmaceutical supply chain.
Advances in compostable packaging technology now offer innovative packaging solutions made of plant-based and other compostable plastics to create compostable zippers and closures that offer the same durability and functionality as conventional plastic closures.
These new reclosable solutions for flexible packaging are designed with TIPA's proprietary home compostable resin formulation for various end-use markets including food, nutraceuticals, home and personal care and more.
