Spotlight on Hoffer Plastics and BBC Cellpack: A 100% Sustainable Pouch<\/h2>\r\n

\"cell-pouch\"Hoffer Plastics is proud to have partnered with BBC Cellpack to create a breakthrough innovation in flexible pouch packaging for the European market.\u00a0CELLPouch is a state-of-the-art stand-up pouch that\u2019s 100% recyclable.\u00a0It was designed to meet the European Commission’s strict requirements, whereby all plastic packaging on the EU market must be recyclable by 2030. Every element of the packaging is recyclable:\u00a0the printed laminate film as well as the closure cap can be disposed of with the household recyclable materials and re-purposed for other uses. The technology used to produce CELLPouch has been proven to reduce carbon emissions and enables processing of recyclable, biodegradeable nanomaterials. In addition to being 100% recyclable, CELLPouch also offers substantial benefits for consumers.\u00a0Its superior film barrier protects against oxygen and water vapor damage, and can withstand hot filled products. This helps ensure superior product quality and safety, as does its child proof safety cap. The laminate material used in forming the pouch can be customized in terms of colors, printing and branding, and the various sizes available can accommodate variations in the caps and closures.\u00a0It\u2019s an exciting, sustainable packaging solution for a wide range of food, beverage, personal care and household products. \u201cWe were honored to work with the BBC Cellpack Team on this truly breakthrough sustainable innovation\u201d, says Alex Hoffer, Vice President of Business Development for Hoffer Plastics. \u201cWe\u2019re excited about the opportunity to co-create products that bring substantial benefits to the environment and consumers.\u201d The collective Hoffer\/Cellpack Team looks forward to bringing CELLPouch to Europe and other consumers around the globe.<\/p>\r\n
