In the drinks and beverage industry, packaging plays a crucial role in delivering products safely and efficiently. However, with increasing environmental awareness, consumers are showing more interest in the packaging used by brands. As a result, sustainability has become a top priority for both companies and customers alike. For brands in the drinks and beverage industry, adopting sustainable packaging solutions is essential to meet consumer expectations and an opportunity to contribute to a circular economy for plastics.
Plastic collation shrink film remains one of the most efficient packaging materials for the drinks and beverage industry due to its strength, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. Innovations such as Oceanix collation shrink Film and collation shrink film containing recycled plastic are increasing in popularity due to their lower carbon properties and sustainable credentials.
Oceanix Collation Shrink Film is made using maritime waste such as fishing net and ropes helping to prevent ocean waste and reduce the demand for virgin plastics. Oceanix HDPE Collation Shrink Film also delivers the same high performance as traditional virgin plastic shrink films. This means drinks and beverage products can be bundled securely, shipped efficiently, and stored safely, without compromising packaging quality.
Sustainability in the drinks and beverage industry extends to closing the loop on post-consumer waste. Duo provides a closed loop recycling system where packaging waste is collected, recycled and the recycled pellet reused to manufacture new products. Duo collects used or waste collation shrink film from production sites, distribution centres, and even retail locations. Instead of this waste ending up in general waste or landfills, it is recycled at our recycling facility in Leeds, Duclo Recycling.
The key to sustainable packaging use in the drinks and beverage industry lies in utilising low carbon materials and keeping post-consumer waste within a circular economy. Sustainable packaging in the drinks and beverage industry doesn’t mean moving away from plastic – it means using plastic in smarter, more responsible ways. By choosing Oceanix Collation Shrink film or recycled plastic and committing to a closed loop recycling system, drinks and beverage brands can meet consumer expectations and contribute to a circular economy.
