Every paper-based wrapper has a second life waiting – or 25. Used paper gets collected, sorted, and pulped into a fibrous slurry. Screens then separate usable fibers from contaminants — string, metal, plastic coatings and adhesives. What passes through becomes new paper. What doesn't gets rejected. Sounds simple. In practice, this step decides whether packaging actually re-enters the circular economy or just gets labeled "recyclable" on a spec sheet. Composite materials and barrier paper behave quite different once they hit the pulper — and that difference matters more than most packaging decisions account for. It's also why recyclability on paper doesn't always translate into recycling infrastructure that can actually handle it. We put that to the test. Our whitepaper breaks down what really happens to barrier paper in the recycling stream, backed by CEPI testing data. 👉 Download the whitepaper at https://lnkd.in/e6ZAvK7Q

The paper journey doesn’t end at the bin—it’s just the beginning of a new life. At the final stop of our roadshow #PackItInPaper, we’re visiting the heart of the packaging industry’s transformation: the Koehler paper mill in Greiz. This is where the magic happens, where wastepaper goes through a proprietary in-house process, including deinking, to become unrivaled premium paper. The raw material for tomorrow’s premium packaging solutions. We’re exploring the critical question: How do we ensure paper-based packaging doesn’t just disappear, but re-enters the circular economy as a high-quality input for something new? It’s not just about collecting; it’s about design, sorting, and the invisible science that keeps packaging solutions in the loop. From manufacturer to supplier, every step matters. Join us to see the full circle in action. The future of sustainable packaging isn’t just about creating less waste — it’s about making sure nothing is ever truly wasted. 🎥 Ready to see the journey complete?

Where do tomorrow's packaging solutions actually get their start? Not on the production line — in the research lab. Next stop for #PackItInPaper: the PTS – Institut für Fasern & Papier gGmbH in Heidenau, where experts research, test, and fine-tune paper-based packaging materials long before they reach a shelf — with recyclability and PPWR compliance built in from day one. We sat down with Dr. Thorsten Voß, Managing Director of PTS, to talk about what it really takes to make fibre-based packaging work in practice — not just in theory. 🎥 What separates "recyclable in theory" from "recyclable in reality"?

How to make high-end packaging solutions shine without the plastic. On our roadshow #PackItInPaper we’re challenging a common assumption about premium food packaging. Why do so many consumers still associate brilliance and luxury with plastic, when the answer might be hiding in plain sight? We’re stopping in Berlin, where Storck makes life sweet. Here we talk about paper-based packaging that catches the eye, elevates the brand, and is fully recyclable. See how the circular economy is redefining what high-end packaging looks like. The future of food packaging is more dazzling than you think ✨. 🎥 Ready to see the magic behind the shine? Watch the video and see paper-based packaging sparkle. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eYxSqmhy

What if the "simplest" packaging solution is actually a masterclass in complexity? On our roadshow #PackItInPaper we’re peeling back the layers of the everyday to reveal the hidden science behind the packaging industry. What looks simple on the shelf turns out to be a high-stakes challenge for packaging manufacturers. Elmshorn is Germany’s rolled-oats capital and home to the popular Peter Kölln GmbH & Co. KGaA brand. We look at how to build a paper-based packaging system that holds up to the toughest demands of the circular economy – while keeping your favourite breakfast crunchy. It’s a story of balancing acts, hidden barriers, and the clever dance between materials. The answer isn’t just in the design; it’s in the details you never see. 🎥 Curious yet?

Take a guess: what are the two big goals in food packaging? 1️⃣ protect the product and 2️⃣ win over the consumer So can you cut waste and boost recyclability without an expensive machinery overhaul? For manufacturers and suppliers in general, there’s a third factor at play: time. Every second of downtime makes a seamless transition more difficult. Our roadshow #PackItInPaper is heading to Bremen, where we visit Jenny Linnemann and Lena Berkemeyer from Mondelez to exchange ideas about future-proof packaging solutions. Join us to find out what matters most to Mondelez when it comes to the packaging of the future. 🎥 Watch the video to find out more and visit our website 👉 https://lnkd.in/eRNyR7qK
