Erdbär launches in Germany the first commercial bio-based Spouted Pouch, produced by GualapackGroup

Written by Guala Pack | April 29, 2017

The launch of erdbär Freche Freunde´s new eco-friendly pouch demonstrates the company commitment towards sustainability,  achieving a unique position in the German snack market for kids.  The premade multi-layer laminated pouch, with spout and cap, is mainly made of bio-based polyethylene obtained from renewable sources, such as sugar cane – and is a major achievement to reduce the company’s environmental footprint. The Freche Freunde offer a range of snacks for children, ideal for on-the-go, made of 100% organic fruit and veg with no added sugar or additives.

For Gualapack the launch of a new generation of eco-friendly CheerNEXT, made of more than 80% of renewable sourced polymers, is a world première that demonstrates the longstanding commitment of the Group to reduce the environmental impact of its products. The laminates used for this development are the bio-based LamiNEXT, an internal production by Safta, part of the GualapackGroup.

We take the opportunity to congratulate our client erdbär for this outstanding launch.
