Sustainable Transition: From Plastic Containers to Flexible Pouches
In response to SUP legislation, Signature Foods sought a sustainable alternative to their single-serve plastic salad containers. The solution was found in flexible pouch packaging. To fill Johma oet Twente’s renowned salads into these pouches, Omori Europe provided a pouch machine, complete with an integrated filling system and output trajectory, playing a key role in this innovative project. In consultation with our client, this machine was custom-adapted to fill the salads efficiently and hygienically. This technological solution enables our client not only to comply with SUP legislation but also to make a significant step towards sustainability without compromising product quality, taste, convenience, or variety.
Conclusion: Sustainability and Efficiency Go Hand in Hand
The shift to pouch packaging demonstrates how sustainability and efficiency can reinforce each other. With a significant reduction in plastic usage and improved business processes, we are taking a major step towards a greener and more efficient future. The collaboration between our organizations has led to a successful balance between technological innovation and sustainability, resulting in less plastic and less food waste.
