developments for recyclates drive sustainable projects forward.</p> <!--more--> <p style="font-size: 16px;">For the dedicated chemist and recycling expert Dr. Manica Ulcnik-Krump, it's all about chemistry. Especially in plastic recycling, chemistry is the key to success, she is certain, and she is proud to lead the first and so far only EU-accredited research institution specializing in the analysis and development of recyclates. The competence center <span style="font-weight: bold;">Interzero Plastics Innovations</span>, accredited according to ISO/IEC 17025:2017, has just moved to its new location in Lenart, Slovenia. Nine employees, equipped with state-of-the-art equipment in the chemical-thermal and physical-mechanical laboratory as well as pilot plants, are advancing plastic packaging such as squeeze pouches from Gualapack, shipping boxes from Memo, and bottles from Rupar Plastika towards a circular economy.</p> <p style="font-size: 16px;"><img src="https://gualapack.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Sacchi.png?width=221&height=221&name=Sacchi.png" width="221" height="221" loading="lazy" alt="Sacchi" style="height: auto; max-width: 100%; width: 221px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block;" srcset="https://gualapack.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Sacchi.png?width=111&height=111&name=Sacchi.png 111w, https://gualapack.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Sacchi.png?width=221&height=221&name=Sacchi.png 221w, https://gualapack.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Sacchi.png?width=332&height=332&name=Sacchi.png 332w, https://gualapack.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Sacchi.png?width=442&height=442&name=Sacchi.png 442w, https://gualapack.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Sacchi.png?width=553&height=553&name=Sacchi.png 553w, https://gualapack.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Sacchi.png?width=663&height=663&name=Sacchi.png 663w" sizes="(max-width: 221px) 100vw, 221px"></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em style="background-color: transparent; letter-spacing: 0px; text-align: var(--bs-body-text-align);">"For us, Interzero's expertise in verifying the recyclability of our Pouch 5 has been and continues to be very important.", </em><em style="background-color: transparent; letter-spacing: 0px; text-align: var(--bs-body-text-align);">says Lorenzo Sacchi,<br>Sustainability Manager at Gualapack.</em></p> <p><em>“Compromises on printability, feel, or functionality were not an option for us and our customers,”</em> describes <span style="font-weight: bold;">Lorenzo Sacchi</span>, Sustainability Manager at Gualapack from Alessandria, Italy, the premise behind the development of “Pouch 5.” This is the <a href="/recyclable-pouches?hsLang=en" rel="noopener" target="_blank">first stand-up pouch with a spout</a> (spouted pouch) made of PP monomaterial, which is 100% recyclable.</p> <p>Every year, around 250 packaging solutions from manufacturers across Europe are tested and <span style="font-weight: bold;">evaluated in Slovenia according to international standards</span>. Pouch 5 was included in 2020 and 2022 and received <span style="font-weight: bold;">20 out of 20</span> possible points each time – <span style="font-weight: bold;">fully recyclable</span>. “<em>For us, Interzero’s expertise in verifying the recyclability of Pouch 5 has been and continues to be essential. We are proud to have developed an optimal product</em>,” says Lorenzo Sacchi.</p> <p>The innovative packaging of the leading supplier of squeezable pouches was developed in 2020 in compliance with CEFLEX guidelines, tested by Tomra for sortability, and chemically and mechanically certified by Interzero. <em>“The verification of recyclability and possible optimization for circular economy integration is one of our three key pillars,”</em> explains Dr. Manica Ulcnik-Krump about the collaboration with Gualapack.</p> <p>How useful the product is can be seen in its success. In 2021, the PP monomaterial pouch won the <span style="font-weight: bold;">"Best Packaging Award" in Italy</span>. More and more customers, including major brand owners such as Nestlé and Kraft Heinz, are adopting it. <em>“Pouch 5 is now our flagship product. It already accounts for around one-third of our revenue from flexible packaging,”</em> reports Lorenzo Sacchi.</p> <p>This stand-up pouch with a spout from Gualapack was the first to be made entirely of PP, making it recyclable, and is suitable for both cold and hot filling.</p> <p><img src="https://gualapack.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Gualapack%20Pouch5%20(BQ).jpg?width=1280&height=720&name=Gualapack%20Pouch5%20(BQ).jpg" width="1280" height="720" loading="lazy" alt="Gualapack Pouch5 (BQ)" style="height: auto; max-width: 100%; width: 1280px;" srcset="https://gualapack.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Gualapack%20Pouch5%20(BQ).jpg?width=640&height=360&name=Gualapack%20Pouch5%20(BQ).jpg 640w, https://gualapack.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Gualapack%20Pouch5%20(BQ).jpg?width=1280&height=720&name=Gualapack%20Pouch5%20(BQ).jpg 1280w, https://gualapack.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Gualapack%20Pouch5%20(BQ).jpg?width=1920&height=1080&name=Gualapack%20Pouch5%20(BQ).jpg 1920w, https://gualapack.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Gualapack%20Pouch5%20(BQ).jpg?width=2560&height=1440&name=Gualapack%20Pouch5%20(BQ).jpg 2560w, https://gualapack.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Gualapack%20Pouch5%20(BQ).jpg?width=3200&height=1800&name=Gualapack%20Pouch5%20(BQ).jpg 3200w, https://gualapack.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Gualapack%20Pouch5%20(BQ).jpg?width=3840&height=2160&name=Gualapack%20Pouch5%20(BQ).jpg 3840w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px"><br><br>The pouch is available in sizes ranging from <span style="font-weight: bold;">70 to 200 ml</span>, suitable for both <span style="font-weight: bold;">cold filling</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;">sterilization and pasteurization</span>, making it applicable for <span style="font-weight: bold;">yogurt and baby food as well</span>. Naturally, packaging for food filling requires <span style="font-weight: bold;">good barrier properties</span>, which in this case are achieved through a three-layer solution with a biaxially stretched middle film.</p> <p><br>The <span style="font-weight: bold;">monomaterial PP pouches</span> have <span style="font-weight: bold;">good printability</span> on the outer layer and even allow for a <span style="font-weight: bold;">matte varnish effect</span>. The <span style="font-weight: bold;">monovariant</span> offers an additional advantage over the standard version: it generates <span style="font-weight: bold;">around 40% less CO₂</span> during production, lifecycle, and recycling, making it particularly interesting for companies looking to reduce their carbon footprint.</p> <p>However, Gualapack does not only offer the flexible packaging itself; upon request, a complete package including <span style="font-weight: bold;">pouch</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">filling line</span>, and <span style="font-weight: bold;">closure</span> is available.</p> <p>Article originally published in German in the <a href="https://kprofi-epaper.s3.amazonaws.com/k-profi/2025_02/index.html#36" rel="noopener">K-profi</a> magazine, February 2025</p> <div id="hs_cos_wrapper_widget_324c76c6-b156-4f30-9dd7-62750520e641" class="hs_cos_wrapper hs_cos_wrapper_widget hs_cos_wrapper_type_module" style="" data-hs-cos-general-type="widget" data-hs-cos-type="module"> <div id="widget_324c76c6-b156-4f30-9dd7-62750520e641" class="eael-creative-button-wrapper"> <a href="https://gualapack.com/contact?hsLang=en" id="widget_324c76c6-b156-4f30-9dd7-62750520e641_hs_button" class="hs-button eael-creative-button" rel=""> <div class="creative-button-inner"> <span class="cretive-button-text">Contact us to learn more</span> </div> </a> </div> </div> <p style="font-size: 16px;"> </p></span> </div> <div class="post-navigation"> <div class="prev"> <a href="/news/vertical-integration-flexible-packaging?hsLang=en" rel="prev"> <span class="arrow-prev"> <i class="fa fa-angle-left" aria-hidden="true"></i> </span> <span class="prev_link"> <span class="label">Previous</span> <span class="title">Vertical integration as a game-changer in flexible packaging</span> </span> </a> </div> <div class="next"> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="blog-sidebar"> <div class="blog-recent-posts"> <h2>You may also be interested in:</h2> <div class="blog-recent-posts__list"> <div class="related-item"> <a class="image" href="https://gualapack.com/news/gualapack-pharma-digital-printing-blister-foil?hsLang=en"> <div class="inner"> <img width="150" height="150" src="https://gualapack.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blister%20foils%20digital%20printing%20technology-1.jpg?width=150&height=150&name=Blister%20foils%20digital%20printing%20technology-1.jpg" alt="Gualapack Pharma revolutionizes blister foil production with digital printing " srcset="https://gualapack.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blister%20foils%20digital%20printing%20technology-1.jpg?width=75&height=75&name=Blister%20foils%20digital%20printing%20technology-1.jpg 75w, https://gualapack.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blister%20foils%20digital%20printing%20technology-1.jpg?width=150&height=150&name=Blister%20foils%20digital%20printing%20technology-1.jpg 150w, https://gualapack.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blister%20foils%20digital%20printing%20technology-1.jpg?width=225&height=225&name=Blister%20foils%20digital%20printing%20technology-1.jpg 225w, https://gualapack.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blister%20foils%20digital%20printing%20technology-1.jpg?width=300&height=300&name=Blister%20foils%20digital%20printing%20technology-1.jpg 300w, https://gualapack.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blister%20foils%20digital%20printing%20technology-1.jpg?width=375&height=375&name=Blister%20foils%20digital%20printing%20technology-1.jpg 375w, https://gualapack.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blister%20foils%20digital%20printing%20technology-1.jpg?width=450&height=450&name=Blister%20foils%20digital%20printing%20technology-1.jpg 450w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px"> </div> </a> <div class="title"> <h3> <a href="https://gualapack.com/news/gualapack-pharma-digital-printing-blister-foil?hsLang=en"> Gualapack Pharma revolutionizes blister foil production with digital printing </a> </h3> </div> </div> <div class="related-item"> <a class="image" href="https://gualapack.com/news/packaging-insights-embracing-change-in-flexible-packaging?hsLang=en"> <div class="inner"> <img width="150" height="150" src="https://gualapack.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Packaging-insight_241017_Thumbnail%20copia.jpg?width=150&height=150&name=Packaging-insight_241017_Thumbnail%20copia.jpg" alt="Packaging Insights -
