Mondi and Fressnapf introduce recyclable packaging for dry pet food range

Mondi, a global leader in sustainable packaging and paper, has collaborated with Fressnapf, Europe’s market leader for pet supplies, to switch their packaging to a new range of premium mono-material recyclable solutions using process colour printing technology.

Fressnapf | Maxi Zoo’s exclusive brand SELECT GOLD dry pet food range will now be packed in Mondi’s FlexiBag Recyclable, BarrierPack Recyclable and Recyclable StandUp Pouches.

These mono-material packaging solutions provide strong barrier properties providing protection from moisture, fat and odour and are strong and flexible to pack and store. As certified by Institute cyclos-HTP, the mono-material packaging is recyclable with other mono-polyethylene (PE) films using various existing recycling streams across Europe, contributing to a circular economy. The adaptability of the packs enabled Fressnapf | Maxi Zoo to design around 150 pet food packaging designs from 300 g to 12 kg. All packaging sizes offer long shelf life and ease of use for consumers.

Mondi has an ongoing partnership with Fressnapf | Maxi Zoo and quickly responded to their request to create the new packaging range for the pet food. The new SELECT GOLD range features expanded colour gamut printing together with a new screening technology by U.Günther, providing sharp text and visuals on the packs. The innovative process uses less inks and eliminates chemicals from the plate production. As the colours for each design don’t need changing, transition from one design to another is quicker and more efficient.

The importance of packaging in green logistics

Green logistics is a strategic approach that seeks to reduce the environmental impact of every activity in the supply chain, from sourcing or production to distribution and transportation. It is a comprehensive transformation of the entire strategy, structure and processes of companies, with the aim of creating environmentally responsible and resource-efficient logistics networks. Sustainable warehousing consists of having an infrastructure that is capable of moving goods faster and more efficiently than conventional logistics procedures. This results in a reduction of the pollution produced by this activity, as well as cost savings. In the warehouse, in addition to the machinery and energy sources used, it is essential to analyze and optimize the packaging and order preparation policy. In this sense, the design and use of packaging is a critical point in achieving green logistics. Packaging designs that make the best use of space should be used, both in storage and during transport. In addition, the use of recyclable or reusable materials helps to achieve more sustainable logistics within the company. Here you can learn about our recyclable packaging and our reusable packaging, all of them 100% customizable and personalized, according to the characteristics of the goods to be contained.
