HOW TO REDUCE (a lot!) PLASTIC FROM CHOCOLATE DOYPACK (STAND UP POUCH)

There are moments in which food companies face apparently contradictory requirements. The chocolate producers, for example, have raised the need to combine these three demands:

  1. Meet the social demand of reducing plastic consumption and improving recyclability.
  2. Achieve the demanded attractive format from the distribution stage.
  3. Keep a production rate with materials that do not harm or slow down the speed of the machines.

As difficult as it may seem, in Eniter we have managed to meet all those demands with a doypack, exclusively designed to contain chocolate.

Reduce 60% of the amount of plastic used

To date, the manufacturers offered medium- and small-size doypack, which included plastic complexes, for chocolate. In Eniter, we present the new proposal with a different material: paper.

That’s right, we have created a complex, mainly made out of paper, which is capable of offering the same protection to the food as plastic and, at the same time, is recyclable. We just need to deposit the used packaging in the paper and cardboard container.

We have kept the window

Another one of the advantages of this packaging is that it allows the inclusion of a functional window, which is perfect for showing the product to the consumers. Droplets, granulated food, mini-portions, etc. Is there, businesswise, anything better than showing these delicious treats to the public? It goes without saying that the client decides the shape of the window: a star, a cloud or, of course, a heart for the most romantic occasions.

Reel and pre-made bags

We love the doypack, because of its practicality and popularity, but these packaging, mainly made of paper, can also be delivered in a reel or in other packaging formats, depending on our client’s needs.

THESE ARE THE PACKAGES MADE UP 100% OF PAPER IN FLOWPACK FOR CHOCOLATE AND OTHER BARS

More and more consumers demand the reduction of non-reusable plastics. The case of sweets and chocolate is no different. However, those who try to avoid the use of plastic do not want to give up the comforts it offers (having a sweet snack in the purse or bag to enjoy any time). Eniter offers chocolate producers and other bars that wish to switch to paper the following solution:

Flowpack made up 100% of paper without having to give up protection.  

After many years of research together with food companies, Eniter has created a product that meets the aforementioned requirements: we have created a flexible, 100%-paper package for flowpack, which makes it a 100%-recyclable package that we can deposit in the paper and cardboard container. It can even be recycled in the organic container, since it is a compostable material.
It is likewise worth mentioning that it offers a high barrier to appropriately protect the food and to maintain its shelf life unaltered. And lastly, it is heat-sealable. In short, we can change the material by keeping the basic aspects required by the industrial process as well as the food itself.

More than just a trend

Using paper in a reasonable way is a decision that many companies are considering (and implementing). They know that, in order to reduce the environmental impact, we need time to test the new material. They are also aware that the introduction of compostable materials is ever more important. Therefore, leading this change shows that the company is innovative and conscious; that it is aware of the newest eco-friendly trends.
The companies that are already doing it know that many good things can happen when getting onboard. Are you still considering it? Contact us if you want more information.
