American trade magazine embraces sustainable breakthrough
PACKAGING WORLD, a leader within the packaging industry, has highlighted the revamped JOZO salt shaker as an example of sustainable innovation. This recognition underlines the growing importance of sustainability initiatives within the industry. The article also recognises SFA Packaging's pioneering role in developing solutions that not only meet current needs but are also future-proof.
"JOZO's requirements for the package were that it be 100% recyclable, feature high print quality, and include an optimised closure that would enhance consumer ease of use. Says Alexander Heinsdijk MBA, business development and marketing manager for SFA, the challenge SFA faced was developing a package that was both sustainable and highly attractive. "Switching to a mono-material package was the obvious way to go," he says."
Why JOZO's salt shaker is a game-changer in the packaging industry
The secret behind the success of the JOZO salt shaker lies in the harmony between form and function. The vessel made entirely of polypropylene, including the innovative in-mold label, sets a new standard for recyclability. With this design, SFA Packaging demonstrates that it is possible to produce packaging that is both functional and fully recyclable, without compromising on quality or aesthetics. This is an important step towards achieving a circular economy within the packaging industry.
NextCycle technology: a leap forward in recyclability
At the heart of this innovation is NextCycle technology, developed in collaboration with MCC Verstraete. This technology allows the in-mold label to detach from the keg during recycling, resulting in a purer PP recyclate. This pioneering process addresses one of the most pressing challenges in plastic packaging recycling and marks significant progress on the path to full circularity.
SFA and JOZO: strong together in circular solutions
The successful redevelopment of the JOZO salt shaker is a testament to what is possible when two companies join forces with a shared vision of sustainability and innovation. From initial design to final production, the SFA and JOZO teams worked closely together to ensure that every aspect of the salt shaker met the highest sustainability standards. This collaboration between SFA Packaging and JOZO goes beyond creating a product; it is a partnership that is shaping the future of our industry.
