Siegwerk and Enplater win award for recyclable mono-PP food pouch

Siegwerk and Enplater Group have been given the Labels & Labeling Sustainability Award for a jointly developed recycle-ready mono-material polypropylene pouch for food packaging. The structure combines Siegwerk's high-barrier ink and coating technology with Enplater's converting expertise to replace multi-material laminates while remaining compatible with existing polyolefin recycling streams. The award was presented at LOUPE Americas 2026 in Chicago.

  • The pouch uses Siegwerk's CIRKIT OXYBAR WHITE, an inline oxygen-barrier and white ink technology.
  • The structure is a mono-material polypropylene design intended for existing polyolefin recycling streams.
  • The award was presented at LOUPE Americas 2026 in Chicago.
  • Siegwerk and Enplater Group jointly developed the pouch through their R&D and technical teams.
