Sudpack extends CarbonLite mono-material film brand to dairy pouches
Sudpack has consolidated its Pure-Line mono-material PP and PE pouch films under a new brand, CarbonLite, covering flowpacks, doypacks and block-bottom pouches for snacks, cheese, baguettes and confectionery. The company has now extended the CarbonLite PurePP technology to spouted pouches for cold-filled drinkable yoghurt, citing recyclability above 95% and a CO2e footprint per square metre over 40% lower than an equivalent PET/aluminium/PE laminate. A Pure PP flowpack in the range has achieved a 92% recycling rate certified by cyclos-HTP, positioning the range ahead of the EU's Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation.
