Share this article

Description

The recyclable packaging solution, developed by A. HATZOPOULOS S.A. for the Greek olives’ producer GAEA, has been awarded with the WorldStar 2022 in the Food Category. GAEA has partnered with A. HATZOPOULOS S.A. for the launch of its first recyclable, mono-material olives’ snack packs destined for the European market. The conventional packaging film previously-used for the olives packs was completely redesigned, to meet the latest guidelines for packaging design for recycling, based on the X-CYCLE packaging concept. The mono-material, all-PP packs of this new product line have been certified by Interseroh and carry the “Made for Recycling” mark. At the same time, the new resource-efficient film offers an important pack weight reduction, compared to the previous film formulation, while it maintains the same functional and high-protective properties. We are thrilled that the new recyclable solution we designed for GAEA has gained the highest level of international recognition, positioned among the greatest achievements in packaging innovation worldwide.
