A. HATZOPOULOS S.A. presents a novel, fully-recyclable solution for coffee packaging, running at full speed. Ensuring high-barrier properties for the protection of the coffee’s aroma and flavors, the monomaterial film which we designed based on the X-CYCLE packaging technology delivers packaging sustainability, efficiency and full performance.
The high-end X-CYCLE PP materials we developed specifically for the coffee market are in line with the CEFLEX and OPRL guidelines for flexible packaging design for recycling. Our solution replaces the traditional multi-material coffee triplex laminates with a mono-material, 89my formulation constructed exclusively from polypropylene films and thus it can be easily recycled through the PP recycling streams already existing in several European countries including the UK.
The switch to the new X-CYCLE PP Fast Forward film is easy and efficient, as it achieves optimal performance during the packing process. Approved by the leading global packaging machine producers, this fully-recyclable packaging system reaches an output rate of over 70 side-gusseted coffee packs per minute.
The novel film to be presented live at the event incorporates high-barrier properties against oxygen, aroma and water vapor. This way it is able to provide total safety and guarantee high protection of the coffee quality, maintaining the aromas and the various coffee flavors rich and vibrant for a long shelf-life.
Many coffee brands now decide to follow a holistic approach to Sustainability in their supply chain, going beyond their coffee sourcing and looking to switch also their packaging into more sustainable alternatives. At A. HATZOPOULOS S.A. we are committed to help our partners achieve their current and future sustainability goals. With the vision for a better future planet, we have developed the next generation of flexible packaging solutions for coffee, designed for recycling: X-CYCLE PP Fast Forward.
