Industry News Editor’s Comment


Welcome to the March issue of Converter As someone who pays close attention to the sustainable packaging movement, I am always on the look out for companies taking initiative with their products. Sometimes, however, these innovations fall in my lap. As I discovered on my birthday this month after being gifted a Lego set and, upon opening the box, noted that they have recently made the shift from plastic packaging to paper packaging for their bricks. This eff ort contributes to the company’s sustainability commitments, aiming to use sustainable materials by 2032, cut carbon emissions by 37 percent from 2019 levels and achieve net-zero emissions across its value chain by 2050. It is a pleasure to see and I can only hope it continues. In this month’s issue, we are delving into the features of Adhesive Applications, Coating and Laminating, Flexible Packaging, Slitting and Rewinding, and Static Control and Web Cleaning. As always, do feel free to get in contact with me if you would like to contribute to any future issues of Converter magazine or if you have any feedback to provide. I would love to hear from you!

Berry’s Reusable Cups Support Returnable Cup Initiative


Berry Global’s range of reusable plastic cups has been selected for the pioneering Borrow Cup ‘collaborative returnable cup initiative’, which was launched in Glasgow, UK, at the end of January. Borrow Cup, developed by award-winning environmental charity Hubbub and Glasgow-based reusable packaging systems provider Reposit, provides a shared system that enables consumers to avoid disposable cups, by borrowing a returnable cup from any participating location. The 12-week fact finding and data gathering project involves over 40 businesses, including local cafés alongside major brands such as Costa Coffee, Caffè Nero and Burger King UK.
