Our outstanding expertise, high-quality products and services as well as our sustainable corporate strategy make us a reliable partner for flexible and sustainable food packaging films. With our unique technology platform, speed of development and expertise that includes customized packaging concepts, we optimally support our customers in meeting their daily requirements. The fact that packaging concepts by SÜDPACK can also be particularly resource-efficient is demonstrated by our strong portfolio for sustainable food packaging. Because today, the recyclability of packaging solutions is crucial.
SÜDPACK meets the requirements of food manufacturers and brands with packaging solutions that combine product protection, shelf life, and strong brand impact at the POS. Our concepts help preserve the quality of sensitive foods and provide reliable protection against moisture, oxygen, light, and UV radiation, thereby helping to extend shelf life. High-quality, sustainable printing technologies and precise finishing create a strong impact on the shelf and help drive sales. Processability is equally important: Our films run reliably on standard packaging lines and enable efficient processes. This results in solutions that deliver outstanding functionality, strengthen brands, and meet the challenging requirements of the food industry.
At SÜDPACK, sustainability has been part of our DNA for many years. It is firmly embedded in our corporate strategy. Responsible business practices are essential to us, and we see ourselves as pioneers in the circular economy. Sustainability at SÜDPACK spans the entire life cycle of a packaging solution – from resource-efficient material selection and efficient production processes to recycling at the end of our film solutions’ useful life. We take a holistic approach that encompasses environmental, economic, and social aspects. Our focus is on developing solutions that meet the requirements of the food industry while also supporting the goals of a sustainable, future-ready circular economy. This mindset fuels our innovative strength and drives us to continuously refine our packaging concepts and make them even more sustainable.
Sustainable packaging concepts are built around the circular economy. They combine material efficiency with recyclability. Particularly in food packaging, we focus on mono-material solutions that can be easily separated and enable high recycling rates. At the same time, we combine a high level of product protection with an optimized use of materials – helping reduce overall resource consumption. The Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) introduces stricter requirements for recyclability, recycled content, and packaging design. We offer solutions that meet both regulatory and environmental requirements while helping drive the transition to a functioning circular economy.
At SÜDPACK, design for recycling means developing packaging that is recyclable and can be integrated into closed material loops over the long term. Our goal is to design packaging from the outset so that it can be easily separated, recycled, and returned to the cycle as a valuable raw material. This includes using mono-material structures, reducing complex material combinations, and optimizing barrier and functional properties without compromising product protection. Through this approach, we actively contribute to the circular economy, reduce resource consumption, and help our customers reliably meet increasing regulatory requirements – particularly under the PPWR. The result is packaging solutions that combine environmental responsibility with outstanding technical performance.
