Zotefoams focuses on key markets with the greatest potential to enhance circularity and reduce dependence on fossil fuel-derived materials. Their latest innovation, Rezorce Circular Packaging, is a recyclable HDPE mono-material barrier packaging range that offers a sustainable alternative to composite barrier packaging. This groundbreaking solution is the result of a Joint Development Agreement with a major global player in beverage packaging and is set to undergo trials with a leading European retailer soon.
Rezorce is designed to be easily recyclable through standard household collection methods and boasts a lower environmental impact compared to traditional packaging materials like Liquid Packaging Board (LPB) for juice cartons. The material’s patented multi-layer structure allows for the integration of recycled plastic in its core, aligning with the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive.
Neil Court-Johnston, president of Mucell Extrusion at Zotefoams, emphasized the company’s commitment to sustainability, stating, “Sustainability is at the forefront of everything we do at Zotefoams as we strive to provide customers with optimal material solutions that benefit society across various applications and industries.” Joining the RECOUP membership base reflects Zotefoams’ dedication to collaborative efforts in supporting the sustainable use of plastics.
Stuart Foster, chief executive of RECOUP, expressed excitement over Zotefoams’ membership and highlighted the importance of working together to achieve a sustainable and circular economy. The innovative ReZorce circular packaging solution by Zotefoams plays a crucial role in this vision, and both organizations look forward to a fruitful collaboration.
By joining forces with RECOUP, Zotefoams aims to contribute to the creation of a more sustainable future while providing high-quality packaging solutions for the food and drink industry. Their commitment to innovation and environmental stewardship makes them a valuable partner in the journey towards a more sustainable and circular economy.
