Preventing overpacking to reduce packaging waste To reduce packaging waste, it is important to prevent overpacking. If you want to prevent overpacking, EVAL™ EVOH can help you achieve the optimum balance between protection, minimal material use and recyclability. A noteworthy trend is a transition from rigid structures (such as tubes, trays and jars) to flexible structures (such as stand-up pouches, sachets, flow packs, shrink film, ...) , which can be created

using EVAL™ EVOH. These flexible structures can be adapted to just the right sizes, shapes and proportions. You will need less material and boost sustainability. For example, a barrier stand-up pouch can perform as glass, metal or hybrid structures, using much less material. However, always keep in mind that consumer convenience is key. Sometimes it is best to transition to flexible structures – and sometimes optimising your existing rigid structure is the way to go. Further savings may originate from EVAL™ EVOH’s low material footprint and energy conservation during processing and distribution . Lighter, smartly designed packaging means fewer trucks on the road.
