WestRock Announces Expansion Of Its CanCollar Multipack Line Atlanta, Georgia based WestRock Co. has announced an expansion of its CanCollar line of beverage multipack hold- ers with the introduction of CanCollar X, which it calls “a fiber-based solution for sustainable large format canned beverage packaging, enabling as much as 50 percent material reduction compared to fully enclosed traditional packaging.” “With CanCollar X we have an opportunity to signifi- cantly reduce materials when compared to fully-enclosed cartons and replace hard-to-recycle plastic shrink wrap with recyclable fiber-based packaging, improving circular- ity at impressive scale,” says Chris Davidson, Vice Presi- dent of Sustainability at WestRock. Part of the wider CanCollar Fortuna line, CanCollar X uses a similar fiber-based, glue-free design which is com- fortable for consumers to handle and “optimizes the use of material to bundle multipacks for larger formats.”
