Mondi Expands Sustainable Pet Food Packaging Mondi is investing nearly 65 million Euro in three Consumer Flexibles packaging plants in Europe in order to meet growing customer demand for sus- tainable pet food packaging solutions. The Europe- an pet food market has grown significantly in recent years, driven by a consistent rise in pet ownership. This trend increased during the COVID-19 pandem- ic and is expected to continue for many years to come, according to a report from Mackenzie 2020. This project is part of Mondi’s previously an- nounced 1 billion Euro expansionary capital invest- ment program to accelerate growth in sustainable packaging. Work has already started at Mondi Korneuburg (Austria) and includes investments in new machin- ery and equipment as well as an expanded pro- duction area. These changes will lead to a capacity increase for pre-made retort stand-up pouches for wet pet food. New Investment The group is also investing in new machinery at Mondi Halle and Mondi Steinfeld in Germany, to in- crease production capacity of sustainable pre-made bag solutions for pet food, as well as home and personal care. This will enable future growth and support cus- tomers to switch from multi-layer, non-recyclable packaging to more sustainable alternatives such as mono-material recyclable stand-up pouches and pa- per-based pre-made bags. This investment also supports our Mondi Action Plan 2030 (MAP2030) sustainability framework which is focused on circular driven solutions, creat- ed by empowered people, taking action on climate. With these projects, we’re increasing operational ef- ficiency and reducing our own energy consumption while also connecting our production network.” Print & Pack Named Apex Supplier For Australasia Packaging solutions firm Print & Pack has been appointed as the official supplier of Apex Interna- tional within the Australasia region.
