Sonoco Consumer Products Europe has teamed up with Vegeplast to launch the Vegetop container with a special shaker top made of organic, compostable plastic.
Sonoco, the rigid paper, plastics and closures firm is using a specialist for injection-moulded and biodegradable plastic from Vegeplast, boosting its sustainability credentials.
The container is made of recycled paper with a robust paperboard base featuring a product-specific inner coating.
“We can now offer our customers a rigid paperboard container that sets new standards in environmental friendliness,” said Sébastien Fabre, sales manager at Sonoco. “The Vegetop® cap and our containers offer a perfect combination. The body of the container is recyclable and the plastic lid is 100% compostable.”
Rolf Regelmann, director of sales and marketing at Sonoco Consumer Products Europe, added: “Today’s consumers place increasing importance on environmentally-friendly packaging. The rigid paperboard containers with Vegetop meet these expectations without compromising on visual appeal. Our Vegetop containers stand out at the point of sale and are extremely convenient for consumers thanks to the practical shaker top.”
