Recyclable packaging is quickly becoming an essential part of product development, which is evident with new releases like with the Finish Quantum Ultimate dishwasher tablets. Mondi has teamed up with Reckitt Benckiser (RB) to launch the mono-material for the packaging that comes in the form of a flexible plastic film that is 100% recyclable. This comes as part of RB's commitment to shifting towards 100% of its packaging being either reusable or recyclable by 2025.
Global Key Account Manager, Mondi Consumer Flexibles Olivier Seux spoke on the new Finish Quantum Ultimate dishwasher tablets packaging saying, "Following Mondi’s customer-centric EcoSolutions approach, we worked closely with RB to find the best solution and make this product fully recyclable without sacrificing the high-end look, feel, and performance...Given that this is a premium product line for Finish, it was vital that the resulting stand-up pouch was rigid enough with a smooth appearance while offering exact colour matching and a quality feel. There could be no compromise in the barrier properties of the package, and it also needed to incorporate a recyclable zipper for ease of use in opening and closing the pouch.”
