Eco Flexibles win at The Grocer New Product and Packaging Awards 2024

Eco Flexibles has been recognised in the Flexible Plastic Pack of the Year Award at a prestigious industry awards ceremony. 

 

The Grocer New Product and Packaging Awards 2024, held on 8th November at Wembley Stadium, London, celebrated the latest and greatest innovations to be found in the aisles over the past 18 months. 

 

The company’s collaborative project with fruit and nut snack brand Whitworth’s, the ‘Mission Nutrition’ range was awarded ‘Champion Winner’ at the ceremony. Comprising a mono polyolefin structure, the project showcases Eco Flexibles’ expertise in producing high performance recyclable packaging while maintaining unique eye-catching quality. 

 

The project demonstrated how digital inkjet technologies, backed by leading design expertise, can rapidly solve many of the classic industry pain points and roadblocks to deliver an entirely new level of production agility and speed to market. 

 

Simon Buswell, Director at Eco Flexibles, said: “This was an exciting project to be a part of and we are delighted it has been recognised at The Grocer New Product and Packaging Awards. It was important for us to show that recyclable flexible packaging can still be visually striking and functional, and this ‘Champion’ trophy  win reflects the team’s success in expertly delivering on this.” 

 

Eco Flexibles are specialists in helping brands transition from mixed-material flexible packaging to recyclable monopolymer and paper-based alternatives, offering end-to-end pack development services.  

 

A key factor in Eco Flexibles’ success has been bold investment in future-ready technology at its multi-million-pound production site, including two Fujifilm Jet Press FP790s. The first installation of the machine outside Japan, this water-based inkjet digital press has set new standards in sustainable flexible packaging production. 

 

Simon added: “We are a very forward-looking business and work tirelessly to stay ahead of the curve. We want to be at the forefront of the sustainable flexible packaging market, delivering solutions that people may not think are possible and ultimately make outstanding eco-conscious flexible packaging the norm.” 

 

Sustainability is at the heart of every Eco Flexibles packaging solution. By partnering with clients from concept to completion, the company takes the lead in developing light weight recyclable packaging alternatives that meet the highest standards of performance, while contributing to a robust circular economy.
