Austrian manufacturing company Mondi has partnered with Germany’s Werner & Mertz and several other firms to develop a fully recyclable plastic pouch. The collaborative effort reverse-engineered the packaging to ensure it was fit for recycling at every stage, while the innovative design comprises a mono-polyethylene pouch and an outer layer on which a product's branding is printed. The two components, as well as the polyethylene spout and cap, can all be separated and recycled. In addition to its environmental benefits, this new product will also help reduce waste in landfills.
