AR Packaging’s fibre-based barrier container Boardio received double AmeriStar awards for two applications of the innovative packaging system in collaboration with Club Coffee and Perfetti Van Melle.
The two AmeriStar award winners are:
• Boardio – The recyclable paper-based can for coffee in collaboration with Club Coffee was awarded in the Beverage, Non-Alcoholic category. By replacing quad seal bags for roast and ground coffees, a plastic reduction of 48% is achieved, landfill waste is minimized and consumer preference for paper packaging is met. The Boardio package contains more than 80% fibre and saves up to 95% in-bound and internal transportation as well as warehousing space.
• Boardio - The recyclable paper bottle for gum and confectionery in collaboration with Perfetti Van Melle was awarded in the Food, Shelf-stable category. The new Boardio paper bottle for Mentos Pure Fresh is the first product in the gum category from a major global confectioner to be delivered to market in a paperboard bottle. The Boardio package contains 90% paperboard, which makes the package sturdy.
“I and the team at AR Packaging Systems are excited to see our efforts to develop a sustainable and attractive paper container for the circular society are now paying off and being well recognized,” said Jonny Olsson, director for the Systems Division at AR Packaging. “We are delighted to collaborate with companies such as Club Coffee and Perfetti Van Melle, who turn their commitments to environmental responsibility into real long-term strategic actions when choosing packaging solutions.”
The AmeriStar Awards, organized by IoPP (the Institute of Packaging Professionals) in the US, is one of the industry's oldest and most prestigious design competitions.
