By GlobalDataCustomers who choose to employ different pack formats depending on production quantities can use the EnviroClip packaging together with KeelClip, a paper fastener developed by Graphic Packaging for beverage cans.
The launch is part of Graphic Packaging’s wider efforts to promote a more circular economy.
Graphic Packaging global innovation and new business SVP Ricardo de Genova said: “EnviroClip enables beverage companies to significantly increase sustainability by replacing plastic packaging for can multipacks with a recyclable and renewable solution.
“Its launch complements our KeelClip beverage can multipack solution and means we are now able to meet customer requirements across a full spectrum of different sized operations.”
EnviroClip is designed for both 12oz and 16oz standard cans in four and six-pack configurations.
It features finger holes to make multipacks easier to carry and provides space for companies to print high-impact brand and sustainability messages.
Graphic Packaging global beverage and multipacks business development director Steve Gould said: “Since its introduction, KeelClip has gained international recognition for its sustainability performance and the important role it is continuing to play in reducing plastic usage and hard-to-recycle plastic waste.
“EnviroClip builds on the same expertise and innovation, providing an expanded portfolio that makes it possible to meet our customers’ different needs.”
Last month, Graphic Packaging registered $7.15bn in full-year net sales for the fiscal year 2021 (FY21), up by 9% from $6.56bn in 2020.
