PA Consulting and PulPac team up with LOGOPLASTE to propel sustainable packaging forward in the Bottle Collective
By PulPac AB
GeneralPA Consulting (PA), the company bringing ingenuity to life, and PulPac, the Swedish packaging-solutions company behind Dry Molded Fiber, are pleased to announce that LOGOPLASTE, the global provider of innovative and sustainable rigid packaging solutions, has joined the Bottle Collective as the technology partner. The Bottle Collective brings together major brands across industries and leading packaging manufacturers to accelerate progress towards truly sustainable single-use bottles. LOGOPLASTE joins leading global companies Diageo, Haleon, and Sanofi as a member of the Bottle Collective.
The Bottle Collective is working to produce bottles that have a lower environmental-impact usage than typical single-use versions, but are cost-competitive and scalable for mass volume production. The Collective leverages Dry Molded Fiber technology that utilizes renewable pulp and cellulose resources to create affordable and high-performance fibre-based bottles that can be recycled as paper packaging. As experts in injection molding and blowing, LOGOPLASTE will be taking an active development role in the Bottle Collective to improve the overall barrier performance of the bottle-lining technology and make it adjusted to the specific needs and requirements of the consortium.
Joining the Bottle Collective is a natural fit for LOGOPLASTE, given its mission to transform the environmental impact of packaging. Stretching back to its unique business model of the wall-to-wall embedded manufacturing, LOGOPLASTE has leveraged its expertise in materials, design, and process efficiencies to ensure rigid packaging solutions deliver both environmental and economic benefits. LOGOPLASTE will bring that same expertise to the Bottle Collective, partnering with PA, PulPac, and other brand members to accelerate the commercial roll-out and industrialization of the Dry Molded Fiber Bottle technology.
Jamie Stone, Partner at PA Consulting and PA’s PulPac Design and Innovation Lead at PA Consulting, said: “We are thrilled to announce this partnership with LOGOPLASTE. Together with our global brand partners, we can fast-track the development of the world’s first Dry Molded Fiber bottle. We’ve already created the technology and the process. Partnering with established leaders in the rigid packaging space like LOGOPLASTE reinforces to the market that our Dry Molded Fiber bottles are capable of being produced at the speed, volume, and cost necessary to match the massive scale of this global industry challenge.”
Sanna Fager, Chief Commercial Officer at PulPac, said: “Collaboration has been core to PulPac’s mission and growth since day one. We’re excited to welcome LOGOPLASTE into the expanding ecosystem of innovative packaging companies who are accelerating the adoption of Dry Molded Fiber.”
Paulo Correia, Chief Technology Officer at LOGOPLASTE, said: “By joining the Bottle Collective we remain totally aligned with the DNA of LOGOPLASTE, that is looking to solutions under a fully agnostic approach and offering a broad view of solutions that respond to the specific sustainability needs of each one of our partners. This confirms the strong sustainability commitments of the company. We are delighted to join!”
