The U-Pack^® ffs received the Pack The Future Award in the category "Design for Consumer Benefit/Convenience". The U-Pack^® ffs is a combination of the well-known standard ffs film and the U-Pack^®. It combines the advantages of a form, fill and seal solution with user-friendly elements such as a carrying handle or reclosure. The product has a recyclability of up to 98% and can be produced for non-food applications with up to 45% PCR content. Only colours and adhesive are deducted in the recyclability rating.

The U-Pack^® recyclable gusseted bag has won the prestigious WorldStar Packaging Award 2023 in the category "Packaging Materials and Components". The packaging is up to 98 percent recyclable according to CHI standards and can be manufactured with up to 45 percent PCR content. This results in a potential recyclate yield of 100 percent for the packaging, making it fully integrable into the circular economy.

Another Pack The Future Award in the category "Design for product protection", was given to the innovative surface protection film TacFlex^® 900 series. TacFlex® 900 is adhesive-free and achieves adhesion values that were previously only possible with adhesive-coated films. A special formulation in the adhesive layer thus significantly expands the range of applications for adhesive-free films and enables our customers to switch to a fully recyclable, resource-saving and climate-friendly solution with high adhesive strength - optionally also available with 30 % recycled content.
