Hill's Single Material Stand-Up Pet Treat Bags
Hill’s new stand-up packaging bag recently launched for its pet snack brand abandons the conventional composite material structure, and uses a single polyethylene as the main material, which greatly improves the recyclability of the packaging while ensuring the barrier properties of the packaging. The core technology used in the new packaging Thrive-Recyclable™in 2020 Flexible Packaging Achievement Awards Won several awards in the competition.
In addition, the new packaging is printed with the How Recycle logo, reminding consumers that the bag can be recycled after washing and drying, and this packaging also meets the requirements of in-store recycling.
Using recycled plastic for pet food packaging
Recycled plastic pet food packaging, through the use of recycled plastics, further reduces the consumption of virgin plastics in product packaging, and at the same time, the performance of new packaging will not change significantly. The move will also help the company meet its goal of reducing the use of virgin plastic by 25% by 2025.
