Several countries and regions have implemented regulations banning the use of plastic caps to reduce plastic pollution and promote sustainability.

What is the solution for spouted pouches for food packaging printing pouch factory or company?

These regulations demonstrate a global commitment to reducing plastic pollution and promoting sustainability. By banning plastic caps and other single-use plastics, these countries are taking proactive steps to protect the environment and reduce the impact of plastic waste on our oceans and ecosystems.

Plastic caps have been a significant source of environmental pollution, contributing to waste and harming wildlife. As awareness of environmental issues grows, so does the search for sustainable alternatives. Here are some of the main alternatives to plastic caps:Aluminum Caps, Rubber Stoppers,Flip-Top Caps, Biodegradable Plastic Caps,Paper Caps

In conclusion, these alternatives to plastic caps play a crucial role in reducing environmental pollution, improving resource utilization efficiency, and promoting sustainable development. However, selecting the appropriate alternative requires comprehensive consideration of product characteristics, cost-effectiveness, and environmental impact.

Supack has developed a sustainable cap in anticipation of new EU Single Use Plastics Directive regulations in 2024, compatible with our pre-made spouted pouches.

There are ideas what we have tested as below pictures :

Not only cap with ring but also attached lid ,they are best solution for tethered cap .

No need to adjustments on filling lines ,You can consider that the attached cap this type solution ,The new caps are technology-proven on existing and new equipment and compliant with existing and future portfolios (equipment and packaging). The tethered cap runs  on all our filling lines just by adding a dedicated Cap Kit (available for new and existing lines),

Tethered cap specifications:

  • The Tethered Cap is available in PP and PE and fits for Hot Fill, Cold Fill and Retort applications
  • can be colored and cost is similar to previous 8.6mm spout cap.
