SIRANE’S award-winning plastic-free packaging ‘Earthpouch’ will be a major focus when we exhibit at Packaging Innovations Madrid for the first time in November.
Now available in standard, barrier and high barrier, our Earthpouch is ideal for anyone looking to remove unnecessary plastics from their packaging.
But we’ll also be focusing on our whole Earth Packaging range – including paper-based absorbent pads, as well as our more traditional product lines such as ovenable/microwaveable cooking solutions and absorbent pads.
Perfect for a range of dry and moist products – including granolas, porridge oats, grains, health/diet supplements and more – the Earthpouch is a paper-based solution with a heat-sealable coating, which is preformed into a stand-up pouch.
Simon Balderson, Sirane MD, said: “Earthpouch is a plastic-free solution, a paper-based material with a plastic-free coating which is perfect for a range of products. We can supply it with a range of different barriers, to suit your needs.
“We can also supply the same plastic-free material in reel format for anyone looking to flow-wrap – this would be our Earthfilm – and also as Earthbags.
“If you’re serious about moving away from plastics, then this – and many of the other products in our Earth Packaging range – might be exactly what you’re looking for.
“We’ve already had significant interest from Spain, so we’re anticipating a good show. Packaging Innovations Madrid is one of the biggest in the Easyfairs calendar, and the Sirane will be able to offer genuine innovation to visitors.”
Earlier in 2019 Thierry Soto joined the sales team at Sirane, with Spain falling under his remit – Thierry is a fluent Spanish speaker – and Thierry will be joined at Packaging Innovations Madrid by MD Simon Balderson at the show
2018 was a big year for the Earthpouch with some major industry recognition– it won a Green Apple Award, presented at the Houses of Parliament, and it also secured first place at the UK Packaging Awards in the Resource Efficient Pack of the Year category. The Earthpouch was also recognised at the Sustainable Food Awards in Amsterdam, where it finished third in the sustainable packaging category.
This year we earned official ‘Plastic-Free’ accreditation from A Plastic Planet, allowing customers to apply to use their trust-mark, and we’ve also received official endorsement from the UK Recycling Association following trials.
Simon Balderson, Sirane MD, said: “The Earthpouch is a fabulous product, and we were honoured to receive industry recognition and pick-up two top awards.
“Sirane’s constantly innovating, and the environment is at the forefront of a lot of our thinking. Plastics – and perhaps more specifically removing plastics where possible – is the hot-topic, and it’s great that Sirane is able to offer this product.”
One of the questions we’re often asked is ‘how do I fill the pouch?’ We’ve also recently added a pouch-filling line to our offering, the M7, which is compatible with the Earthpouch – and there will be information available on our stand.
The Earthpouch is just one of a range of compostable/recyclable products and packaging solutions Sirane has developed over the years – and it has been placed in our Earth Packaging range: compostable; recyclable and sustainable.
Other products in the Earth Packaging range include paper-based absorbent pads, compostable & breathable packaging films, and compostable boards.
