Zotefoams plc (LONZTF) ReZorce® Circular Packaging has achieved a major milestone by securing the Gold Award for Sustainability at the 2024 German Packaging Prize competition awarded by the Deutsche Verpackungsinstitut. This award highlights the breakthrough nature of ReZorce, a fully recyclable mono-material packaging solution. Engineered for industries such as food and beverages, it uses up to 100% recycled content while integrating into existing recycling streams, offering an eco-friendly alternative to conventional composite liquid cartons.
The award underscores the product’s significant environmental impact, particularly in reducing energy consumption, water use, and greenhouse gas emissions. ReZorce has been rigorously tested for functionality, including its barrier properties against oxygen, water vapour, and other gases, which are key for preserving products like milk, juices, and personal care items. It is especially relevant as brands and manufacturers face increasing pressure to comply with Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations, which hold companies responsible for the end-of-life management of their packaging.
