Michelman’s close collaboration with market leaders BOBST and UPM Specialty Papers, resulting in the groundbreaking oneBARRIER solutions, continues to make waves across the packaging industry. The oneBARRIER FibreCycle project has been recognized for its contribution toward more sustainable packaging via two prestigious awards.
The Sustainability Awards is a global competition highlighting sustainable packaging innovation in response to environmental challenges. It encourages a comprehensive approach, setting best practices, focusing on key R&D areas, and distinguishing meaningful innovations from greenwashing. The initiative, free to enter, welcomes participants across the packaging value chain, from start-ups to global brands and universities. As its criteria continue to evolve, the initiative emphasizes holistic impacts, transparency, and the prevention of unintended consequences. Organized by Packaging Europe, a leading publication to the packaging industry, the competition features independent judging by a diverse international jury, ensuring credibility and impartiality.
Our oneBARRIER FibreCycle solution won in the Pre-Commercialized Recyclable Packaging category. This end-to-end solution will help combat the plastic waste crisis by offering a high-quality packaging solution that addresses sustainability concerns. Thierry Van Migem, Michelman’s Sales Director, EMEA, comments that “Michelman will continue pushing boundaries via strong value chain collaborations with expert partners such as BOBST and UPM Specialty Papers.”
