New product highlights at PATS UK 2025 include:
- MonoFlexBE with metallic inner layer: A new development in recyclable high-barrier monomaterials, combining enhanced product protection with a premium metallic finish for improved shelf impact and brand differentiation, all without compromising recyclability.
- MonoFlexLiteE: Designed for quadroseal premade bags (1.5 - 4kg), this lightweight, fully recyclable PE film offers a premium glossy appearance and optional front zip for added convenience. Delivering the same high performance with 35% lower CO₂ emissions than standard structures, MonoFlexLiteE is the ideal solution for brands looking to reduce their environmental footprint without compromising on quality or shelf appeal.
- PFAS-free solutions: As part of its commitment to safer, more sustainable packaging, Coveris already offers PFAS-free premade bag solutions for the pet food market. While Coveris continues to expand PFAS-free options across its full portfolio, this marks a significant step forward in supporting upcoming regulations and responding to the growing demand for cleaner, more sustainable packaging.
“As regulatory pressure increases and consumers demand more sustainable choices, brands need packaging that does more than merely comply - it must perform, protect and communicate,” says Vincent Larson, Key Account Manager Pet Food UK. “At Coveris, we’re helping pet food brands prepare for the future now. All our solutions are developed with recyclability, barrier performance, and PFAS-free compliance in mind, while also meeting the evolving operational demands of today’s filling lines and supply chains. In the UK, the share of our MonoFlexE monomaterial solutions has grown from 30% in 2021 to 66% in 2024. This strong momentum is only the beginning, with several exciting projects currently underway to further accelerate the shift towards recyclable, high-performance packaging.”
