Recyclable Pouch with PCR for Method’s Dishwasher Pods

Manufacturer: Amcor Flexibles, amcor.com

Description: This package incorporates two key sustainability attributes that positively impact the overall life cycle when compared to a standard PET/PE lamination. The innovative design is both in-store drop-off polyethylene (PE) recyclable and contains post-consumer recycled (PCR) PE content at over 20%. When compared to the non-recyclable PET/PE product, this new package has a 57% reduction in carbon footprint, uses up to 47% less water, and utilizes 70% less energy. This solution is an eco-friendly alternative to the traditional packaging format and meets Method’s sustainability goals and growing demand from consumers who desire recyclability, without compromising on visual appeal or print quality. Method incorporated a graphics refresh that includes a detailed illustration of the Method dishwasher pods product, demonstrating that high quality graphics and recyclability aren’t mutually exclusive.
