Boxon, a specialist in intelligent packaging solutions, is launching a new generation of rPET Big Bags made from recycled PET bottles, the first recycled Big Bag approved for direct food contact. The solution will be introduced across the EMEA market starting in week 12.
The new Big Bag represents an important step forward in circular industrial packaging. By combining recycled materials with high-performance characteristics and food-contact approval, the solution enables companies to reduce environmental impact while maintaining the strict safety and operational standards required in regulated supply chains.
Across industries, companies are facing growing demands to reduce environmental impact, comply with tightening regulations and maintain reliable supply chain operations. Regulations such as the EU’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) and ambitious corporate sustainability targets are accelerating the transition toward circular materials.
The new Boxon rPET Big Bags address these challenges by combining recycled content with industrial durability and reliability. Made from recycled PET bottles, the bags provide a significantly lower carbon footprint while also improving performance in demanding bulk-handling environments.
“Companies today need packaging solutions that support both compliance and operational efficiency,” says Florence Abgrall, Business Unit Manager at Boxon. “Our rPET Big Bags make it possible to transition to recycled materials without compromising durability, handling performance or supply reliability, while also meeting strict food-contact requirements.”
The rPET Big Bags are designed for food, chemical and other demanding industrial applications. The material offers several operational advantages compared with traditional solutions, including improved UV resistance, higher abrasion resistance and better form stability during transport and handling.
In addition, the bags provide sharper print quality, enabling clearer markings, improved traceability and better control in regulated supply chains.
With the introduction of rPET Big Bags, Boxon continues to support customers in transitioning toward circular packaging solutions that meet regulatory requirements while improving performance and efficiency across the supply chain.
