Rigid PHA Packaging

Value chain: manufacturers focus on rigid PHA packaging

Product protection and safety

Rigid PHApackaging minimises the risk of damage during transport and storage. By protecting products from moisture, oxygen and shocks, this container ensures optimum integrity of the goods. Its sturdiness is a major advantage, particularly for fragile or high-value products that require an effective physical barrier against external forces .

Marketing impact and customer experience

Well-designed rigid PHA packaging enhances the product and strengthens the brand image. Its neat, customisable design captures consumers’ attention and boosts sales. The integration of attractive visual elements, such as specific finishes or textures, makes it possible to stand out from the crowd.

The importance of personalisation in rigid packaging

It’s a major asset for brands looking to stand out from the crowd! Tailor-made design options, high-quality printing and specific finishes help to reinforce visual identity and build customer loyalty. What’s more, the ability to integrate interactive solutions, such as QR codes leading to exclusive content, enriches the user experience and promotes engagement.

Logistical efficiency and profitability

Its robustness facilitates handling and optimises palletisation, reducing supply chain costs and losses. By providing stable stacking and improved impact resistance, rigid packaging contributes to more efficient logistics and better stock management. Needless to say, management costs are minimised…

The environment: an industrial priority

Reducing the carbon footprint

Manufacturers are being forced to adopt more responsible practices. Pressure from governments, institutions and consumers is weighing on the balance! According to the OECD, only 9% of plastics are recycled worldwide. Rigid biodegradable packaging must therefore move towards eco-designed solutions.

Sustainable solutions and environmental regulations

Faced with the new global standards, a number of strategies are required:

• Recycled and recyclable materials: minimising environmental impact
• Eco-design: reducing the quantity of raw materials used
• Consignment and re-use: adopting circular models

Did you know? The European Union has set a target of 55% recycling of plastics by 2030.

Innovating for sustainable rigid packaging

New technologies and materials

• Lighter structures: reduction in the amount of material used
• Biodegradable inks and adhesives: elimination of toxic components
• Biosourced and compostable plastics: an alternative to traditional polymers

Digitalisation and artificial intelligence

• QR code and RFID tracking: proven transparency and traceability
• Warehouse management software (WMS): optimising flow of goods
• AI optimisation: intelligent flow management and waste reduction

Towards a waste-free future: the role of the circular economy

The circular economy is transforming the rigid sustainable packaging industry, with a focus on reducing waste and optimising resources. The adoption of circular models, such as reuse and recycling, is key to meeting growing environmental demands and consumer expectations. By favouring materials with a low ecological impact and encouraging the reuse of containers, manufacturers are playing an active part in the ecological transition and in reducing the carbon footprint.

Reusable packaging: a cost-effective ecological alternative

As part of a drive to reduce waste, reusable rigid PHA packaging is emerging as a viable solution for manufacturers. By opting for containers designed for multiple use cycles, companies can reduce their dependence on virgin resources while controlling their supply costs.

Many sectors, such as the food and cosmetics industries, are now incorporating re-use solutions that save on the production of new packaging while improving their carbon footprint. This circular model is perfectly in line with new regulatory and societal expectations.
