29 May 2024 --- Mondi has commissioned and completed an LCA for its paper-based Hug&Hold solution to determine its environmental impact compared to that of conventional low-density PE (LDPE) shrink wrap for six 1.5 L PET beverage bottles. Hug&Hold is a fully recyclable solution developed to replace plastic shrink wrap on PET bottle bundle packs. It comprises two elements — a kraft paper sleeve to provide secure and safe transportation and a corrugated carrying handle that firmly holds the bottles around the neck, featuring an integrated handle for convenience and strength. Silvia Hanzelova, sales director for Speciality Kraft Paper at Mondi, says: “Mondi values independent critical reviews and a data-driven route to help customers assess the environmental impact of their products.”
