In the competitive world of food packaging, the challenge is often balancing industrial efficiency with environmental responsibility and consumer convenience. For Apis, a leader in Spanish pâté, the solution arrived in the form of a pioneering technology: Ecopeel™.
By adopting this patented new can technology, Apis has successfully transformed its product line to meet the demands of the modern, eco-conscious shopper without sacrificing performance.
A greener footprint: 20% CO2 reduction
Sustainability is no longer a “nice-to-have”; it is a business imperative. One of the most significant outcomes of Apis’s transition to Ecopeel™ is a 20% reduction in CO2 emissions versus a regular 3-piece can with the same capacity. This reduction represents a major step forward in creating a more “environmentally respectful” supply chain.
Elevating the consumer experience
While the environmental benefits are clear, the Ecopeel™ design also prioritises the end-user. The new packaging offers a "more practical and convenient" experience through several key features:
- Easy opening - The heat-sealed design allows for a smooth, effortless opening experience.
- Safety first - With smooth edges and no internal borders, the risk of cuts is eliminated, providing full access to the can
- Zero waste - The "full demolding" capability ensures that every gram of product is used cleanly, preventing food waste and making the process more efficient for the consumer
The technology: best of both worlds
What makes Ecopeel™ a breakthrough for manufacturers like Apis is its ability to combine the consumer-facing benefits of a two-piece heat-sealed can with the high-speed production capabilities of a 3-piece can. This means brands can innovate their packaging and improve their carbon footprint without compromising on filling speed or industrial efficiency.
