Flexo, offset and digital operation Detpack is developing a range of fibre-based packaging alternatives for its clients, as it leads the charge away from plastic packaging.

The Adelaide-based business is innovating in multiple sectors, at AUSPACK it is showing its new fibre-based two-minute noodle cup for San Remo, new fibre-based packaging for fruit and vegetables that is currently being trialled by Woolworths in one of its flagship stores, and is also showing its new RecycleMe fibre-based packaging.

Romano Bolzon, national group sales manager at Detpak said, “We are working closely with customers. Sustainability is top of mind in food packaging, and Detpak is fully focused on developing packaging solutions that meet the sustainability demands of brands and consumers.”

In this AUSPACK video interview, Romano Bolzon speaks with PKN associate editor Wayne Robinson on Detpak's initiatives in sustainability.

CCEP has completed a $39.7m manufacturing upgrade at its Kewdale facility in WA, installing a high-speed can production line that increases capacity by more than 40% and lifts production speeds to 1500 cans per minute.

That choice is now made in a global market for capital, and Australia is struggling to compete. The question is simple. Will the next generation of manufacturing investment come here?
