PACKAGING
Ideal design
Deciding on the right packaging for product is a balancing act.
by Michael Gordon | dairyprocessing@sosland.com
P
ackaging design considerations for dairy products
revolve around maintaining freshness, extending
shelf life, and ensuring safety, sustainability and
convenience. Finding innovative ways to address these
concerns helps ensure dairy products arrive to the consumer
while meeting those standards.
There is an increasing demand for eco-friendly packaging
solutions. The dairy industry is moving toward recyclable,
biodegradable or compostable materials, while also balancing
the need for performance and durability. Reducing packaging
waste through material minimization or more efficient designs
is a key concern for both manufacturers and consumers. Part
of the approach also includes making certain that packaging
may be easily recycled.
CONSUMER CONSIDERATIONS
Today's food processing companies are poised to minimize
plastic as a favored packaging material. In fact, in recent
research from Tetra Pak, the food and beverage industry
supplier discovered that three out of the top five commitments
made by business leaders to address sustainability challenges
include the reduction of plastic usage.
Half of the surveyed businesses pinpointed consumer
demand as the main catalyst behind implementing new
sustainable solutions within the manufacturing and

processing arena. The research found the intention to buy
among almost three out of four respondents (74%) would
increase if a brand talked about environmental topics,
while 42% think that an " environmentally sound package "
justifies a higher price, providing the industry with a
reassuring case for adopting a business model that reduces
environmental impact.
" The food and beverage industry is at a critical moment,
rethinking its way of doing business to help address the
climate emergency, and dealing with the inevitable impact this
has on their operations and solutions, " said Gilles Tisserand,
vice president, climate and biodiversity, Tetra Pak. " They are
looking to suppliers to help them thrive in an increasingly
competitive market, and we remain committed to playing our
part, keeping the innovation engine running to develop new
research, collaborative ecosystems and product offering. "
More manufacturers and their suppliers today are
engaging in sustainable business practices to combat climate
change, and respond to growing pressure from consumers and
regulations from governments.
Recyclable and biodegradable films are becoming more
commonplace, and machines are being built to better handle
these materials.
