2019 Food and Beverage Packaging Trends Offer Opportunities for Retailers

According to the 2018 EcoFocus Trend Study conducted by EcoFocus Worldwide, grocery shoppers in 2018 have greater expectations of packaging than ever before – especially when it relates to healthy food and beverages. Brands in the healthy food and beverage category who have embraced CLEAN LABEL and CLEAN PROCESSING now have the opportunity to add CLEAN PACKAGING as a way to further differentiate their products on the grocery shelves.

More shoppers are choosing stores based on their offerings of healthy and environmentally friendly selections. Packaging is a factor in these decisions. 67% of grocery shoppers say “retailers should choose what products they put on their shelves based on how environmentally friendly the packaging is.”

Specifically, the trends study shows that all forms of food and beverage packaging, including store brands, will be challenged to:
1.Work Harder to Protect Taste, Freshness and Nutrients
2.Work Harder to Align with Ingredients
3.Work Harder to Be Responsible
4.Work Harder to Share Values

Aptar Submits Application for Emergency Use Authorization to the German Regulatory Agency BfArM for ActivShield™ FFP2 Decontamination System

AptarGroup, Inc. is seeking Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the German Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM) for a solution that allows for easy disinfecting of FFP2 ltering facepiece respirators (FFP2 masks). The FFP2 masks are desperately needed by healthcare personnel due to the global shortage of disposable masks during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this simple disinfecting process, the FFP2 mask and a small strip of Aptar’s ActivShield™ technology are placed inside any commonly available one-gallon plastic bag. The strip releases a controlled amount of chlorine dioxide inside the sealed bag to decontaminate the FFP2 mask. The process takes only two hours until the mask is ready to wear again. It can be performed on-site at the local hospital where the mask is being used. The EUA submission in Germany is part of Aptar’s strategy to expand global access to FFP2 respirators allowing for the decontamination and reuse of masks for ten cycles. This innovative patent pending technology can eciently and eectively disinfect FFP2 masks used by healthcare workers and first responders.
