Sustainability-driven growth strategy

Leveraging the vast opportunities found in Americas

  • ▹ Americas total fresh liquid carton market is massive: ~ 1.6 EURb1)

Choosing cartons over plastic bottles

Robinsons is a household name in the UK with over 200 years of history, evoking a sense of nostalgia for many Brits.

Owned by Britvic since 1995, the brand has launched a new fruit concentrate drink in 500ml Pure-Pak® cartons.

"Making Robinsons available in this new format allows consumers to feel confident in the knowledge that the pack they've chosen has more serves, but used less packaging per serve, and can be recycled once finished."

Liquid egg pioneer Campomayor teamed up with Spanish food scientists to develop the world's first dairy alternative made from egg whites.

"Elopak's Pure-Pak® Sense aseptic cartons are the best way to present our new drink to the consumer. It transmits a differential image at the point of sale, with many possibilities in design, enhancing the differentiation and modernity of the WOVO brand.
