08 Oct 2021 --- UFlex is joining forces with flexible packaging manufacturer Mespack and custom injection molding innovator Hoffer Plastics to develop easily recyclable polypropylene (PP)-based hot-fill pouches with material-reducing spout caps. “There is huge potential in hot fill pouches,” a UFlex spokesperson tells PackagingInsights. “The global retort pouch market has reached US$1.5 billion as of 2020 and continues to grow at a CAGR of 8.1% between 2021-2026. To address this great potential, we see opportunities in creating more closure options – other than spouts – to reduce plastic waste.”
