01 Jul 2022 --- Mondi is partnering with Japanese consumer goods manufacturer Kao to create a recyclable, lightweight packaging solution for its Goldwell hair lightening products. The packaging leader has supplied flexible, re-closable stand-up pouches made of recyclable monomaterial for the powdered products. The new stand-up pouch reduces plastic usage without compromising strength and durability and supports Kao and its salon business in its efforts to reduce environmental footprint.“The solution we developed with Kao contains a chemical-based product that is particularly sensitive, so we needed to consider safety and quality at all times. The new packs are secure during shipment when filled and easy to transport,” says Iris Ross, regional sales consumer flexibles at Mondi.
