06 Sep 2019 --- In packaging news this week, butter brand Lurpak launched its first block packaging innovation since 1957. Known as “Butterbox,” the new design is a convenient reclosable box that addresses the consumer barriers and frustrations with Block Butter in foil. Meanwhile, Mondi’s “SizeMeMailer” was honored with a ScanStar 2019 award, with the jury highlighting the positive environmental credentials that this slimline pack can offer e-retailers. In a busy week for BillerudKorsnäs, the fiber-based packaging supplier acquired a minority holding in the recycling company Recycl3R and completed the sale of its majority stake in Bergvik Skog Öst forest land to pension company AMF for a capital gain of approximately SEK 5.6 billion (US$890 million).
