Article Abstract:

Plastic bags represent around 25% of the packaging used in the milk sector worldwide. Plastic bags are gaining market shares on the African, American, and Asian markets, it is used but little in Europe, excluding Eastern European countries, because of its shortcomings in terms of practicality; The bag is gaining market shares in Germany, up 5% per year, while it already dominates half of the market in Switzerland. Plastic bags need to improve in practicality. Pr pac has developed a stand-up bag which in the future may get a re-sealing system. Elopack has developed Elopouch, a pillow bag developed in collaboration with Bosch. Elopak intends to put forward the economic advantages (it is less expensive than brick cartons) and the environmental advantages (10 grams of packaging per litre of milk) of its Elopouch in order to gain acceptance in the lowest-priced milk products in Europe, particularly in Germany.
