I'm green

As the global movement towards a circular, zero-waste economy grows, the demand for more sustainable, responsible products throughout the supply chain is rising in parallel. Our company stays committed to enhancing the contribution of flexible packaging for that purpose, while assisting our customers in realizing their goals for eco-friendly packaging for their products. The BIO-based packaging solutions that we have designed, deliver both functionality and effectiveness, with the lowest possible environmental footprint at the same time.

The 3^rd edition of our successful seminar series “Hatzopoulos Packaging & Converting School” was scheduled to open its doors this week in Thessaloniki. The event was planned to take place on 4&5 June with specific focus on Sustainability and in celebration of the World Environment Day, a day which highlights our dependence on nature and our planet’s health.

It is no secret that COVID-19 has brought a huge shift in our way of life. From the way we work, live and behave to the way we approach ongoing global issues, changes have occurred. One of these ongoing issues that we have started to treat differently is the impact of plastic and the role it plays in our lives. Specifically, press and consumers both, are beginning to reevaluate their perspective on the importance of “single use plastics”.

The long-anticipated Interpack 2020 was initially planned to open its doors this week, before it had to be inevitably postponed for 2021. We have decided not to let covid-19 stop us and, with the help of SYNTEGON, we bring our complete recyclable range "X-CYCLE" live to your screen!

The Institute for Energy and Environmental Research (ifeu) recently extended its study on the positive environmental consequences of flexible packaging compared to rigid packaging formats. The study which was commissioned by Flexible Packaging Europe (FPE), shows beyond doubt that the use of flexible packaging results in greater resource efficiency as well as reduced carbon footprint. Specifically, the complete substitution in the EU of non-flexible packaging with flexible packaging for Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG), excluding the sector of beverages, would not only significantly reduce the overall packaging waste but also decrease by 33% the Global Warming Potential.

Hatzopoulos S.A. is welcoming the new year with one more precious international industry award to add to its growing collection. The “X-CYCLE” recyclable packaging range we presented at the annual WPO competition has received the Worldstar Packaging Award 2020 in the Packaging Materials category!

A leading industry show will mark the beginning of a year rich in exciting packaging events! On the 26^th and 27^th of February we will return to Birmingham, to participate in the UK’s most renowned event for the packaging industry which takes place at the NEC: “Packaging Innovations”. Come to explore the awarded X-CYCLE recyclable range and to discuss with our team about our high-performance, innovative packaging inspired by Sustainability. Increased environmental concern pushes us further, to develop and present new packaging solutions that will define the future. Discover them at our Stand #D35!

A. Hatzopoulos S.A. is thrilled to announce that we have officially moved our company Head Office to a brand-new building in Kalohori, Thessaloniki!
