DUBLIN (News release) -- With increased pressures on companies to use recyclable packaging, Smurfit Kappa Composites have devised a solution under their Better Planet Packaging initiative - the Smurfit Kappa Eco-Tube.

This tube evolution enables the traditional composite tube to now be 100% recyclable through readily available consumer recycling schemes.

Not only does it retain the recognisable look and feel of the traditional tube but now adds an extra level of sustainability, without having an impact on strength, and still able to perform as a premium packaging solution creating shelf-disruption.

"We love our tubes at Smurfit Kappa Composites; the eye-catching designs, shelf presence, the premium & quality feel and robust protection - what's not to love?" said Peter Thorpe, Sales Manager at Smurfit Kappa Composites

"But with all these fantastic attributes we recognised the need to make our tubes more easily recyclable for the consumer. We saw the world changing, consumers starting to change buying behaviours to favour sustainable packaging, so we set ourselves a stretching target under our Better Planet Packaging initiative to make a 100% recyclable tube without compromising all the original great features. And after much hard work the Smurfit Kappa Eco-Tube was created!" continued Peter.
