Consequently, as the demand for sustainable packaging continues to grow across the globe, businesses now seek new and novel solutions that would balance convenience and durability with environmental responsibility. Retort pouches, specifically spout pouches, are in nature light and flexible and a common sight in the food and beverage industry. Yet, traditional retort bags’ blend of materials, like PP (polypropylene) layered with aluminum, presents recycling challenges due to their complex separation process.
DQ PACKにて, the new definition of eco-friendly packaging is single-material retort spout pouches. Our recyclable retort pouches will be designed to be sustainable while maintaining high-barrier protection and superior heat resistance, simplifying the recycling process. If you are looking for a sustainable packaging solution without compromising on performance, then DQ PACK has got you covered.
What Is A Retort Pouch?
The retort pouch is a heat-resistant, flexible packaging product developed for sterilized food, pet food, and pharmaceuticals. It preserves the product at high temperatures of 121-135°C with a long shelf life of 12-24 months under ambient temperature without refrigeration.
Traditional conventional retort pouches use multilayer structures such as PP, aluminum, and PET to provide very good barrier protection against moisture, oxygen, and light. It is lightweight, space-saving, convenient, and usually comes fitted with resealable zippers or spouts for ease of use.
Why Sustainability Matters in Retort Packaging?
Today, companies are under increasing pressure to reduce their environmental footprint. Consumers actively seek out eco-friendly packaging, and governments worldwide are tightening recycling regulations. Retort pouches are a staple in the food packaging industry, but their traditional multi-layer structure complicates recycling.
Challenges of Traditional Retort Pouches:
- Difficult to recycle – Multi-layer materials require advanced separation technology.
- Higher carbon footprint – The production process consumes more energy.
- Limited circular economy contribution – Traditional pouches are often discarded in landfills.
