Flexible Packaging Solutions for the Circular Economy
USA/Canada/Neighbors/Universal
About
The call for contributions to the elimination of single-use plastic products and water conservation is behind this USA/South African researched repurposable flexible packaging solution.
Market research, both locally and abroad, enables us to share this upstream packaging redesign and application idea with global brand owners, retailers and others seeking green solutions in the fight against global warming, plastic pollution, and water shortages.
OUR SOLUTIONReducing Plastic Usage/Conserving Water
A stand-up pouch which, after first-use as packaging, can be repurposed as a tank/cistern water saver per Attachment 1.
The pouch is considered universal in its repurposable application.
Plastic is consequently kept out of landfills and value is added to the plastic.
The carbon footprint for plastics is accordingly reduced.
An EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) friendly solution.
The pouch design is registered on the Walmart Circular Connector program for suppliers.
The pouch is 185mm x 290mm and suitable, but not limited to, certain food, home/personal care in the 1,5L size.
Being the packaging, consumers receive the added social benefit of an effective no-cost water saver.
The functional position in the toilet tank is per Attachment 2 - water is saved by displacement. Fill the pouch with water and place in the said functional position.
The pouch will reduce the dominant regulated 1.6gal tank to the desired 1.28gal size.
The USA market is sizeable at an estimated 70% of all households/buildings, the future market to include all replacement tanks and ongoing new tank installations.
Store drop-off (Attachment 3) is a suggestion for excess used pouches, this for distribution to local Municipalities for distribution to households and businesses.
