What Is Retort Pouch Packaging?

Are retort pouches sustainable?

The sustainability of your packaging should be a key consideration, as the benefits of choosing a more environmentally friendly option go beyond reducing your footprint. Consumers are consciously making purchasing decisions based on how sustainable a product is, which is everything from product development to how it&#;s packaged. Retort pouches have many qualities that make them a more sustainable option than other packaging options, and we specialise in helping businesses make the right choices as they develop their pouch packaging. Some of the benefits of opting for retort pouches are:
&#;

  1. They require less heat during the sterilisation process due to the shape and flexibility of the packaging material.
  2. The time needed to package goods is more efficient, reducing the resources required during assembly.
  3. The flexible materials used in retort pouches mean they take up less space in storage, and there is less wasted space in warehouses.
  4. Transporting retort pouches at all stages of its lifecycle is cheaper due to how lightweight the packaging materials are.
  5. Retort pouch materials are capable of being widely recycled across the world, and as the packaging is a single unit, it&#;s easy for consumers to properly dispose of.
  6. There are many global initiatives focused on improving the sustainability of all pouch packaging, meaning future development will improve retort pouches even further.

Is a retort pouch the right choice for you?

Retort pouches are exclusively used for consumable products that require heating, cooking or sterilisation within their packaging. Some examples of the types of products packaged in this way include instant meals, soups, rice, sauces, pet foods, etc. Retort pouches offer many advantages for products that need to be prepared in this way, and there are various materials available that are each suited to different types of consumable products. If you&#;re considering pouch packaging but do not need to heat, cook or sterilise the goods in this way, then a retort pouch may not be the best choice. We offer many other pouch variations that may be more suitable for you, which you can find more information on by visiting our pouch types page.
