Smartpack in VAS Magazine: Innovating in packaging materials PROMOTING A NEW GENERATION OF PACKAGING The packaging industry is constantly evolving, but this time

At Smartpack we are a team and above all things we are a family.

Thanks to our coordinated work, the effort and perseverance of all our employees, we have managed to build one of the most recognized companies in packaging solutions.

At Smartpack we have good manufacturing practices and quality assurance systems for all our processes.

We are certified under the BRCGS standard, which sets the benchmark for best manufacturing practices, helping to ensure that products and services are of high quality, legal and safe.

We provide an optimal level of hygiene and safety for consumers, under global food safety standards,
packaging, storage and distribution materials, as well as consumer products.

As a team we are very happy to have participated in the process and we hope to work in the same way to continue improving ourselves within the industry.

Walmart declared worldwide the need to achieve specific sustainability goals and defines the year 2025 as the deadline for all the packaging of its products and its own brand to be completely sustainable or recyclable.

Therefore, all Walmart suppliers must meet its quality standards and be aligned with its commitments, which are listed and updated in the guidelines of the ‘Packaging Style Guide’.

Thanks to these intentions and the efforts of Smartpack Chile, Walmart joined in a
sustainable cooperation with the Niederwieser Group. Together the three companies developed the appropriate solution: Next Flex, a new line of sustainable, certified and recyclable MPO films, based on a high-barrier PP/EVOH/PE structure.

On our trip to the south of Chile, we had the opportunity to visit the Frigosorno plant, part of our clients in the meat sector.

On the WeWork rooftop, we spoke with Paula Aguirre Delaveau, who is in charge of strategy and product development, about the characteristics of the halopack tray, how it contributes to the environment, and how it has become an innovation in the world of packaging.

Smartpack visited the world’s largest fair for the meat industry IFFA 2019, which was attended by the best professionals and companies related to the industry’s processing and packaging equipment sector. At Smartpack, we are constantly researching trends and innovations at a global level to transmit these experiences to our clients and thus improve their production process.

“This is a solid innovation that has emerged from the eco-design of packaging, a concept based on a constant search for new technologies in the food industry, in order to generate new solutions that favor insertion into the circular economy”
