At Interpack 2023, the company showcased its recyclable woven bags for global customers and highlighted its woven block bottom bags with a matte finish as a potential replacement for paper bags, considering the global paper shortage.
“There is shortage of paper in the global market and we are trying to offer woven block bottom bags to replace paper bags. With a matt finish, the woven bags give the look of paper. We have made 100% recyclable woven bags which we displayed at the show,” said Alpesh Patel, director, Knack Packaging.
The company recently launched the Knack Flexipack brand, catering to the demand for small flexible packaging solutions.
“Most of our customers are into bulk packaging. However, some of these customers require small flexible packaging solutions as well. To cater to that demand, we launched Knack Flexipack. We make pouches, laminates, rolls, etc. We set up a new infrastructure for Knack Flexipack,” Patel said.
Plastic packaging waste is a big talking point in India as well as the world. The popular impression is that plastic is responsible for the mess that we see on the streets and in the water bodies. Patel, however, says the problem lies with plastic waste management and not with plastic itself.
“We have to make sure we do not demonize plastic. Plastic is a miracle product, which has made our lives much easier. But we need to properly manage plastic waste. All stakeholders in the plastic packaging industry and the authorities need to come together and spread awareness about the proper disposal and management of plastic waste,” he said.
The impact, resilience, and growth of responsible packaging in a wide region are daily chronicled by Packaging South Asia.
A multi-channel B2B publication and digital platform such as Packaging South Asia is always aware of the prospect of new beginnings and renewal. Its 16-year-old print monthly, based in New Delhi, India has demonstrated its commitment to progress and growth. The Indian and Asian packaging industries have shown resilience in the face of ongoing challenges over the past three years.
As we present our publishing plan for 2023, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2023 will reach 6.3%. Packaging industry growth has exceeded GDP growth even when allowing for inflation in the past three years.
The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 33% over the past three years. With orders in place, we expect another 33% capacity addition from 2023 to 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels have grown similarly. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.
Even given the disruptions of supply chains, raw material prices, and the challenge of responsible and sustainable packaging, packaging in all its creative forms and purposes has significant headroom to grow in India and Asia. Our context and coverage engulf the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and further – to waste collection and recycling. We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers.
