Coca-Cola European Partners delivers a first in Europe through the introduction of CanCollar® technology

Coca-Cola European Partners has today announced the introduction of CanCollar®, an innovative paperboard packaging solution, for multi pack cans in Spain. 

  • The move supports its work, in partnership with Coca-Cola, to remove all unnecessary or hard to recycle plastic from its portfolio, avoiding the use of more than 11,000 tonnes of virgin plastic a year across Western Europe. 
  • Innovative packaging design is a core principle of Coca-Cola’s World Without Waste strategy and through collaboration with WestRock, a global company that provides its customers with sustainable differentiated packaging solutions, Coca-Cola European Partners will start to use the CanCollar® paperboard can ring technology in the Balearic Islands, replacing the current Hi-cone solution and saving more than 18 tonnes of plastic annually. 
  • Coca-Cola European Partners has invested 2.6 million euros in its Barcelona plant to support this initiative. The installation of WestRock’s CanCollar® Fortuna™ manufacturing equipment will enable multipack cans to be grouped in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way, with a process that does not require the use of glue or adhesives.

Polymers in Packaging: Polypropylene(PP)

Polypropylene(PP) is the lowest density commodity thermoplastic polymer which is both tough and durable. Polypropylene has a very slippery surface and good resistance to fatigue, thus an ideal material for most plastic living hinges, as in flip-top bottles caps (Tic Tacs) and sanitizers.
