one.five and Jung optimise confectionery packaging

With one.five’s paper based barrier packaging, Jung is now using a solution that is fully recyclable in the wastepaper stream, delivers the necessary performance in the filling process, and generates up to 30% fewer emissions than comparable conventional OPP or plastic composite films. 

Jung is adopting Bluemorph, a recyclable, paper based packaging developed by one.five. This is made from FSC certified paper that is fully recyclable in the wastepaper stream. 

Confectionery packaging often consists of petroleum based plastics or paper-plastic composites that are only partially recyclable. Jung therefore sought an alternative that could be integrated into existing filling processes while meeting requirements for durability, tear resistance, and efficient processing. As none of the available options fully met these criteria, the company had previously relied on a non recyclable 50/50 composite of paper and plastic.

‘Sustainability, social fairness, and responsible use of resources are integral parts of our corporate philosophy. This includes designing packaging to be as recyclable or compostable as possible. At the same time, we place great value on quality and efficiency and regularly evaluate our products. With one.five’s paper based solution, we can now use a packaging material for the first time that is fully recyclable, meets our requirements for reliable processing, long shelf life, and high product protection, and supports our efforts to enhance circularity,’ said Peter Neff, managing director of Jung. 

one.five’s paper based packaging solution can replace a substantial portion of the previously used plastic based materials and therefore significantly contributes to reducing plastic content. At the same time, it helps companies like Jung prepare early for the requirements of the upcoming EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), for example with regard to recyclability and material savings. 

‘Our paper based packaging solutions can be integrated into existing production processes without major adjustments. This allows companies to switch to alternative packaging within a short period of time. Our collaboration with Jung demonstrates how technological development and innovation can come together with the practical needs of the filling process. The solution meets functional requirements, reduces the use of non recyclable plastics, and supports a gradual transition toward greater circularity in confectionery packaging,’ said Martin Weber, founder and managing director of one.five. 

By switching to one.five’s paper based solution, both companies demonstrate how environmental responsibility and innovation can go hand in hand. The project shows that sustainable materials, regulatory compliance, and economic efficiency can be successfully combined.
