Pawsome packaging

Mondi has partnered with Saga Nutrition, a French pet food manufacturer, to create recyclable packaging for Saga’s dry pet food range. This innovative design replaces non recyclable multi-material plastic with monomaterial – ensuring pet food freshness while supporting a circular economy.

The collaboration highlights the two companies shared commitment to sustainability and the transition to a circular economy. The new packaging has been launched in October 2024. As part of Mondi`s re/cycle portfolio, re/cycle FlexiBag is designed to meet the companies’ internal Path to Circularity Scorecard criteria as well as Ceflex recycling guidelines. It offers high barrier properties, protecting products from moisture, fat and odour in sizes from 3 kg and up. Saga Nutrition’s adoption of monomaterial packaging also showcases its dedication to minimising waste and enhancing visual appeal.

‘As consumer demand for sustainable solutions grows, we are excited to work with Saga Nutrition to deliver packaging that truly supports a circular economy when it comes to pet food,’ said Olivier Werbrouck, regional sales consumer flexibles France, Mondi.

The packaging also features secure sealing for easy storage and handling, ensuring convenience for pet owners. Its durability also provides reliable protection during shipping and handling, making it practical and long lasting.

‘This collaboration with Mondi is a key milestone in our sustainability journey,’ said Jérôme de Solliers, CEO at Saga Nutrition. ‘By transitioning to recyclable monomaterial packaging, we are contributing to a circular economy while maintaining the high quality our customers trust.’
