Mondi launches recyclable re/loop FlowWrap packaging for wet wipes
The solution is compatible with digital, flexo, and rotogravure printing processes, offering brands and converters greater flexibility while supporting sustainability goals.
UK – Mondi, a global leader in sustainable packaging and paper, has introduced re/loop FlowWrap for wet wipes packaging, enabling customers in the home and personal care industry to shift toward more sustainable polymer-based packaging.
re/loop FlowWrap is a form-fill-and-seal (FFS) solution made from mono-polypropylene (PP) that replaces non-recyclable laminates for applications requiring customizable barrier protection, including baby care, cosmetics, and household wipes.
The material is compatible with polypropylene (PP) mechanical recycling in accordance with CEFLEX D4ACE guidelines and contains 35% post-consumer recycled (PCR) content.
Extensive internal testing and customer trials demonstrated performance comparable to virgin-based alternatives, delivering reliable sealing, effective barrier protection, and smooth machinability for wet wipes applications while remaining compatible with existing packaging lines, enabling a straightforward switch to re/loop FlowWrap.
From January 1, 2030, the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) sets a target of 35% recycled content from post-consumer plastic waste for this category of plastic packaging.
Mondi’s innovative solution is well-positioned to support future compliance with this target while helping brands and converters meet sustainability requirements without sacrificing product protection or line efficiency.
Alessandro D’Agostino, Business Development Manager for Home and Personal Care at Mondi Consumer Flexibles, stated that with this launch, Mondi demonstrates that wet wipes packaging can move towards circularity without sacrificing performance, combining a material designed for recycling with PCR content and excellent machinability to help customers transition faster towards sustainable packaging solutions while maintaining operational efficiency.
External trials on ILAPACK equipment confirmed strong runnability at very high line speeds for wet wipes packaging, and industry professionals had an early opportunity to see the new material at the INDEX fair from May 19 to 22 this year, where Mondi and IMA Ilapak showcased re/loop FlowWrap operating live on packaging machinery.
These trials highlight Mondi’s focus on material innovation and collaboration with machine partners and customers.
For years, the company has helped customers advance their sustainability goals by integrating post-consumer recycled content into packaging solutions as market needs and regulations evolve.
