At interpack 2026 in Dusseldorf, Greiner Packaging will present concrete answers to the growing demands of the circular economy under the claim “Driving the Circular rEVOLUTION.” In a market environment characterized by regulatory uncertainty, the company demonstrates how it implements circularity throughout the entire packaging lifecycle, supporting futureproof packaging solutions that comply with the requirements of the PPWR.

Clarity in a Complex Market

Upcoming regulatory requirements are creating challenges for many companies. This is precisely where Greiner Packaging steps in, offering guidance: circularity is defined in design, implemented in production, and realized through recycling. The goal is to develop packaging solutions that are not only sustainable, but also functional and economically viable.

With this approach, the company positions itself as a partner for brands aiming to futureproof their packaging and ensure alignment with the PPWR.

Solutions That Work in Everyday Life

The focus of the trade fair presentation is on practical applications that show how circularity can be implemented in real-world settings:

At the forefront is the already established solution for self-separating packaging, K3^® r100. At interpack, Greiner Packaging will showcase the expansion of this portfolio, demonstrating how the concept can be successfully applied to additional formats. During the recycling process, the cardboard wrap automatically detaches from the plastic cup, allowing both materials to be correctly sorted without any action required from consumers.

Also presented is CUBO, which was awarded a WorldStar Award for good reason. This square cup improves logistics efficiency and CO₂ performance by enabling more efficient use of transport and storage space.

Another trade fair highlight is the Click In sealing lid: it replaces traditional systems of snap-on lids plus aluminum membranes with a single component that combines product protection, resealability, and recyclability. Designed as a mono-material solution, the Click In sealing lid supports efficient recycling processes without compromising functionality or convenience.

Solutions for specific markets will also be highlighted, particularly in the area of health packaging. Greiner Packaging will present innovative packaging solutions for the health sector, where the highest standards for functionality, safety, and material performance apply. The developments on display illustrate how sustainable packaging concepts can also be successfully implemented in highly regulated and sensitive applications.

Circularity: Scalable and Achievable

reiner Packaging follows a holistic approach: circularity arises from the interplay of design, materials, technologies, and effective recycling systems. At interpack 2026, the company brings this approach to life with solutions that not only convince in theory but also succeed in the market.

The core message: circular packaging is no longer a vision, it is reality and ready for broad application. At interpack, Greiner Packaging will provide insights into its forward-looking packaging solutions and the company’s latest developments.
