Recycle Ready Sachet Range Improves Convenience and Consistency

Sachets for convenience foods – as either premium standalone products or part of a meal kit – are one of the last hurdles when it comes to improving recyclability across the food and beverage market. While convenience food which use sachets are often pitched as a ‘quick’ option, with the benefits of portion control and consistent product results, consumers still want to recycle their packaging.

We believe convenience shouldn’t come at the expense of sustainability. Time-pressed consumers still want to make eco-friendly choices, and integrating recyclable materials can enhance their experience. Sachets exemplify this balance – offering user-friendly features like easy-tear designs and precise portioning, which elevate product consistency and satisfaction while reducing waste. These features can work across the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, pet, beauty and wellness markets.

Making recycling obvious and improving end consumer experience is one of our goals here at KM Packaging, which is why we’re pleased to be offering a range of sachet solutions for our customers.

Matt Gilks, Business Development Manager – UK and Eire, comments on the new product offering from KM Packaging:

“Sachet formats can be transformative for some products, and if we’re also able to make them recyclable it’s a win for everyone. They offer a great way for convenience foods to offer finish-at-home value-adds or standalone premium convenience meals – and give consumers a consistent experience. A lot of sachets are, by their application, multiple layers of multiple materials – which means there are challenges for kerbside recycling. However, we can develop solutions which provide mono material and paper options which could be recycled kerbside (where available) or through return to store schemes. Sachets are one of the last pieces of the recycling puzzle, and we ought to change that.”

In the health, wellness, and nutrition sectors, recyclable packaging is a top priority. Brands that combine product benefits with eco-conscious packaging gain a competitive edge by aligning with consumer preferences for clear, sustainable solutions.

At KM Packaging, we offer:

• High-barrier sachets for aggressive ingredients.
• High-speed filling compatibility for efficiency.
• Recyclable material options to reduce environmental impact.
