The design utilises ProAmpac’s chemical- and UV-resistant printing and laminating technology to ensure product integrity.
Developed in partnership with ScottsMiracle-Gro, the spouted pouch enables consumers to refill their existing dispensing system, eliminating the need to purchase a new one.
This shift from rigid containers to flexible pouches reduces plastic usage by 90%, significantly lowers overall weight, and optimises the product for e-commerce distribution.
ProAmpac product development manager Isha Labhasetwar said: “Our goal was to create a packaging solution that meets sustainability targets without compromising performance.

The pouch is said to deliver the same volume of pest control solution with a reduced environmental impact.
ScottsMiracle-Gro senior packaging engineer Keith Miller said: “The new Ortho Home Defense Max packaging represents a major step forward in sustainability and consumer convenience.
“By introducing a spouted pouch, we’ve significantly reduced our plastic packaging footprint while ensuring that our customers continue to receive the high-performance pest control solutions they trust.”
