It is specifically designed for household cleaning brand ‘Homethings’ and its range of cleaning tablets.
Homethings co-founder Michael Aubrey said: “Parkside’s willingness to work with us enabled us to push the boundaries of our packaging and create a customised laminate structure that is perfect for our cleaning product.
“The high moisture and oxygen barriers enable us to deliver a great product, while staying true to our sustainability values.”
Parkside leveraged bio-based paper and metallised NatureFlex cellulose films for Homethings. Renewable flexible packaging films provider Futamura manufactures the films produced sustainably sourced wood pulp.
