Sonoco to showcase sustainable packaging Solutions at NatExpo 2025

A variety of fully recyclable and innovative solutions will be displayed at the leading international trade show for organic products

Montanay, France – Sonoco is pleased to announce its upcoming presence at NatExpo 2025 (Paris, 30 November – 2 December 2025, stand D21, Hall 1), where it will engage with industry professionals and present its latest sustainable packaging solutions for the natural and organic food markets.

This year’s key objective is to highlight Sonoco’s capabilities in serving the natural and organic food sectors with its most recent innovations. Sonoco will have the opportunity to focus entirely on its sustainable portfolio – including GREENCAN®, the Sonoco Paper Container, and a range of closure options, including paper lids; metal lids; cork lids; the multi-purpose membrane solution; a range of compostable pill dispensers and powder sprinklers, EnviroStick®, and Sonoco’s newly developed mono-material based Sprinkler top.

GREENCAN® is made from 92–98% paper, offering a wide range of barrier properties and available in multiple shapes and sizes. It can be tailored to suit brand aesthetics while supporting sustainability goals. The Sonoco’s Paper Container with metal lid is part of this approach, combining a paper-based construction with a durable, separable and protective metal lid to meet both functional and environmental requirements. The cardboard can with metal lid is designed to be recycled separately, as the metal lid is easily removable, making it easier to recycle the container.

The new mono-material based Sprinkler top, providing a polystyrene-free closure option, offers an alternative to traditional plastic components, reducing environmental impact without compromising ease of use.

EnviroStick®, for the beauty and cosmetics sector, is designed to meet brand goals for recyclable packaging. Made from recyclable fibre, this three-piece tube offers key “push up” functionality and flexibility in label design. A range of pill dispensers, available in a home-compostable version, offers brands a sustainable option for tops and sprinklers.

Philippe Creux, Sales Director, South West Europe, Sonoco Consumer Products Europe, comments: “NatExpo 2025 is an excellent opportunity for us to demonstrate how our packaging innovations are designed not only to protect products and enhance shelf appeal but also to support our customers’ sustainability objectives. This year, we can dedicate our space entirely to Sonoco’s sustainable range and demonstrate how our packaging delivers on functionality, aesthetics, and environmental performance. The introduction of the mono-material based Sprinkler and our paper container with a metal lid reflects our ongoing investment in responsible packaging that meets evolving consumer expectations.”
