Debra John — March 14, 2025
Swiss Pack has set a new standard for sustainable packaging with the 'FORMIL Refillable Spout Pouch,' created in collaboration with Algramo for Lidl. This innovative design provides a practical solution to reduce plastic waste by allowing consumers to refill their laundry detergent in-store, offering both an eco-friendly alternative and cost savings through bulk purchasing incentives. Consequently, this initiative aligns with Lidl’s commitment to sustainability and the promotion of a circular economy.
Notably, the FORMIL pouch was featured at the 2025 Innovation Gallery, which recognizes advancements in packaging that address sustainability and performance challenges. Paul Jenkins noted that Swiss Pack’s achievement reflects their dedication to developing packaging solutions that meet industry needs and environmental objectives.
Moreover, the development of the pouch involved design optimization for compatibility with refill stations. Sales Manager Sucharita Sil highlighted that "through close collaboration and rigorous testing, Swiss Pack successfully created a user-friendly, sustainable solution."
