APP Continued to Deliver Outstanding Sustainable Packaging Solutions Across Latin America

Foopak, the award-winning, innovative sustainable packaging solution from APP Group and its exclusive strategic partner Charta Global, was showcased at Expo Pack 2025, Booth J-1032 at Expo Guadalajara, from June 10–12, 2025.

Crafted from renewable resources and fully recyclable, the advanced paperboard combines sustainability with exceptional performance, offering packaged food sectors a reliable solution for packaging. The plastic-free, compostable and recyclable paperboard provided the circular solutions governments, brands and consumers were seeking. Available in multiple thicknesses, the board was lightweight and maintained a smooth printing surface and forming flexibility needed for high-speed cup and bowl converting.

As sustainability continued to shape the future of packaging worldwide, Expo Pack 2025 stood as a key platform for brands and legislation leading this transformation. It was an opportunity to not just witness the change, but to be part of driving it.

Foopak Bio Natura was accompanied by Foopak Grease-Resistant Paper, a versatile and sustainable solution ideal for bakery bags, food wraps, and more. Expo attendees had the opportunity to explore both materials up close and discover how they supported sustainability goals without compromising functionality.

How Latin American Regulations Were Driving the Shift to Sustainable Packaging

Several countries in Latin America have imposed regulations to encourage sustainability. Mexico, for instance, implemented a waste management system in 2003 and has refined it over time. One of the most recent measures is the ban on single-use plastics, which began in 2020, with each state having its own enforcement mechanisms.

Across Latin America, countries are increasingly adopting regulations to promote sustainable packaging. In Brazil, businesses are mandated to submit recycling plans and comply with specific packaging recycling quotas. Similarly, Chile and Argentina have enacted bans on single-use plastics as part of their commitment to reducing environmental impact.
