Cheer Pack North America Collaborates with Stonyfield and Amcor to Launch the First All-PE Mono-Material Recycle-Ready Spouted Pouch called CHEERCircle™ with the new Vizi™ Cap.
West Bridgewater, MA, February 20, 2024 – Cheer Pack North America (CPNA), the leading manufacturer of spouted pouch packaging, collaborating with Amcor, the leading flexible film manufacturer, proudly announces a groundbreaking innovation in sustainable packaging for Stonyfield® Organic, the country's leading organic yogurt makers. This exciting development called CHEERCircle™ All-PE recycle-ready spouted pouch as part of the CPNA Sustainability+ offering, marks a significant step towards a more eco-friendly packaging future.
Stonyfield® Organic is renowned for its commitment to producing high-quality organic yogurt. To further their commitment to environmental responsibility, they have collaborated with CPNA to introduce a revolutionary packaging pouch for YoBaby®, the #1 Pediatrician-recommended yogurt for babies 6 months to 2 years among refrigerated yogurts.* The new pouch design replaces the prior multi-laminate structure with a mono-material PE recycle-ready laminate called AmPrima PE Plus made by Amcor. This new packaging not only is designed for future recycling but also aligns with Stonyfield® Organic’s sustainability goal to light-weight their packaging by 2030.
Additionally, the YoBaby CHEERCircle™ PE mono-material spouted pouch includes the new Vizi™ cap, the innovative CHEER PACK® cap that delivers improved visibility of tamper-evidency, sustainability and grip. Compared to caps used in many other yogurt or similar spouted pouch applications, for every 10 million pouches sold with the Vizi™ cap, Stonyfield® Organic will remove a staggering 5.3 tons of plastic waste from landfills. This highlights the tremendous impact that an improved sustainable package design can play towards environmental preservation.
Al Madonna, Vice President of Marketing for CPNA states, “We’re thrilled to collaborate with Stonyfield®Organic on our CHEERCircle™ all-PE recycle-ready spouted pouch and Vizi™ cap, a pioneering step in sustainable spouted pouch and cap packaging that exemplifies our shared commitment to a greener world.”
Sophie Schmitt, Director of Marketing for Stonyfield® agrees, “Stonyfield has been an environmental pioneer since the day we were founded as an organic farming school in 1983. Over the last four decades we’ve been leaders in sustainability and we take our commitments seriously. We’re thrilled to collaborate with Cheerpak NA on a sustainable pouch solution to help achieve our long-term packaging goals and make steps toward protecting the planet for generations to come.”
Cheer Pack North America, with its commitment to packaging safety, convenience, and functionality, is proud to team up with Stonyfield® Organic and Amcor to market this revolutionary packaging design. This innovation for YoBaby® stands as a testament to the collaborative effort of each company to provide a greener, healthier world for children and future generations.
