This new sustainable packaging solution is produced without any plastic or tape and offers brands extensive advertising opportunities.

Two years on the market surely must mean that this new way of bunding six-packs is viable and should be considered the better option to the current plastic solutions.

LatCub was the first container of its kind available on the market and is a clear example of the future of packaging.

“From the beginning to the end of the packaging production process, at Alzamora Group we take the environmental impact into account. Starting with the raw material, cardboard, which is one of the most noble, recyclable and biodegradable materials,” said General Manager Anna Alzamora.

“The company’s policy is based on optimising all processes, with the aim of minimising the carbon footprint, being as ecologically efficient as possible.”

Several companies in the global beverage industry have already taken notice of this product, including the well-known beer brand Estrella Damm, which started using the PEFC-certified LatCub solution as an alternative to the 6-can plastic bundler.

More and more companies are looking for substitutes for plastic, a material that has been polluting our oceans and harming the lives of fish and marine animals for many years.
