Mondi and Saga Nutrition launch sustainable pet food packaging

Mondi has partnered with Saga Nutrition, a French pet food manufacturer, to create recyclable packaging for Saga’s dry pet food range. This innovative design replaces non-recyclable multi-material plastic with mono-material — ensuring pet food freshness while supporting a circular economy.

The new packaging has been launched in October 2024. As part of Mondi's re/cycle portfolio, re/cycle FlexiBag is designed to meet the company’s internal Path to Circularity Scorecard criteria, as well as Ceflex recycling guidelines. It offers high-barrier properties, protecting products from moisture, fat, and odor in sizes ranging from 3 kg and up. Saga Nutrition’s adoption of mono-material packaging also showcases its dedication to minimizing waste and enhancing visual appeal.

'As consumer demand for sustainable packaging grows, we are excited to work with Saga Nutrition to deliver packaging that truly supports a circular economy when it comes to pet food,' said Olivier Werbrouck, regional sales of consumer flexibles, France, Mondi.

The packaging also features secure sealing for easy storage and handling, ensuring convenience for pet owners. Its durability also provides reliable protection during shipping and handling, making it a practical and long-lasting option.

'This collaboration with Mondi is a key milestone in our sustainability journey,' said Jérôme de Solliers, CEO at Saga Nutrition. 'By transitioning to recyclable mono-material packaging, we’re contributing to a circular economy while maintaining the high quality our customers trust.'
