How do you turn waste into a winning formula? For us at Constantia Afripack, it is by combining innovation with responsibility—and that approach was recognized with four awards in one night from the Institute of Waste Management South Africa! At 2024 KZN Waste Management Awards Gala Dinner, hosted by the Institute of Waste Management South Africa, we were honored with four prestigious awards: ✨ Gold certificate (4 stars) – Constantia Afripack Mobeni ✨ Gold certificate (3 stars) – Constantia Afripack Pinetown ✨ Innovation award (Trophy) – Mobeni & Pinetown combined ✨ EPR award (Trophy) – Mobeni & Pinetown combined These awards recognize the tangible ways we are managing waste responsibly and innovating for a sustainable future. Competing with names like Toyota, Defy, Richards Bay Minerals, and Netcare, we showcased how sustainability is embedded in what we do at Constantia Flexibles. A special thanks to Amith Harripersadh and Kim Tomlinson, whose efforts were crucial in making this happen. Kim’s work also extends to preparing us for the upcoming national webinar, "Sustainability in Practice: Showcasing the KZN Waste Management Awards Achievers." This is just one step in our journey toward a more sustainable future. Together, we are redefining what’s possible in waste management.

This year proudly marks 75 years of innovation and growth at our Burgos production plant. Founded in 1949 as "La Cellophane Española," the plant has been a pioneer in industrial progress, evolving from producing cellophane paper to becoming a global leader in flexible packaging for the pharmaceutical and food sectors. Today, it produces 260 million square meters of packaging annually—enough to cover 37,000 soccer fields—and specializes in adhesive lamination and metallization processes. Sustainability has always been a key focus. With 7,000 square meters of solar panels, the plant generates 15% of its energy from renewable sources. We are also advancing more eco-friendly packaging innovations like EcoLam and EcoVer, aligned with Europe’s environmental standards. To mark this milestone, Tobepal is welcoming 500 visitors—current employees, their families, and former workers of Cellophane Española—from November 2024 to February 2025 to tour the plant and reconnect with its rich history. As we honor our achievements, we remain dedicated to driving sustainable innovation and delivering value to the industries and communities we serve. Here’s to the next 75 years! #ConstantiaTobepal #75YearsStrong #Sustainability #Innovation #FlexiblePackaging

Training and collaboration with our customer Mondelēz International for sustainable packaging innovation We mutually agreed on accelerating collaboration between both companies, prompted by the suggestion from Mondelez of extending historical and existing partnerships with the exchange of knowledge on chosen topics. The result was an exciting collaboration and training session with Mondelez at their R&D Center in Wroclaw, with remote participation from their Munich team. This first meeting was all about diving into the future of packaging innovation and sustainability. Our team of 14 experts from Constantia Flexibles presented advancements across aluminum production, heat seal coatings, high barrier papers, twist films, and our innovative Ecolutions product range. The day sparked a dynamic exchange of ideas and solutions, setting the groundwork for what is shaping up to be an impactful partnership. Next, we welcomed a second invite to Mondelez’s Bournville R&D Centre in the UK to once again present and discuss our collaborative innovation. Together with Mondelez, we are pushing the boundaries of sustainable packaging—and the best is yet to come. #Sustainability #Innovation #Collaboration #Packaging #Ecolutions
