LAUNCHES

At Interpack, we are proud to announce the relaunch of the sustainable ice cream container, incorporating new attributes that distinguish the packaging, optimize its functionality, and reinforce its value proposition as a sustainable alternative to traditional expanded polystyrene containers. The cardboard ice cream container features an internal barrier suitable for ice cream, which resists moisture and the migration of fats inherent to the product, ensuring a safe and pleasant consumption experience, 100% free of plastic laminates. Additionally, our facility holds FSSC22000 certification, which certifies it to manufacture packaging suitable for direct contact with food. In this relaunch, the container incorporates a microcorrugated structure that reinforces its rigidity and enhances its thermal performance. In this way, better ice cream preservation is achieved without sacrificing its recyclable and biodegradable character in less than 18 months. The possibility of customization through full-color printing is also added, which expands brand communication opportunities, strengthening the connection with the consumer. Thus, the packaging goes beyond its operational function to become a branding tool, aligned with values of innovation and environmental commitment. From a functional standpoint, the design of the cardboard ice cream container was optimized to offer better space utilization in freezers and to include the lid as an integral part of the packaging, which facilitates storage and optimizes operations in ice cream shops. Likewise, its rectangular shape allows for better separation of flavors, which enhances not only the product presentation but also the consumption experience. These additions represent an evolution in a container that already stood out in the market for its sustainability and for offering a more responsible alternative to one of the most relevant environmental issues associated with ice cream consumption: the use of single-use containers that take hundreds of years to degrade. “At R, we work to ensure that each development responds to a specific market need. In this case, the challenge was to optimize the ice cream consumption experience through sustainable packaging, understanding the real conditions of delivery and take away,” they note from the department. “Each design decision was oriented toward reducing environmental impact without compromising operability for ice cream shops, so it is not just about replacing materials, but about developing products that function as well as or better than traditional alternatives.” Based on this approach, the cardboard ice cream container is positioned as a comprehensive solution that combines functionality, branding, and environmental commitment. While the packaging printing captures customer attention and generates brand recall, the structural design optimizes storage space and improves product preservation, providing logistical efficiency and a pleasant user experience for both the business and the end consumer. The sustainable ice cream container, while customizable, has its generic version that is marketed through the BIOHZ product line, which was created with the objective of manufacturing sustainable packaging that functions as an alternative to single-use plastic disposables. Thus, in a context like Argentina, where per capita ice cream consumption is high, the adoption of recyclable and biodegradable packaging represents a concrete opportunity to reduce waste generation and promote more responsible consumption models. This improvement and redesign of the packaging responds to a continuous innovation process: it is not just about launching new products, but about evolving existing solutions, incorporating learnings from real use and new material technologies, always under a sustainable perspective. “We believe that innovation in packaging must go hand in hand with a long-term vision. Each new development is an opportunity to rethink materials, processes, and uses. That is the path we continue to build at Interpack and Grupo HZ,” they conclude from the RD department.

Biohz, Interpack’s innovative and sustainable packaging line, presents its new product catalog specially developed for bakeries, pastry shops, and food service businesses. Focusing on functionality, storage optimization, and mass availability, these products meet the real needs of the market, providing packaging that combines design, practicality, and sustainability. Sustainable Innovation In recent years, increased environmental awareness has led to a shift in consumption habits. Biohz emerges as a response to this change, aiming to supply the delivery and take-away market with sustainable packaging. This sector gained significant relevance after the pandemic, driven by the growth of food service businesses. Currently, Biohz’s product range is expanding into the pastry and bakery market, opening the way for new challenges. This new product line was designed to simplify daily operations at the point of sale: they are easy to assemble, stackable, functional, and designed to optimize storage space. Furthermore, they are made from 100% recycled, recyclable, and biodegradable cardboard without plastic laminates. Biohz packaging is developed to be functional while highlighting the product and caring for the environment, combining branding, practicality, and environmental commitment. Thus, Biohz’s differentiator is not only its ability to improve the consumer experience but also its positive environmental impact, adding value to those who choose them. Reliability and Support On Sustainable Gastronomy Day, and after several successful product launches, we celebrate Biohz’s third year in the sustainable packaging market. Every June 18th, Sustainable Gastronomy Day is celebrated worldwide. The objective is to raise awareness about new eating habits that contribute to the well-being of the global population and the protection and preservation of resources from the earth. This was the date, three years ago, when the Biohz spoon was launched, the first spoon on the market made of cardboard, being biodegradable and recyclable. Today, the Biohz product range is constantly evolving. “In these years, we have had several successful and innovative launches in the food industry market,” confirms Pablo Garcia, Regional Business Development Manager, and continues: “In addition to the spoon and ice cream cups, we have developed lines of packaging for prepared meals, containers, and sushi packaging, without plastic laminates.” Biohz offers products such as salad bowls, spoons, bakery trays, mini dippers, among many others, providing a sustainable alternative to the use of disposable plastics.
