Mondi is expanding its sustainable packaging portfolio with the launch of re/loop FlowWrap, a recyclable mono-material solution designed for wet wipes applications that combines high performance with 35% post-consumer recycled (PCR) content.

Developed for the home and personal care market, re/loop FlowWrap is a form-fill-and-seal (FFS) packaging solution made from mono-polypropylene (PP), replacing conventional non-recyclable laminate structures often used for baby care, cosmetic and household wipes. The material is designed for compatibility with existing packaging lines, enabling brands and converters to transition without significant equipment modifications.

The launch comes as packaging manufacturers prepare for the European Union’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), which will require 35% recycled content from post-consumer plastic waste in this packaging category by 2030. With 35% PCR content already incorporated into the structure, Mondi positions the solution as a future-ready option for compliance and circularity goals.

According to the company, extensive internal testing and customer trials demonstrated that re/loop FlowWrap delivers performance comparable to virgin-based alternatives, including strong sealing integrity, barrier protection and efficient machinability. Additional trials conducted on IMA Ilapak packaging equipment confirmed reliable runnability at high production speeds.

“With this launch, we show that wet wipes packaging can move towards circularity without sacrificing performance,” said Alessandro D’Agostino, business development manager, home and personal care, at Mondi Consumer Flexibles. “By combining a material designed for recycling with PCR content and excellent machinability, we help customers transition faster towards sustainable packaging solutions while maintaining operational efficiency.”
