Success at Alimentaria & Hostelco: The Future of Sustainable Packaging is Now a Reality

We close an unforgettable edition of Alimentaria & Hostelco, marked by intense activity, reunions with clients and partners, and a clear trend: sustainability is becoming the strategic core of the food and hospitality sector. Throughout these days, we have confirmed that the commitment to sustainable packaging and responsible technical solutions is not just necessary—it is already part of the industry’s present.

PackInGreen, the Leading Feature: Innovation in Sustainable Packaging

The undisputed star of these sessions has been PackInGreen, our range of sustainable packaging designed to offer technical, functional, and environmentally friendly solutions. Presenting live how these packages combine design, performance, and sustainability has been an enriching experience, but the most valuable part was hearing from you. Seeing you touch the materials, ask about real-world applications, and compare alternatives has allowed us to better understand what the market expects from sustainable packaging today.

The conversations held during the fair—your ideas, logistical challenges, and real needs—are the engine driving our innovation. Every comment, every question, and every proposal helps us continue developing sustainable packaging that meets the demands of the food and hospitality sectors. Thanks to this direct exchange, we return with a clearer vision of market priorities and renewed motivation to keep improving.

Ultimately, these days have been a confirmation that we are on the right track, but also a reminder that innovation only makes sense when it stems from a dialogue with those of you who are in contact with the product and the consumer every day.

“We haven’t just presented solutions; we have listened to the future of the sector from those who build it every day.”

Our most sought-after packaging solutions

If one thing defined our participation this year, it was the technical interest and great reception of our PackInGreen sustainable packaging. While our entire range drew curiosity, several products stood out, capturing the majority of inquiries due to their ability to solve current preservation and sustainability challenges:

  • Paper bags for oven and microwave: One of the most talked-about solutions for its ability to meet the ready-to-eat trend. These bags allow for heating or cooking directly in the oven or microwave, maintaining food safety and paper integrity even at high temperatures. Their versatility has sparked significant interest among manufacturers seeking sustainable packaging without sacrificing functionality.

  • High-barrier compostable film reels: These compostable film reels for MAP (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) combine technical protection against oxygen and moisture with a compostable end-of-life, solving one of the greatest challenges in sustainable packaging. Their metallic finish and performance in industrial processes make them a highly valued solution for manufacturers seeking functional and environmentally friendly packaging. This was one of the most inquired-about products during Alimentaria & Hostelco.

  • BioDoypack bags: BioDoypack bags drew great interest among professionals looking for real alternatives to conventional plastic in stand-up formats. Their structure, based on renewable materials, maintains the stability, strength, and functionality required for food applications, offering a sustainable option without compromising performance. A solution that moves in the direction the market demands: practical, safe packaging with lower environmental impact.

  • BioVac vacuum bags: BioVac bags sparked significant interest among sliced meat producers seeking sustainable alternatives without compromising product quality. Based on renewable materials, their structure offers excellent mechanical resistance, reliable sealing, and an adequate barrier for vacuum applications, guaranteeing the preservation, appearance, and safety of the food. A solution that advances towards more responsible packaging while maintaining the performance required by the meat industry.

The rise of paper-based packaging: During the fair, a trend we had already been observing was confirmed: paper is gaining prominence as a key material for sustainable packaging solutions. Brands are looking for packaging that conveys warmth, naturalness, and environmental responsibility, but without giving up the technical features required by the food industry.

That is why developments combining paper with barrier structures, reliable heat-sealing, and compatibility with automated lines are generating enormous interest. The market wants packaging that “looks sustainable” and also complies with the most demanding regulations and the operational performance required by today’s processes.

Sustainability without limits

Alimentaria & Hostelco comes to an end, but for us, the real work begins now. We return with a suitcase full of new opportunities, exciting projects, and conversations that will shape the next steps for our PackInGreen solutions.

Personalized follow-up for every visitor
In the coming days, our team will individually contact all the professionals who visited our stand. We want to build on the conversations started, resolve technical questions, and move forward with the projects that emerged during the fair.

Continuous innovation for more sustainable packaging
Everything we have learned over these days will be integrated into our development process. Our goal is clear: to continue offering sustainable packaging and technical solutions that meet the real needs of the food and hospitality sectors, always driven by innovation and environmental responsibility.

To all our clients, partners, and new contacts: thank you for making this edition one of the most special for COVERPAN. Your trust and enthusiasm are the engine that drives us to keep growing.

See you at the next edition.
