Dispensing solutions company, Aptar Food + Beverage, has partnered with MIWA Technologies to offer sustainable solutions for the distribution of goods.
Czech Republic-based MIWA has developed a reusable and refillable bulk dispenser that allows consumers to avoid the use of single-use packaging when shopping.
MIWA provides brands with smart-powered, reusable capsules which they can fill with their products before the capsules are inserted into modular shelves with electronic dispensers at retail stores.
Consumers are then able to use their own reusable containers, or system-connected cups, to receive the product, and when the capsule is empty, it is collected by MIWA and cleaned before being returned to brands to be refilled.
The MIWA app can be used by consumers to order and pay for their goods as well as to access product information typically found on packaging, such as ingredients and nutritional information.
“The partnership between Aptar and MIWA will allow the companies to develop a broad range of solutions using the principle of re-use for packaging and materials,” said Petr Báča, founder and CEO of MIWA.
“Packaging plays a key role in the systemic change towards more sustainable product delivery and consumption, and we look forward to leading the industry with our solutions.”
