Printpack and KIND Partner to Launch Curbside Recyclable Paper Bar Wrapper

ATLANTA - Rezul -- Printpack, a manufacturer of flexible and specialty rigid packaging, in partnership with KIND Snacks, announced the successful launch of a curbside recyclable paper wrapper for snack bars. This collaborative innovation marks a significant milestone in sustainable packaging and demonstrates the power of strategic partnerships in driving environmental change.

The How2Recycle pre-qualified wrapper, developed by Printpack's technical team in close collaboration with KIND, will debut on KIND's best-selling Dark Chocolate Nuts & Sea Salt bars at select Whole Foods Market locations. The paper wrapper will be available at select Whole Foods Market stores across Northeast, Southern California, and Texas regions from May 1st through October 1st, 2025. This retail pilot represents a significant step forward in addressing the challenge of packaging waste, particularly considering that a significant amount of plastic food and beverage containers currently end up in landfills.
