Ensuring safety and compliance in packaging, while promoting recycling and shaping industry standards.

Product Safety and Regulatory Compliance

As a global leader in consumer and pharmaceutical flexible packaging, we are setting the standards for safe and effective flexible packaging for food and pharma applications. We are committed to ensuring compliance with all relevant regulatory standards and continuously strive to improve our processes and procedures to maintain our position as a pioneer in responsible product development.

We take compliance seriously and do the utmost regarding safe raw materials, compliant formulations, good manufacturing practices, and adequate customer information, thus enabling safe and compliant packaging.

Working together with Experts

As a responsible and forward-thinking company, we strive to make positive contributions to the industry and society. Constantia Flexibles is proud of sharing our expert knowledge by actively participating in the efforts of various national and international associations as well as participating in promising and future-oriented research projects to assure product safety or in projects that will deliver input for shaping future legislation.

Our team of professionals in regulatory affairs and recycling is also actively working with external partners to promote a circular economy by meeting recycling targets while keeping high standards for safety and compliance with our offered packaging solutions.

In addition to being a permanent member, the VP of the R&D Competence Center Aluminum is currently chairing the Flexible Packaging Europe Scientific and Regulatory Affairs (SaRA) Committee.

Phase out of critical Substances

In 2020 the European Commission adopted its Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability. The strategy is part of the EU's zero pollution ambition – a key commitment of the European Green Deal – and aims to protect citizens better and the environment from harmful chemicals and boost innovation by promoting safer and more sustainable chemicals.

Going beyond current legal requirements, Constantia Flexibles is committed to proactively identifying and phasing out toxic or critical substances as intentionally added ingredients in our products and to ensuring that all raw materials used are safe and sustainable. Developing and manufacturing safer alternatives is a crucial element in achieving this goal.
