Amcor has officially partnered with Ginstberg to supply a specialized 28mm two-part tamper-evident closure designed specifically for glass bottles. This Amcor glass closures solution features a patented lightweight structure that prioritizes product security while remaining user-friendly for the end consumer. The technology is engineered to accommodate both still and sparkling beverages, maintaining the integrity of liquids with carbonation levels reaching up to 4.3 volume. To support environmental traceability, the product is available with ISCC+ certification, allowing for the tracking of recycled content throughout the supply chain. Ginstberg, which is recognized as a natural mineral water brand, utilizes these components to ensure its premium standards are met.
Ginstberg COO Evi Van De Velde commented on the selection, stating: “Consumer experience of our brand begins with the packaging, so it is essential that the closure is durable and reliable and easy to open and reclose, as well as offering the reassurance of tamper evidence. The Amcor closure has both the necessary technical and aesthetic attributes.” This specific lightweight cap is a component of a broader portfolio that includes the 28mm PolyVent and 28mm PolyGuard models. These designs are intended for use within reusable bottle systems, directly supporting circularity and ensuring compliance with the latest European packaging regulations.
Uli Kolbert, Amcor Global Rigid Packaging Solutions beverage closures & home care triggers product line manager, noted the importance of the initial consumer touchpoint: “The closure is the consumer’s first interaction with the packaging and therefore has a very important role to play in delivering consumer acceptance and brand loyalty. Our refillable ready range is designed to meet the needs of both glass and PET [polyethylene terephthalate] bottles, ensuring brands can adapt to evolving regulation across Europe.” Beyond this partnership, Amcor is also advancing its research through a collaboration with UK start-up Kelpi. This initiative focuses on a seaweed-based coating platform to explore sustainable alternatives. The Amcor glass closures integration remains a central part of the company’s strategy to provide high-performance solutions that maintain compliance and foster circularity in the packaging sector. The ongoing evaluation of the seaweed-based material by research teams highlights the firm’s commitment to innovation and traceability in material science.
