“We are pleased to be showing both standard and bespoke solutions at drinktec,” said CEO Benoit Henckes, “As well as unveiling an exciting collaboration between United Caps and Mimica, a breakthrough solution positioned to change the way brands, retailers and consumers think about and determine food freshness, reducing food waste which has a significant impact on greenhouse gas emissions. After visiting our stand at the show, we guarantee you will leave with new ideas about how the right caps and closures can dramatically change performance, sustainability and safety for food and beverage products.”

A key highlight on the United Caps Drinktec stand will be its co-development with Mimica of the breakthrough Mimica Touchcap. This unique, innovative closure is a breakthrough in dynamic freshness food labels, creating accessible, affordable freshness indicators for all types of beverages. The goal is to reduce food waste and increase consumer loyalty. 

United Caps will be showcasing its portfolio of Born Ready tethered closures for a wide range of applications and neck sizes. These innovative closures feature next-level tether engineering that enhances the drinking experience and super-intuitive designs to maximise compliance with the EU Single-Use Plastics Directive while minimising disruption to the production line. Versions of these closures manufactured with conventional materials will be shown, along with versions of the same closures made from ISCC+ certified materials that perform with the exact same characteristics as traditional closures, giving brands the ultimate flexibility.

United Caps will also be unveiling the brand-new 2022 update to its sustainability report detailing progress towards Net Zero.

“Whether it’s an ‘off the shelf’ development like our UCTC range or a bespoke development like the Pure-TwistFlip closure developed with Elopak, or a joint venture like the Mimica Cap, more and more brands are working with United Caps to reach their own sustainability ambitions,” Henckes added.
