SIG has partnered with Australian wine producers to develop a recycle-ready bag-in-box for wine.
The bag is made of SIG Terra RecShield, a mono-material film with a polymer structure which replaces the conventional multi-layer film that contains aluminium. This means that every component of the bag-in-box, including the bag, tap and carton, is now recycle-ready.
This development supports the Australian 2025 National Packaging Targets and meets the Sustainable Packaging Guidelines of the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO).
The wine tap is made from light-grey polymers that allow it to be easily detected by optical sorters at Australian recycling facilities, improving plastic separation and supporting higher-quality recycled output.
When assessed through APCO’s Packaging Recyclability Evaluation Portal (PREP), the complete pack receives a ‘Check Locally’ classification from the Australian Recycling Label, guiding consumers to kerbside recycling where facilities exist or alternative drop-off points, such as supermarkets or council collection centres.
The integrity and performance of the bag-in-box wine packaging has been validated through extensive shelf-life tests and transport trials with SIG’s development partners, the company says.
