Barcelona Packaging Hub drives innovation in sustainable packaging for the pet food sector

Barcelona Packaging Hub is strengthening its position as an international reference in advanced packaging technology with new solutions specifically tailored to the pet food industry. At a time when the global pet food market continues to expand and pet owners demand packaging that is safer, more convenient and more sustainable, the industrial ecosystem of the Hub is emerging as a key player in supporting this evolution.

Among the companies within the Hub, Effytec stands out for its packaging machinery designed for both wet and dry pet food, capable of working with rollstock or pre‑made pouches and reaching speeds of up to 200 pouches per minute. Its solutions suitable for retort applications enable manufacturers to ensure food safety in wet products, one of the most demanding areas of the sector.

Effytec is also accelerating the transition towards more sustainable packaging through equipment that allows the production of recyclable pouches from rollstock, helping brands reduce their environmental impact without compromising product protection or operational efficiency. This commitment to sustainability aligns with the broader strategy of Barcelona Packaging Hub, which promotes collaboration between machinery manufacturers, converters and brands to speed up the adoption of responsible packaging.

In doing so, Barcelona Packaging Hub consolidates its role as an industrial platform capable of delivering advanced technology, reliability and solutions adapted to the evolving needs of the pet food market.
