Four sustainable packaging success stories

With the world of packaging becoming more eco-friendly, leaders need to get sustainable packaging right — and fast.

Abstract

Consumers and regulators are pressuring industrials leaders to pivot and transform fast their packaging solutions. To differentiate their value propositions in a market of 'perceived commodity', packaging suppliers must drive innovation based on consumer insights and make their entire operation more efficient.

Discover down below four success stories within our customers portfolio, who are sharing how they use our solutions to improve their products’ packaging, maximizing product performance while minimizing both carbon footprint and costs.

PepsiCo

Challenges: Looking for sustainable packaging solutions while ensuring that these solutions are resistant to damage during shipping and on the shelf.

Solution: Using the SIMULIA  Abaqus solution and the Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE platform, PepsiCo can test packaging using the Virtual First Principle to evaluate products before conducting physical trials.

Testimonial: “If you ask me how I could access the simulation results from three years ago, it’s going to take me a long time to dig through my own hardware to find it, but if we can store all the simulation data in a single place, that can reduce the time. It increases traceability.”
Dr. Ellie Vineyard, Associate Principal Engineer
