📦 Walki’s production plant in Murcia, Spain, strengthens its logistics capabilities. Walki Plasbel - Sustainable Packaging Solutions is centralising its logistics operations in a 22,600 m² hub in Murcia, bringing together activities previously managed across two locations.

The new facility provides a more modern, spacious and efficient infrastructure, designed to optimise day-to-day operations while increasing storage and distribution capacity.

Strategically located alongside the newly opened Arco Noroeste expressway, the hub offers direct access to the main transport corridors connecting northern and southern Spain. This location will help streamline logistics flows and support efficient distribution to domestic and international markets.

The new logistics hub represents another step in strengthening the operational capabilities of Walki Plasbel, supporting its growing activity and enabling an even more efficient service for customers.

This autumn, Walki and Bioska waste bags, together with the Pink Ribbon campaign, invite everyone on a journey from Hurt to Hope.

This marks our first collaboration with the Pink Ribbon campaign. For every Bioska Pink Ribbon product sold, 10% of the product price will be donated to Syöpäsäätiö, the Cancer Foundation Finland to support Finnish cancer research. In this way, an ordinary everyday product can help achieve something extraordinary.

Pink Ribbon is the Cancer Foundation’s best-known fundraising campaign and Finland’s largest cancer fundraising initiative. The campaign has been organised in Finland since 2003.
The funds raised support Finnish cancer research as well as people living with cancer and their loved ones. Research aims to prevent cancer, improve early detection, and develop more effective treatments.

This year’s Pink Ribbon and bracelet have been designed by Lauri Haav, who invites us to join a shared journey from hurt to hope. It serves as a reminder that even in difficult moments, there is room for hope, dreams, and a brighter future.

How can packaging deliver reliable grease and moisture protection without compromising its fibre-based end of life?
At Walki, water-based dispersion coating enables us to apply a thin functional layer to paper, creating high-performance barrier packaging with high fibre content and a design suited to paper recycling streams.

With this technology, we achieve:
✅ Medium to high barrier performance against grease, moisture and water vapour.
✅ High-fibre structures, typically with more than 90% fibre content, designed for repulpability in conventional paper recycling streams.
✅ Reliable heat sealing and high-speed converting, with excellent printability and shelf appeal.
✅ Natural polymer dispersion coatings available, derived from food-industry side-stream proteins, offering a microplastic-free and biodegradable alternative.
✅ PPWR-oriented solutions, designed with recyclability requirements and existing recycling infrastructure in mind.
✅ Lower EPR costs through fibre-rich structures designed to support favourable recyclability classifications, depending on the applicable national EPR scheme.

The technology can be used across applications from tea envelopes and frozen foods to confectionery, snack pouches, secondary packaging and household products. The principle is simple: use the minimum functional layer needed to deliver the required performance; while maximising fibre content and recyclability. To make this possible, Walki has developed a next-generation production line entirely in-house, designed to advance sustainable barrier materials.

From technology to material innovation, we are for a .

🌍 Celebrating the 1st ! 📦

On 6 September, we celebrate the inaugural World Packaging Day, launched by the World Packaging Organisation to recognise the essential role packaging plays in our everyday lives and global supply chains.

Packaging is much more than a layer around a product. It has to protect, perform and deliver.
✅ Functionality - protecting products, preserving quality and ensuring safety.
✅ Efficiency - enabling efficient production, filling, transport and handling while helping reduce waste.
✅ Circularity - using resources more efficiently and developing solutions designed for a more circular economy.

With accelerating the transformation of the packaging industry, bringing these three dimensions together has never been more important.

At Walki, we are transforming materials for a circular future - developing packaging solutions that combine performance, efficiency and sustainability.

Happy World Packaging Day!
