For the very first time, UNITED CAPS will be taking part in ProPak Indonesia 2025, happening from 19 to 22 November at JIEXPO Kemayoran, Jakarta. As one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of caps and closures with a growing presence in Asia through our plant in Kulim, Malaysia, we’re excited to bring our expertise to Indonesia. This marks an important milestone as we continue to strengthen our connections with customers and partners across the region.

Representing UNITED CAPS at the event will be Maxime Frouin, Sales & Marketing Director APAC, and Nicholas Chua, Head of Sales APAC, who will be on-site to meet with visitors and share more about our capabilities and product range.

Among the highlights to be showcased are the 29/25 S-SPRING II, a tethered sport cap designed to stay attached to the bottle, helping reduce plastic waste while offering smooth, on-the-go convenience. Our 23-HPAK also will be displayed, a high-performance carton closure that delivers efficiency and affordability without the need for costly line changes, along with the 99/127 KINDCAP, an eco-friendly snap cap for infant milk powder cans that recently won the Gold Prize at the Sustainability Design Competition at SWOP 2024.

Join us at ProPak Indonesia 2025 and discover how we’re shaping the future of caps and closures through dedication, performance, and partnership. Together, let’s explore new possibilities and create lasting connections.

We look forward to discovering how we can serve you even better!

Sustainability Week this year takes place on 4, 5 and 6 November at 2 PM CET, and features three live webinars that explore how sustainability is embedded across UNITED CAPS and how the company is helping customers prepare for the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) coming into force in August 2026.

“EU packaging regulation is entering a new era,” said Benoît Henckes, CEO of UNITED CAPS. “These stricter rules emphasise design for recyclability, support responsible material selection, and aim to minimise unnecessary packaging while strengthening Extended Producer Responsibility. It’s a decisive moment for our industry.

At UNITED CAPS, sustainability has long been part of our DNA. We’re working hand in hand with customers to encourage lifecycle thinking, support compliance readiness, and provide reliable access to recycled polymers. Sustainability Week forms part of our broader effort to help every customer navigate the new regulations with clarity and confidence.”

Sustainability Week: The Details

Sustainability Week showcases how UNITED CAPS brings its sustainability commitment to life through innovation, transparency and partnership. Across three sessions, attendees will gain insight into the company’s approach, its support for customers navigating new requirements, and how sustainability has become one of the top three buying criteria in packaging today.

“These webinars go beyond theory,” said Mark Tomkinson from the Communications Team at UNITED CAPS, who will host the webinars. “They focus on practical solutions that will help brands meet PPWR requirements and strengthen their sustainability credentials.”

Attendees can expect the following during these three live sessions and will have the opportunity to ask questions to UNITED CAPS experts:

PPWR: Rules, Risks and Opportunities You Can’t Ignore
Understand how new European packaging regulations will reshape design, sourcing and market access, and what that means for your business.
Tuesday, November 4th – 2 PM CET

UNITED CAPS’ Mark Tomkinson sits down with Pierre-Henri Bournazel, Head of Group Sustainability at UNITED CAPS, for a conversation about one of the most significant shifts in European packaging regulation in decades — the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR). Together, they explore how it will shape design choices, sourcing strategies, and market access, and what it will take for companies to thrive as sustainability becomes a business imperative.

Making Every Cap Matter
See how sustainability comes to life inside UNITED CAPS, embedded in every function, every process and every cap we produce.
Wednesday, November 5th – 2 PM CET

Mark Tomkinson is joined by representatives from across UNITED CAPS for an open conversation about how sustainability is operationalised across the value chain — from product design and production to sourcing and strategy — so that every cap truly matters.

Decode Mass Balance: Turn Complexity into Competitive Edge
Cut through the confusion around mass balance and learn how to use it as a tool for credible sustainability claims and market differentiation.
Thursday, November 6th – 2 PM CET

Mark Tomkinson is again joined by Pierre-Henri Bournazel, Head of Group Sustainability at UNITED CAPS, to demystify one of sustainability’s most complex topics — mass balance. Together, they explore how this approach enables the transition to renewable feedstocks, what its limitations are, and how understanding it can help companies make smarter, more credible sustainability choices.

“Part of being BETTER UNITED is being a strategic partner to our customers,” added Tomkinson. “These conversations reveal the expertise driving sustainability across UNITED CAPS and the practical steps helping our industry move forward together.”

It acknowledges achievements to date whilst reinforcing the company’s commitment to continuous improvement.

“At UNITED CAPS, sustainability is not just a goal, it is a responsibility,” said CEO Benoit Henckes. “Being ranked in the top 35% of companies worldwide by EcoVadis is an important recognition of the progress we continue to make, and it motivates us to go further.”

The EcoVadis rating complements UNITED CAPS’ wider sustainability journey, which includes reducing the carbon footprint of its caps, transitioning to 100% renewable electricity across European operations, and pioneering bio-based and recycled material solutions.

This achievement demonstrates that UNITED CAPS is on the right path, UNITED in its mission to make every cap matter for customers, consumers, and the planet.
