UNITED CAPS has achieved yet another milestone! Building on the 2023 triumph of BUMP CAP, which won the SAVE FOOD DESIGN AWARD, we’ve once again taken Gold at the Shanghai World of Packaging (swop) Sustainability Design Competition. This year, the honour goes to KINDCAP—a ground-breaking lightweight closure for infant milk powder cans, showcasing our commitment to innovation and sustainability.

Hosted by the World Packaging Organisation (WPO) in partnership with the FAO and UNIDO, the competition celebrates innovations that balance sustainability and performance. KINDCAP stood out for its ultra-lightweight design that delivers top-tier functionality while reducing environmental impact.

"KINDCAP shows how innovation and sustainability can go hand in hand," said Astrid Hoffmann-Leist, Chief Innovation/Communications Officer and Business Director for Asia Pacific. "It’s kinder to both the planet and the bottom line."

Why KINDCAP Won

• Lightweight Design: Uses less plastic without compromising durability or ease of use.

• Eco-Friendly Energy: Produced at European sites powered by 100% wind energy since 2023.

• Bio-Based Materials: Features Crude Tall Oil (TO), reducing fossil fuel reliance and CO₂ footprint.

These advancements cut KINDCAP’s CO₂ emissions by 72% compared to traditional caps.
