FlexiTubes, the tube packaging division of UFlex Ltd—India’s largest multinational in the flexible packaging sector—will unveil its latest environmentally conscious tube packaging solutions at CMPL Expo 2025. The spotlight will be on tubes crafted using USFDA-approved Post-Consumer Recyclate (PCR), on display at Asia’s foremost event for FMCG contract manufacturing and private labels, taking place at the Jio World Convention Centre, Mumbai, from July 9–11, 2025.

With sustainability now a leading priority in the packaging world, FlexiTubes will feature GREENIKA, its innovative PCR-based tube line. The company recently secured USFDA certification for its recycling process, enabling the use of recycled polyethylene (rPE) in packaging.

This achievement strengthens UFlex’s mission to advance circular packaging solutions and minimize plastic waste. What makes these tubes stand out is their internal sourcing model—UFlex collects and recycles materials in-house, ensuring a reliable supply chain, high-quality output, and reduced environmental impact.

FlexiTubes’ PCR packaging maintains key performance attributes, including high-definition reverse rotogravure printing and a variety of decorative finishes, giving brands the visual impact they require while adopting greener packaging options. Engineered for durability, product safety, and regulatory compliance, these tubes deliver strong barrier protection and aesthetic appeal—making them an ideal solution for companies pursuing sustainability without sacrificing quality or design.

They also support brands in meeting their Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) objectives, which are gaining importance across global markets. In addition to GREENIKA, the company will showcase its other sustainable offerings—Earthika, Kraftika, and Remika—each designed to meet specific environmental benchmarks such as recyclability, compostability, and carbon footprint reduction. FlexiTubes will be exhibiting at Booth A158, Pavilion 3 at CMPL Expo 2025. Attendees are invited to explore next-generation packaging solutions that combine innovation with eco-conscious design.

Recognized as Asia’s top gathering for private label and FMCG contract manufacturing, CMPL Expo draws industry leaders from direct-to-consumer (D2C) brands, packaging firms, ingredient suppliers, and contract manufacturers across sectors including food, beverages, personal care, wellness, and more.

Established in 1985, UFlex has become a global force in flexible packaging with a presence spanning every aspect of the packaging value chain—from films and inks to holography and engineering. Headquartered in Noida, India, the company operates advanced facilities across the UAE, Mexico, Egypt, USA, Poland, Nigeria, CIS, and Hungary.

With a workforce of over 12,000 across continents, UFlex is recognized for its pioneering contributions to sustainable packaging and was the first company globally to be honored at the Davos Recycle Forum in 1995 for developing a solution to recycle mixed plastic waste. Today, the company serves Fortune 500 companies across a variety of sectors in more than 150 countries.
