SIG launches aseptic carton packs without aluminium layer
SIG has introduced one-litre aseptic carton packs made from Terra Alu-free + Full barrier material without an aluminium layer. This move aims to reduce the environmental impact compared to standard SIG cartons. After success with single-serve cartons, SIG is now applying its aluminium-free material to the juice category and multi-serve formats. In parts of Germany, retailer Aldi will use this packaging for its Rio d'oro grape juice, which lowers the carbon footprint of standard multi-serve cartons by 29%. The cartons are filled by Quargentan, an Italian food and beverage producer, using its existing SIG Midi 12 Aseptic filling machine. The new material reportedly matches the protective qualities and 12-month shelf life of standard SIG aseptic cartons. Available worldwide, the packaging material works with existing SIG filling lines, capable of producing up to 24,000 small cartons or 15,000 multi-serve cartons per hour. Minimal changes to filling machines are needed, allowing manufacturers to switch easily between aluminium-free and standard materials. By eliminating the aluminium layer typically used in cartons for products such as plant-based drinks, juice, or flavoured milk, the material uses over 80% paper and a thin polymer coating to shield against oxygen, light, moisture, and loss of aroma. This reduces the number of raw materials used from three to two and, when paired with wood-based polymers, can decrease the carbon footprint of multi-serve SIG cartons by up to 61%. SIG Europe president and general manager José Matthijsse said: 'At SIG, one of our goals is to increase the paper content in our aseptic cartons to at least 90% -including the closure - by 2030, allowing further reduction of carbon emissions, and creating a regenerative food packaging system. 'On the way there, we have developed this packaging structure that is made of more than 80% paper and reduces the number of raw materials from three to two. 'This breakthrough innovation has the potential to streamline the recycling process for aseptic cartons, only requiring the separation of paperboard and polymers.' Earlier this month, SIG unveiled its plans to expand its advanced aseptic carton production facility in Querétaro, Mexico. "SIG launches aseptic carton packs without aluminium layer" was originally created and published by Packaging Gateway, a GlobalData owned brand.

Bold Move: BYD Takes Car-Crash Liability for Level‑4 Parking
China's BYD has pledged to assume full legal and financial responsibility for any accidents involving its new Level‑4 autonomous parking system, marking a decisive shift in automaker liability practices. The commitment, limited to parking scenarios using its 'God's Eye' system, allows drivers to bypass insurance claims entirely: damages will be handled directly through BYD after-sales services. BYD's announcement follows confirmation that its God's Eye system has reached Level‑4 autonomy in smart parking settings, enabling vehicles to handle parking tasks fully independently under defined conditions. Drivers can remove their hands, eyes and minds from the process during use. By assuming liability—a first for Level‑4 parking technology—the company reflects strong confidence in its product, citing its extensive smart‑vehicle cloud infrastructure, the largest R&D team in the sector, and over one million vehicles now equipped. Unlike traditional insurance frameworks where drivers often face premium hikes after an accident, BYD's approach aims to protect users from financial penalty: repairs, third‑party property damage and personal injury compensation incurred through algorithm malfunctions or sensor errors will be covered by the automaker. Legal liability will be determined by whether the system was at fault, not by the vehicle owner. This hands‑off model emphasises convenience, trust and reduced risk for customers. ADVERTISEMENT BYD is not alone in developing Level‑4 parking capabilities: Mercedes‑Benz has demonstrated similar technology within a designated automated garage at Stuttgart Airport. However, Mercedes only offers placement in limited areas; BYD seeks broader deployment across its domestic fleet. While Tesla and others pioneer driver‑assist innovations—Tesla's Autopark remains at Level‑2—BYD's insurance guarantee sets it apart as an industry trailblazer. The liability pledge comes alongside the launch of BYD's most significant over‑the‑air software update to date. The enhancement extends to all God's Eye B and C variants, promising improved parking scenarios, a 'three‑speed parking' feature, as well as safety and driving performance upgrades. The system now supports complex manoeuvres like offset and front‑in parking, automatic mirror folding, and better detection of overhead obstacles. Analysts say this strategic move addresses ongoing regulatory scrutiny and consumer concerns about who is liable when an autonomous system errs. China's evolving rules now require clarity on technical capabilities, driver monitoring and safety, particularly after high‑profile incidents involving other emerging autonomous systems. BYD's guarantee may fortify consumer trust while differentiating it from Tesla, whose Full Self‑Driving feature remains under investigation in multiple jurisdictions. Consumers will benefit directly: if a parked BYD vehicle is at fault in an incident using God's Eye, users simply contact BYD after‑sales support. The repair is handled with zero involvement of insurers and without impact on insurance premiums. By shifting risk back to the manufacturer, BYD may spur competitors to rethink liability models—especially as automated systems become more commonplace. BYD's God's Eye suite varies across three tiers: C on budget models like the Seagull; B adds LiDAR to mid‑range vehicles; A integrates three LiDAR sensors for premium brands such as Yangwang. Importantly, the Level‑4 parking functionality is not limited to high‑end models—it is being rolled out across all tiers via the OTA update. This accelerated democratisation of autonomous parking is part of BYD's broader ambition to embed intelligent driving across its lineup at accessible price points. Regulators, insurers and rival manufacturers will watch closely as BYD's system is tested at scale. The company's coverage promise may shift industry norms, particularly in countries where liability regimes for autonomous systems remain unsettled. If successful, this strategy could evolve into a competitive masterstroke—offering state‑of‑the‑art tech while guarding consumer interests.

Roar like a Lioness! England share inspiring words as they defend Euros title
A trio of Lionesses hope their personal mantras will inspire the public in their everyday lives as the England team looks to bring football back home once again in Euro 2025 England football fans are ready to roar for the Lionesses as they defend their UEFA Euro title this summer in Switzerland. But the team are not just about serving up goal after goal - they're also about delivering powerful mantras that fuel the squad's spirit when it counts the most. Want to talk like a Lioness? Then here's how you can learn the lingo... Goalkeeper Hannah Hampton personal mantra 'full send' is the unapologetic rallying cry which pushes her to the limit when the pressure is on. Striker Alessia Russo 's 'cool, calm, collected' is the straightforward reminder that everything is under control. While defender Lucy Parker's quietly powerful 'you've got this' helps her stay calm during even the toughest moments. To help spread the Lionesses' words of wisdom, official England partner Extra has brought the players' words to key locations in their hometowns ahead of the tournament on the continent. In Hampton's old stomping ground of Studley, Warwickshire you can step into the Full Send Salon and get a Lioness-themed gel polish that can survive even the most nail-biting moments of the tournament. As a reminder to take a moment for yourself, there are 100 free treatments available when you book with Studley's Synergy Hair & Beauty using the code FULLSEND25. Parker's 'you've got this' covers the streets of her hometown, Cambridge, including St John's, Trinity and Pembroke Colleges, supporting students as they hit their next deadline or brave a late-night revision sprint. Finally, Russo's 'cool, calm, collected' now adorns a local bus in Maidstone, offering a moment of grounded clarity to weary commuters navigating busy commutes. It's the ultimate pre-9am pep talk, serving a crisp, no-fuss reminder that even small shifts in mindset can go a long way. Lucy Sherlock, Senior Brand Manager at Extra says: 'The Lionesses know better than most how to reset when they need to rise to the occasion. We hope that by bringing their mantras back to where it all began, we can inspire everyone, fans and the public alike, to find their own Lioness Lingo for those everyday moments where the right words make all the difference.' The Lionesses' lingo will be on public display from July 1 to 31, celebrating the team's journey through the tournament and encouraging moments of everyday calm. Can the team go on and win the tournament yet again though? England need to adapt to being the hunted rather than the hunters after their transformation under Sarina Wiegman, according to former Lionesses goalkeeper Rachel Brown-Finnis. Wiegman's team go their Euro 2025 opener against France on Saturday as one of the pre-tournament favourites. The manager famously took England all the way in 2022, winning the Euros on home soil. One year later at the World Cup only the might of Spain prevented them from adding another major trophy to their cabinet. "I think there's been a period of time where England have been the hunters, during my era, to have switched that to being the hunted," BBC commentator Brown-Finnis told Mirror Football. "Based on rankings, based on tournament predictions, England - probably bar Spain - go into it as favourites."
