MEADOW KAPSUL™ Technology Earns Excellence Certificate at ADF Innovation Awards

Ball Corporation and Meadow were awarded a Certificate for Outstanding Achievement in Package Innovation in the “Concept of the Year” category at the Global Aerosol and Dispensing Forum (ADF) held in Paris during Packaging Week of 2025. This collaborative work was made possible by their joint development of MEADOW KAPSUL™ Technology, which is a novel approach designed to enhance sustainable packaging technology in the context of the circular economy.

This technology enables the conversion of standard aluminum beverage cans into multi-purpose pre-filled cartridges for personal and home care products. Used with a reusable dispenser, the system enables seamless refilling of the cartridge. A twist open end modification maximizes user satisfaction while full recyclability of the aluminum can is maintained. Furthermore, the can is made lighter through providing a reduced raw material use and lightening the can through the elimination of the conventional pull tab. This innovation enhances economical pre-filling for the consumer while enabling brands to better tailor the solution to their identity.

CEO of Meadow, Victor Ljungberg, shared with us the positive impact the award had on the business by saying, “What we pioneered was taking our new opening technology and applying it to a container. It was a simplistic yet radically innovative approach that was sustainable, user-friendly, and flexible for brands to tailor their marketing to the particular market.”

Senior Business Development Leader at Ball, Nora Milazzo, pointed out the effects of the partnership saying, ” Together with Meadow, we are really trying to enhance sustainability in packaging and make the circular economy a reality, which is what this collaboration illustrates.”

The annual ADF Innovation Awards recognizes recent developments in packaging and design innovation for the different sectors. The submissions are judged by a selection of prominent specialists of the respective field. Currently, the MEADOW KAPSUL™ technology is ready for mass introduction and is expected to be in stores by 2025. Visit meadow.global for details.
