[**ProAmpac**](https://www.proampac.com/?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) **and** [**ScottsMiracle-Gro**](https://scottsmiraclegro.com/?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) **have unveiled a spouted refill pouch for the Ortho Home Defense Max pest control product, said to utilize 90% less plastic while optimizing the pack for e-commerce.**

The pouch is intended to facilitate convenient refill for the dispensing system a consumer already owns, rather than requiring them to purchase a new one. It is designed to be easy to use while reducing the plastic required per unit.

Transitioning away from a rigid container is also set to reduce the pack’s overall weight and optimizeit for e-commerce channels, all without sacrificing the amount of solution per pack.

ProAmpac’s chemical- and UV-resistant printing and laminating technology also claims to improve the pack’s durability and preserve the product’s integrity.

“The new Ortho Home Defense Max packaging represents a major step forward in sustainability and consumer convenience,” added Keith Miller, senior packaging engineer at ScottsMiracle-Gro. “By introducing a spouted pouch, we’ve significantly reduced our plastic packaging footprint while ensuring that our customers continue to receive the high-performance pest control solutions they trust.”

Earlier this year, [Mondi](https://www.mondigroup.com/?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) and [Sherwin-Williams](https://www.sherwin-williams.com/?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) revealed [recyclable spouted pouches](https://packagingeurope.com/news/sherwin-williams-offers-paint-refills-in-mondis-spouted-pouch/12536.article?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) for concentrated paint refills. These were expected to lower the plastic consumption of a 5-litre bucket by 90%, with consumers encouraged to reuse their plastic tubs in the paint mixing process.

[L’Oréal](https://www.loreal.com/en/?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) has also [relaunched refill pouches](https://packagingeurope.com/news/loreal-relaunches-refill-pouches-under-new-consumer-awareness-campaign/12975.article?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) for several of its hair care, skincare, and fragrance products in its new #JoinTheRefillMovement campaign. In doing so, it hopes to save between 60% and 82% of plastic per refill.
