Stockholm-based packaging technology company Meadow has announced a new collaboration with Stephen Gould Corporation, a global dispenser supplier. With 80 years of experience helping brands bring their packaging to market, Stephen Gould will handle the production of dispensers using MEADOW KAPSUL™ technology, strengthening Meadow’s complete supply chain, from can manufacturing and co-packing to dispenser production.

This alliance comes at a time when Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws are driving the shift towards sustainable packaging in the United States. States such as California, Colorado, Maine, Oregon, and Minnesota have already adopted or are implementing EPR frameworks that hold producers responsible for the environmental impact of their packaging. This growing regulatory momentum is generating increased demand for recyclable and circular packaging solutions, with MEADOW KAPSUL™ being a scalable and cost-effective option.

As part of the agreement, Stephen Gould Corporation will be the global supplier of dispensers with MEADOW KAPSUL™ technology, offering both economical standard options and customized solutions with each client’s branding. Integrating dispenser production into Meadow’s network will enable brands to adopt this innovative technology efficiently, providing versatile packaging in various materials, shapes, colors, and brand formats. Thanks to Stephen Gould’s design expertise, brands will be able to apply their aesthetic factor to MEADOW KAPSUL™ dispensers, combining visual impact with sustainability. This collaboration will allow Meadow to accelerate the expansion of its pioneering technology and generate new growth opportunities for brands and partners globally.

Stephen Gould Corporation’s strong local presence in the U.S., along with its international operations, will favor the adoption of MEADOW KAPSUL™ in key markets. As an integral packaging partner, the company will manage projects throughout the supply chain, from sourcing cans to coordinating co-packing and logistics, ensuring a seamless integration of the technology for brands.
