Light Weight Glass Bottles

In a major breakthrough for bringing sustainable innovations to market, O-I Australia’s designers and manufacturing teams have overcome some formidable technical challenges. Although it will not seem noticeable to the consumer and indeed customers, the environmental and logistical impact of this development is massive. O-I has reduced the weight of selected wine bottles by 18-28% (saving almost 20,000 tonnes of glass packaging /annum). The flow-on effects include a 20% reduction in energy use and a carbon dioxide saving of over 11,130 tonnes per year. Equally impressive is a saving of 12% in water usage per container and overall water savings of 4,720kL per year. An additional achievement is the reduced carbon footprint in freight distribution to packers and customers around the world.

 

Re-sealable Top For Wines

The ZORK SPK is the world’s first re-sealable top for sparkling wines. This radical design move will change forever the presentation and closure of sparkling wine. It allows easy open and re-seal, which encourages consumption in moderation and extends the life of the product. Containing an ingenious 4 piece construction, the ZORK SPK features a soft seal which holds the pressure, a foil gas barrier to prevent flatness and oxidation, and a collet and cap locking mechanism. The ZORK SPK has a 40% smaller carbon footprint than the cork muselet and foil alternative, becomes a reusable re-sealer for other bottles for the rest of its working lifetime and is 100% recyclable.

 

Needle-Trap

Needle-Trap combines a label with an injection-molded part in a single labeling and needle protection solution. After using a prefilled syringe, a label-integrated plastic trap serves to secure the contaminated needle. The product helps protect healthcare professionals in a functionally effective as well as cost-saving manner. In addition, pharmaceutical manufacturers can easily integrate this solution into their existing processes. Criteria like user friendliness, design, quality and economy were instrumental in Schreiner MediPharm’s winning of the WorldStar award. The decision of the international jury confirmed MediPharm’s leading position as a global provider of innovative solutions.Schreiner MediPharm, Germany, Phone: +49 89 3154-5400, Fax: +49 89 315845422, E-Mail: info@schreiner-medipharm.com
