In collaboration with Verdofoam®, Nexam has achieved a significant milestone. They developed a process to replace fossil-based polystyrene foam used in e-commerce packaging. The key lies in Nexam’s unique additive technology, which enables the expansion of bio-based plastics like PLA (polylactic acid). This has been a technical challenge until now. 

Billions of euros have been spent on recycling infrastructure in Greece. Dozens of information and awareness-raising campaigns have been carried out.

The streets of Greek cities are full of bins collecting all kinds of materials: plastic and aluminium packaging, paper, food scraps, footwear and clothing. In many different retail stores, there are special bins that collect batteries and electrical appliances for recycling.

Tilak Polypack Pvt. Ltd. proudly announces its continued growth and leadership as a premier manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of advanced flexible packaging materials and films. With over 30 years of industry expertise, Tilak Polypack has built a strong reputation for delivering high-quality, customizable packaging solutions to clients across domestic and international markets. 

Solenis, a leading producer of specialty chemicals, is collaborating with Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (HEIDELBERG), an innovative technology company with a leading position in the global printing industry, to advance a more cost-effective way of integrating barrier coatings for paper packaging directly within the existing flexographic printing process.

Barrier coatings are used to repel hot and cold liquids, oils, greases, and water vapor in paper packaging.

Bio-based protection that works

Shipping sensitive optical and electronic equipment leaves no room for error - minor shocks or dust can affect performance. That’s why Thorlabs Sweden partnered with Emballageteknik and Stora Enso to create renewable, high-performance packaging to replace fossil-based foams.

“For us, protection and cleanliness are critical. Papira® has proven that a bio-based material can meet our technical requirements while supporting our sustainability ambitions”

– Olle Rosenqvist, Development Manager at Thorlabs Sweden AB.
