A NEARLY PERFECT PACKAGING

Breitsamer' organic honeys in paper cups have numerous advantages: they can be recycled, they are made from renewable raw materials, they are climate-neutral and they protect the valuable honey optimally from light.

Nevertheless, there is unfortunately a crucial point where the paper packaging is not yet 100% convincing: in some cases the honey dries out, causing it to lose its liquid or creamy consistency.

The sticking of honey Although it’s a sign of its naturalness, it can lead to subdued mood at the breakfast table. To make sticky jars a thing of the past, Breisamer Honig have developed a specific flip cover. With its functional design and some special features, nothing stands in the way of full honey enjoyment.

Aptar Beauty and  Home is a leading provider of e-commerce capable and sustainable packaging solutions for all distribution channels.

Mondi, a global leader in packaging and paper, has collaborated with Essity and Dow to create new, recyclable secondary packaging for Essity’s feminine care products, using renewable materials and post-consumer recycled content that reduces use of fossil-based materials.

The project consists of an HK-S cartoner  for packing biscuits and a subsequent case packer for forming packs in a wrap-around carton. The placing of the biscuits in the tubular bag into the product cassette of the cartoner is done fully automatically by a loading cell with robots. This combination of machines processes up to 150 boxes per minute with three different packing schemes.

Albéa has just been granted recognition from the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) for its printed extruded tube with low melt flow HDPE Slim Cap.

After its recognition by RecyClass (Plastics Recyclers Europe) last year, the US version of the pioneering mono-material HDPE tube and flip top cap have been formally recognized by APR and is now officially declared compatible with established, at-scale HDPE bottles recycling stream.

1. Is our company overworking ourselves?

Romaco receives support from animal workers. Just in time for the winter break, three bee colonies are moving in at the pharmaceutical machine manufacturer. At the locations of Romaco Pharmatechnik in Karlsruhe, Romaco Kilian in Cologne and Romaco Innojet in Steinen, up to 150,000 bees will be settled in the summer months. The beehives are housed on fallow meadows on the factory premises and are therefore in the immediate vicinity of the Romaco workforce.
