mikopac is a belgian company that is specialised in plastic packaging. these are made out of polyproplylene. &quotthe reason we make packaging out of polypropylene is that this material can absorb large changes in temperature,&quot says director karl hermans. &quotwe serve a lot of different segments, including the fruit and vegetable sector. &quotour customers mainly supply processed fruit and vegetables. this is because the fresh sector is mainly interested in pet, seethrough plastic. polypropylene is often not transparent enough for them.&quotprocessed fruit and vegetable sectorthe share in the processed fruit and vegetable sector is around 10. in germany more goes towards the fruit and vegetable sector. there we have a collaboration with a company who supplies salads to retailers. in the benelux we offer packaging to companies who produce cut or frozen fruits and vegetables. we expect this to grow even more. products often packaged in polypropylene include ice cream, cheese, dairy, baby food, meat and fish.&quot he indicates that the opacity of polypropylene isn&39t a problem for most customers. &quotit is possible to make our products more transparent, but the clearer the packaging, the more chance of a tear. it makes the product less secure.&quothistorymikopac originally started out under a different name as a coffee roasting factory in breda around 1800. in 1908 they moved to turnhout and grew quickly over the years. in the 70s the plastic production began to take shape. nowadays the company is subdivided in the production of coffee miko and packaging mikopac. as of 1998 mikopac has been a listed company and has locations in oudturnhout, poland and germany. this year a location will be opened in indonesia. the main buyers are in germany, belgium, the united kingdom, poland and the netherlands.to sizethe packaging is designed customer specifically. &quotwe have a high level of customer intimacy, everything is done to size, from design to final product. the price level is higher, but the customer gets extra service. in the area of logistics we make a difference. for instance, there are lots of flavours of ice cream. they are sorted here and labelled in different languages and transported to the right countries.&quotbiodegradablemikopac uses various technologies to make their products thermal formation, injection moulding and inmould labelling. karl hermans says that plastic has a lot of advantages. &quotthe material has no equal when it comes to weight, shock resistance and hygiene. the flip side of these qualities are that plastic is hardly biodegradable. that&39s why we believe it is our duty to keep the ecological footprint as small as possible. the excess in our production process is therefore recycled to new raw materials, which means we produce barely any waste.&quot he believes that they are close to a solution to faster biodegradable plastics. &quotwe are collaborating with basf on a project that decays plastic on a shorter term. the big challenge in this is that the production costs are much higher.&quotsustainabilitysustainability is also high on their agenda. &quotwe limit the use of energy and the input of renewable energy sources is a must for mikopac. the fitted solar panels on the new company hall will certainly contribute to this. the total surface is an annual yield of 425 mwh or the annual use of 100 families. the heat produced by the air pressure machines is also used to heat the production spaces, storage spaces and offices in the winter.&quotfor more informationkarl hermansmikopacsteenweg op turnhout 1602360 oudturnhout belgiumtel 32 014 46 27 50info@mikopac.comwww.mikopac.com&nbsp
