New Report Shows That Investment in Sustainable Packaging Material Will Increase Over the Next Five Years as Producers Move to Innovative, Environmentally-Friendly Options

New Report Shows That Investment in Sustainable Packaging Material Will Increase Over the Next Five Years as Producers Move to Innovative, Environmentally-Friendly Options

A new report, ‘Sustainable Packaging in Europe: the drive for change’, launched today at the Rethinking Materials Innovation and Investment Summit in London by material technologies business, Aquapak, shows that the European packaging industry is shifting the balance of materials it plans to use in the future and is investing in more sustainable options.

The report, based on unique research with sustainable packaging experts in the UK, Italy and Germany 1 , reveals that 62% expect their company to increase their budgets for investing in sustainable packaging material over the next five years, with a further 23% expecting to see budgets increase dramatically.

This rise in funding is reflected in the predicted increase in use of multi material (a combination of paper and plastic), new polymers and paper over the next five years, whilst the use of polyethylene is set to decline.

The study shows that when it comes to the three of the most common packaging materials, the majority (83%) of respondents expect to increase the use multi material across their product portfolios and almost three quarters (72%) will make more use of paper over the next five years. When it comes to innovative new materials, 69% and 65% anticipate a greater use of new polymers such as PVOH and bioplastics respectively in their packaging material. These trends are similar over a ten-year horizon.

The data shows it is the use of polyethylene which is set to see a decline over the next five years, with 45% of respondents seeking to use less of the material across their product portfolios.

When it comes to the most important attributes of the packaging material used, product protection is the key feature, with barrier properties, extending the shelf life and functionality – ease of use for the end-consumer, regarded as more important than recyclability.

Commenting on the findings, Mark Lapping, Chief Executive Officer, Aquapak, said: “Our research shows that the European packaging industry is moving towards more sustainable materials such as paper and new polymers as they focus on the circular economy. However, it is also clear that the job packaging has to do is paramount, with product protection and functionality a priority. The good news is that new barrier film technologies exist, offering both performance and environmental responsibility at scale.”

Aquapak has developed Hydropol TM , a polymer based on PVOH, which can be successfully coated on to both paper and board, with proven gas and grease barrier properties, with additional functionality such as heat seal and increased paper sheet strength can also be imparted, making it suitable for a range of packaging uses such as bags and pouches.

Aquapak has already proven that Hydropol coated paper is 100% repulpable in standard pulping systems and can be fully recycled and it proven to give real improvement when set against current regulations which allow the ‘recyclable’ label to be used if there is up to 15% unrecyclable material in the product. If littered Hydropol is biodegradable, compostable, as well as being non-toxic and marine-safe.

High-Volume Paper Void-Fill System for Large Parcels

The new PAPERplus Dragonfly machine is designed to produce fluffy paper pads for fast and efficient void filling in large and medium-sized boxes.

With PAPERplus Dragonfly, Storopack is expanding its protective paper packaging portfolio. Based on the technology of the popular PAPERplus Papillon machine, it is designed for fast and efficient void filling. Adjustable to three different speeds to suit the operators’ packing comfort, PAPERplus Dragonfly produces between 160 and 200 feet of extra wide crimped paper pads per minute, rapidly filling the box to hold down and secure goods for shipment. It’s the only machine on the packaging market with a Variable Cushion Density Feature to create fluffy paper pads with adjustable volume as needed. This allows for optimal pack integrity in medium to large parcels weighing between approximately 11 and 22 pounds.

Extra wide, fluffy paper padding

“PAPERplus Dragonfly is different, innovative and performs better than any other machine on the market,” says Paul Deis, PAPER Product Manager at Storopack. “There is no other system that can produce paper packaging with a comparable ‘fluffy’ volume. This reduces the amount of paper used in a box but still provides the best protection for the product.” Like PAPERplus Papillon, Dragonfly is very safe to operate: with no cutting system, the machine’s sophisticated gears separate the paper. As with other PAPERplus machines, it can easily be incorporated into existing packing processes. The consumable is a two-ply fan-folded paper available in two densities and two bundle lengths, including a continuous feed bulk pallet option for larger volumes.

PAPERplus Dragonfly allows an optimal pack integrity in medium to large parcels.

EU Commission Confirms Good Progress in Macbeth Project for Efficient Reactors

The MACBETH technology project is taking shape and has received a positive interim evaluation from the EU Commission.

  • Construction of the demonstration plant at the Marl location has started
  • Technology saves CO2 and resources and is thus an important contributor to the European Green Deal
  • Federal Ministry of Education and Research recognizes potential in success brochure

The MACBETH technology project is taking shape and has received a positive interim evaluation from the EU Commission. Shortly after the start of construction of the planned demonstration plant in Marl, the Commission had the progress of the project evaluated. The auditors were very satisfied with the project, which was launched in 2020 and is the largest EU-funded project coordinated by Evonik.

The aim of MACBETH is to develop reactors that make important large-scale chemical reactions such as hydroformylation significantly more energy-efficient. Membranes and catalysts play a central role in this (MACBETH stands for Membranes And Catalysts Beyond Economic and Technological Hurdles). “The project is exceptionally well managed. It is very large and has ambitious goals that are being enthusiastically driven by the project leaders and their partners,” says Assessor Annette Juhr, professor of process engineering at Beuth University in Berlin. Accordingly, considerable efforts were made to avoid jeopardizing the project’s anticipated success, in light of the challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic.

A central goal of the project is sustainability. Greenhouse gas emissions from important large-volume industrial processes could be reduced by up to 35 percent, with an increase in resource and energy efficiency of up to 70 percent. MACBETH thus makes an important contribution to the European Green Deal. This significant potential has also been recognized by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. On its behalf, MACBETH was included in a brochure of just ten success projects that are being funded under the broad EU framework program Horizon 2020.

“The project has already succeeded in bringing the technology of catalytic membrane reactors closer to industrial implementation,” explains Professor Dr. Robert Franke, project coordinator of the overall MACBETH project and head of hydroformylation research at Evonik. The mechanical completion of the demonstration plant is scheduled for Q3 2023.

In hydroformylation, unsaturated hydrocarbons – so-called olefins – are converted into aldehydes using synthesis gas – a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. Aldehydes, in turn, are important intermediates on the way to higher alcohols, organic acids or esters, which are then used, for example, as plasticizers in plastics or as surfactants.

Fast and Effortless Wallpaper Offering by Xeikon and Ahlstrom Collaboration

Fast and Effortless Wallpaper Offering by Xeikon and Ahlstrom Collaboration

Wallpaper has been around for a few centuries. But during the past twenty years, it has undergone an exciting reinvention. Driven by the global hype of “everything can and will be customized”, so-called single-wall solutions have become an interior design must have. Putting up, and removing, wallpaper can be quite an effort prompting consumers to seek professional help. This, of course, increases the cost of the final product: a decorated wall.

Ahlstrom has overcome a lot of the challenges of applying and removing wallpaper with its a new range of self-adhesive nonwovens. In fact, wallpaper can now be easily swapped, enabling consumers to confidently fully customise and redecorate walls themselves.

Ahlstrom’s WallStar Digital Peel & Up range makes decoration quick and effortless, even for a novice home decorator. No glue or special equipment is needed. It’s easy to reposition during installation and also straightforward to remove. The user can simply peel away the wallpaper of the release liner and apply it to the wall. Trouble-free removability enables smooth repositioning or replacement with a different design. No adhesive is left on the wall after removal. The Peel & Up range includes 100% PVC-free satin and matt media.

WallStar Digital Peel & Up is specifically designed to be printed using a Xeikon digital colour press. The Xeikon wall decoration solution, based on the Xeikon CX500 digital press, uses dry toner technology. The ability to print with five colours delivers design flexibility. Dry toner print technology stands for superior quality images and complies with all necessary regulations with regard to indoor emissions in the building industry.

Anna Brikh, Product Manager at Ahlstrom, comments,” As a substrate supplier we are literally in between the print and the consumer. The substrate has to bring those two worlds together, meeting market demands and ensuring the state-of-the-art quality of the end product. With our range of nonwovens for wall decor, we have always been looking to provide printers and consumers with high-quality and easy-to-use materials. We believe that WallStar Digital Peel & Up is an important step forward to meet the ongoing customisation trends in the decoration markets.”

“Digital print stands for printing whatever you need, whenever you need it”, says Dimitri Van Gaever, Xeikon’s director of segment marketing for the decoration markets, “We are delighted to be the partner of choice in this kind of development by leading industry players like Ahlstrom. We were very keen to test the Peel & Up range on our CX-series for wall deco as soon as possible. We believe it can become a game changer for the wall deco markets.”

Both Ahlstrom and Xeikon will be exhibiting at the upcoming Fespa Global Print Expo 2023, on stand B2 A20, 23-26 May in Munich, Germany.

Deep Black Laser Marking for Medical Technology: Foba Presents New Product at MedtecLIVE With T4M

Deep Black Laser Marking for Medical Technology: Foba Presents New Product at MedtecLIVE With T4M

Product premiere at the trade fair: FOBA Laser Marking + Engraving is presenting a new product for deep black laser markings at the MedtecLIVE with T4M (Nuremberg, May 23-25, 2023). FOBA will also be part of the production line that premiered in Stuttgart last year and will be set up by several partner companies in the exhibition hall.

“We are excited to debut our latest product at MedtecLIVE with T4M. The product marks not only black, but deep black. This creates a particularly strong and long-lasting contrast with the laser marking,” reports Philipp Febel, Director of Product Management at FOBA. Visitors to the trade fair can see the marking quality for themselves live on site at the FOBA stand in Hall 1, Stand 1-612 and get advice from FOBA’s experts.

FOBA demonstrates laser marking as part of the value chain of a medical product on the production line. Here, the M2000-P laser marking workstation inscribes the trade fair sample in UDI-compliant quality and thus takes on the fifth of a total of seven work steps. Visitors can follow the entire process and, after three-stage component production, cleaning, labeling and passivation, receive a machine-packaged product to take away.

“The production line was already a magnet for visitors at the MedtecLIVE with T4M in Stuttgart last year and will therefore also be part of the trade fair in Nuremberg this year. The structure makes it possible to visualize the various production steps until the visitor holds the finished product in their hands,” says Christian Söhner, FOBA’s Global Vertical Manager Medical, who came up with the idea for the production line on the trade fair advisory board.

“Laser marking is one of the last steps in the production process. It must be ensured that there are no costly incorrect markings,” explains Christian Söhner. FOBA’s camera-based marking systems support the user with an optical inspection before and after the marking process and thus guarantee a safe and UDI-compliant process.

Commercially Compostable VCI Film Brings Corrosion Protection ‘Back to Nature’!

Commercially Compostable VCI Film Brings Corrosion Protection ‘Back to Nature’!

What if plastic packaging could go back to nature once it was used-not only for organics waste, but also for specialty rust preventative packaging? That is what Cortec seeks to do with Eco-Corr Film as a viable option for manufacturers who want to “go green” and reduce plastic pollution while preventing rust on metal.

Rust Prevention and the Circular Economy

Facilities can choose from a variety of ways to introduce the “circular economy” into their rust prevention plan. Among these are the options to select biobased rust preventatives or recyclable paper or plastic packaging products. Such products contribute to the circular economy by being sourced from renewable raw materials and/or by following a sustainable path to recycling at the end of the life cycle. Another increasingly common pathway to sustainability is the composting option, which diverts packaging from the landfill or incinerator and returns it to nature in an industrial composting facility. While most commercially compostable packaging is specifically made for food and yard waste disposal, new industrially compostable materials have been emerging for other packaging purposes including corrosion protection of metals ruring shipping.

When it comes to rust preventative packaging, Cortec’s VpCI-126 Film has become a familiar standard, often recognized by its trademarked VpCI-126 Blue color. While VpCI-126 is widely used in the automotive, preservation, and other industries with the excellent disposal option of recycling it into other valuable materials, it does not have the compostability option. However, Cortec’s longtime interest in exploring biodegradable technology has led to the most recent TÜV Austria certified industrially compostable version of Eco-Corr Film, a commercially compostable VCI (vapor corrosion inhibitor) packaging material that does not pose an ecotoxicity threat to plant growth.

Metal parts packaged in Eco-Corr Film receive ongoing protection against salt, excessive humidity, condensation, moisture, and aggressive industrial atmospheres. In addition to serving as a physical barrier to the elements and inhibiting corrosion on metals in direct contact with the film, Eco-Corr Film also contains Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitors that vaporize and then condense on all accessible metal surfaces within the enclosed package to interrupt the corrosion reaction between metal, oxygen, and an electrolyte. Eco-Corr Film meets German TL-8135-002 and NACE TM0208-2018 standards for corrosion protection and can be used to protect a wide variety of metals, including carbon steel, aluminum, galvanized steel, stainless steel, copper, and brass during domestic and overseas shipments. After use, Eco-Corr Film can be disposed in an industrial composting environment, giving it a final non-polluting destination in the soil.

Who Needs Compostable VCI Film?

Compostable technology such as Eco-Corr Film will be of special interest to companies currently looking for ways to introduce environmental initiatives and fight plastic pollution. The auto industry, which has relied heavily on recyclable VpCI-126 plastic bags, is a prime candidate as they seek to inhibit corrosion on metal parts in ways that are considered more environmentally benign. Companies that sell consumer goods are also aware that many customers will be happy to see efforts to reduce environmental impact with packaging that meets EN 13432/ASTM D6400 standards for commercial compostability. Whatever the driving force, Eco-Corr Film is here to offer packaging material that meets those standards while providing corrosion protection to metal components.

Greif, a global leader in industrial packaging products and services, will launch a significant update to its proprietary interactive carbon emissions reduction calculator at interpack in Germany. The tool is designed to help customers achieve their sustainability goals by understanding the carbon footprint of their packaging.

A version of the company’s Green Tool, which evaluates the environmental impact of industrial packaging solutions produced by Greif using independent lifecycle data, Green Tool Lite will provide customers with carbon footprint metrics for its most popular IBCs, plastic and steel drum products, quickly and efficiently through an easy to use interface.

Green Tool Lite gives customers easy access to environmental impact data by allowing them to analyze and compare specific industrial packaging products by entering key information into a calculator. Results are provided through a simple chart that shows the CO2 emissions created through the manufacture and transportation of one or more product types, such as a new IBC versus a reconditioned one. Also provided is the CO2 emissions equivalence, for example the number of trees that would need to be planted to sequester the same amount of emissions.

“We are excited by the opportunity Green Tool Lite provides in supporting and enabling more customers in their sustainability journey, and we are delighted to be able to showcase it at interpack,” explains Aysu Katun, VP of Sustainability at Greif.

“It will allow us to assist more customers in making informed decisions about their industrial packaging to help reach their sustainability targets. It also supports our own commitment to advancing a circular economy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Each of us has a responsibility to protect the environment and reduce our environmental impact and the opportunity for positive change is greatest through collaboration.”

Touch screens with motion sensors will be available at Greif’s exhibition stand at interpack in Hall 10, B07.B17 for visitors interested in trying out the new sustainability software, which will be available to all customers at www.greif.com in the coming months.
