Packaging materials

Wooden pallets are often used for transporting goods. But there are alternatives which could have critical advantages. For example, manufacturer of plastic pallets Cabka produces pallets made of recycled plastics which are especially suited for the chemical industry.

Often invisible and yet irreplaceable in many areas of the world of packaging: glue. The desire for more sustainability doesn’t cast the same limelight on adhesives that it shines on packaging, which is far easier to notice for consumers. But here, too, much can be done to reduce carbon emissions and optimise production to be more circular.

Mechanical engineering Company SML and Braskem, the largest producer of plastics in the Americas and producer of biopolymers, now have entered a cooperation and are using recycled raw materials for film production. The use of PCR (post-consumer recyclates) is supposed to save resources and reduce waste.
