At Fachpack, Etimex will be presenting sustainable packaging solutions for the food and pharmaceutical industries, including the new thermoforming film, which can be produced from a thickness of 300 μm.
The company's declared mission to establish sustainable processes, save resources, reduce plastic and develop recyclable products has resulted in the Etimex Green Map was created. About this Signposts to greater environmental awareness also includes active support and cooperation in important initiatives and projects, such as the „Zero Pellet Loss“ initiative or the „Recycling of PET trays“ project, both initiated by the IK Industrievereinigung Kunststoffverpackungen e. V. (German Association of Plastics Packaging).
One of the sustainable products in the company's portfolio is thermoforming film. Thanks to a new production process, it can now be manufactured from a thickness of just 300 μm. The optimisation also includes stronger barrier properties. Using this film, it is possible to Save up to 25 per cent of the previous minimum thickness, This means that less packaging material is used and processed overall. This has a positive effect on the CO2-emissions.
Etimex Green Map supports the circular economy
The Green Map starts with the recyclability of packaging. Through the Use of recycled plastic (rPET) the material finds its way back into the production cycle. This is why fully recyclable monomaterials are implemented in the areas of thermoforming films, pharmaceutical films and flexible films. This includes the production of detectable PP/cPET trays, PP barrier trays and recyclable PP monoblisters.
The PP monoblister won the jury of the German Packaging Award 2021 convinced. The company is one of the winners of the German Packaging Award in the sustainability category.
