Paper-based packaging is also a trend in the food sector, but the variety of paper types and coating options is large and choosing the right material is often complicated. This is where the Hamburg-based start-up One.Five comes in with a new business model and uses artificial intelligence to find the optimum packaging more quickly.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Plastic-based solutions, which have been the standard for decades, are increasingly coming under regulatory and social pressure to justify themselves. One.five is therefore focussing on highly functional, recyclable paper packaging that is future-proof from a regulatory perspective and can also be economically integrated into existing value chains.<\/p>\n

\u201eWe take a different approach,\u201c says founder Martin Weber. \u201eResearch and development in the packaging market often take a very long time, swallow up large budgets - and a lot of things end up coming to nothing. Our aim is to avoid exactly that and to get the requirements that are critical to success right from the start.\u201c These success-critical requirements are diverse and range from product protection and machinability to barrier properties, recyclability and regulatory compliance through to cost efficiency and consumer acceptance.<\/p>

At its core is an AI-based analysis platform that One.five continuously feeds with material, process and application data. The company operates its own laboratory, produces test batches, accompanies pilot runs at paper manufacturers and converters - and transfers all these findings into a data-driven model.<\/p>\n

The company was founded almost four years ago by Martin Weber and Claire Hae-Min Gusko. Today, around 20 employees work at One.five, half of whom are materials scientists, biologists and bioinformaticians, while the other half are software developers and data scientists. This combination was chosen deliberately.<\/p>
