Bobst has become a member of CEFLEX (A Circular Economy for Flexible Packaging), the joint initiative of European companies and associations that covers the entire flexible packaging supply chain.<\/p>\n

The company shares the CEFLEX mission<\/strong>which Increase the performance of flexible packaging in a circular economy<\/strong>, by cooperating with companies that cover the entire supply chain to develop better system solutions.<\/p>\n

One Circular economy<\/strong> is based on the principles of developing reusable and recyclable products and materials<\/strong>, that can be kept in circulation to avoid waste and environmental pollution in supply chains.<\/p>

The same applies to Composites made from paper and bioplastics<\/strong> with a high barrier effect as alternatives. At the K 2019 trade fair, the company, together with several industry partners, presented the first industrially applicable results<\/strong> The company is presenting various newly developed composite solutions made from monomaterials with a high barrier effect that fulfil all the industry's requirements for their workability, their barrier effect, their safety and their visual quality<\/strong> fulfil.<\/p>
