In collaboration with GEA and watttron, Wolf has achieved a breakthrough in the sustainability of sausage packaging. While maintaining product safety, stability and transparency, the new packaging is 100 per cent recyclable and saves 35 per cent material.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The challenge: Although monomaterials have the best properties for recycling<\/strong>, However, they place special demands on the heating system during production. It was crucial for Wolf that the films remain transparent so that the presentation at the POS remains as attractive as usual.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201eOur major goal is to significantly reduce the amount of plastic in our packaging without compromising on product safety. That's why we were happy to make ourselves available as a pilot customer for testing and adapting the new heating system.\u201c<\/p>

The company's focus is on the Development of environmentally friendly packaging<\/strong>. With the use of the alternative PowerHeat Z and M matrix heating systems for the PowerPak thermoforming packaging machines Packaging now uses monomaterials<\/strong>, which ensure both the required sustainability and the necessary product safety and quality.<\/p>

The stability of the packaging remains intact even when using mono material, which means that product safety is 100 per cent guaranteed and the product can be presented upright on the shelf as usual. The New heating technology also ensures that the film has the desired transparency<\/strong>. The system is also characterised by high energy efficiency, which is important on the path to reducing our own greenhouse gas emissions.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Whilst GEA<\/a> The systems with the innovative heating system from watttron are currently being presented to the public for the first time at IFFA, they are already in use at Wolf. As a first step, the food manufacturer is offering fresh sausage slices in the new packaging, thereby fulfilling consumers' desire for resource-saving packaging. They simply put the empty packaging in the yellow bin or yellow bag as usual and return it to the recycling cycle.<\/p>
