There is no way around the issue of sustainability, not even in the packaging industry. Many companies are faced with the challenge of making their production CO2<\/sub>-and make their packaging more environmentally friendly. A co-operation between Uhlmann Pac-Systeme and Etimex Primary Packaging shows how this can be achieved.<\/strong><\/p>

Genuine sustainability is more in demand than ever, and the product market is experiencing continuous growth in this area. As a result, the demand for sustainable packaging solutions is also changing, and a response to this is becoming a must for manufacturers. Here, manufacturers should not opt for a sustainable packaging material alone, but for an offer with cooperation between the system and packaging material manufacturer<\/strong> - for long-term use with success. The Uhlmann Pac-Systeme GmbH & Co. KG<\/a> and the Etimex Primary Packaging GmbH<\/a> have been exemplifying this model for decades, making the products of their customers in the pharmaceutical and food supplement sectors fit for the future.<\/p>

The sustainability trend is bearing fruit and is helping the packaging industry to make a necessary change. After all, sustainability does not begin and end with the product, but encompasses the entire process - including packaging.<\/strong> This is why more and more manufacturers are entering the market for sustainable packaging solutions. Customers who not only want to make their products more environmentally conscious, but also the associated packaging, now have a wide range to choose from. However, new challenges are arising: The practicability and interfaces of newly developed solutions have mostly not yet been tested, and their long-term use has not yet been proven.<\/strong> How, for example, is it possible to find the packaging variant for which solutions for reliable and efficient processing already exist in a wide range of products?<\/p>

This is where established interfaces between manufacturers come into play. The example of the system manufacturer Uhlmann and the packaging material manufacturer Etimex illustrates this type of cooperation, which is beneficial to the customer.<\/p>

Etimex has already established its standing in the field of sustainable packaging and has Sustainability firmly anchored in the corporate strategy<\/strong>. The polypropylene (PP) monoblister, consisting of thermoforming film and press-through sealing film, received the German Packaging Award in the Sustainability category in 2021.

This means that the single-material blister fulfils the aspects of recyclability<\/strong>, that are demanded of sustainable packaging today, without losing any of its technical packaging properties.<\/p>
