RECYCLABLE WRAP FOR FOOD PACKAGING
As a part of their sustainability strategies and to foster a conscious use of resources, it is becoming more and more important for companies in the packaging sector to achieve the highest possible degree of packaging recyclability. This extends to composite packaging for food. Composite film manufacturer allvac has had the recyclability of a new film certified by the cyclos-HTP institute.
ADDED VALUE THROUGH COOPERATION
Even if some company CEOs would prefer differently: Nobody can be the market leader in everything. Some companies therefore enter into cooperations to be able to offer their customers more comprehensive and adapted solutions. Around 86,000 cooperations outside the proprietary business group have been noted by the EU Statistical Office since 2020, involving small and medium-sized enterprises within the EU. The example of Koch Pac-Systeme and Zahoransky shows the details of how such a cooperation can work.

TRAINING TO OVERCOME THE LACK OF SKILLED PROFESSIONALS
Next to the energy crisis, the lack of resources, problems along the supply chain and the constant issue of sustainability, it is the lack of trained professionals that continues to affect the industry.

SAFE PROTECTION UNDER DIFFICULT CONDITIONS
When goods are transported from A to B, things do not always happen according to plan – accidents may occur, or the transport packaging may have to resist difficult conditions. Especially for easily flammable substances, this can become a problem. A new combination IBC by Schütz now offers filling goods double protection. The company also uses recyclates for their three-layer IBC containers.

Where is the packaging industry heading?

That was Fachpack 2022
More than 1,150 exhibitors, around 32,000 visitors, three days of packaging in the spotlight – that’s a brief numerical summary of this year’s Fachpack. But that would hardly do justice to the full scope and significance of the packaging trade fair. After all, at the end of September in Nuremberg, not only were hands shaken, business cards exchanged and kilometres made, but ideas were compared, innovations presented and business relationships initiated. And packaging journal was right in the middle of it all.
