♻️ By 2030, the goal is clear: all plastic packaging should be reusable or recyclable, as per the European Commission's vision. How are you planning to get there? Refillable packaging is a key player in this eco-friendly shift. It's not just about reducing waste; it's about creating a circular economy where every package has a longer life. Read our latest blog to see how refillable packaging is making a difference, and helping businesses and consumers move towards a more sustainable future. #EcoFriendlyPackaging #CircularEconomy #DominoDoMore #ReduceReuseRecycle

Plastic pallets have significant advantages over traditional wood pallets, including much greater durability and longevity, lower trip and lifetime costs, and easier and safer handling. Their relatively light weight reduces transport costs and emissions. However, despite the clear benefits, plastic pallets should be chosen with care. Craemer UK Ltd #sustainablepackaging #recyclability #packaging #sustainability #plastic #circulareconomy #recycledmaterials #resourceefficiency #pallets

In the pursuit of sustainability, my commitment extends to achieving specific design and engineering goals for the years 2024 and 2025: - A reduction in plastic usage by over 35%, resulting in overall cost savings in packaging. - Mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions. - Enhancement of packaging design to optimize truck load capacity. - Ensuring that all packaging is recyclable. - Increasing the use of recycled content in packaging through engineered molds, aiming for 100% PCR. - Phasing out problematic single-use packaging. I am dedicated to serving as a driving force for environmental sustainability, offering solutions in eco-friendly design, mold engineering, and process guidance. Sustainability, in this context, transcends the mere act of recycling or incorporating recycled plastic into our packaging; it entails a comprehensive shift towards a more significant utilization of recycled materials, reflecting our historical reliance on plastic in packaging. Recognizing our social and environmental responsibility, it is imperative to create a greener environment for future generations. As stewards of the planet, initiating small steps in a sustainability program is crucial. This involves adopting practices such as:  A) Using transparent caps and closures for food and beverage packaging (ensuring non-toxic materials).  B) Employing transparent color caps and closures for non-food material packaging (also non-toxic).  C) Utilizing black pigmentation for pesticides and harmful product packaging (indicating toxic content). These measures facilitate ease of segregation for relevant agencies, aiding in the identification and planning of plastic recycling based on material types and their applications within the system. #RecycleResponsibly #SustainableLiving #plasticsindustry #plastics #sustainability #ecofriendly #packagingdesign #packagingindustry #packagingsolutions #petbottles #environment #microplastic #cancerawareness #greenfuture #plasticenvironmentaltechnologist #veone #ecoinnovation #ecowarrior

It is made of a kraft paper backing with a water-based adhesive on one side, which becomes sticky when moistened. The demand is driven by e-commerce, where package security and sustainability are priorities. The global market for WAT is expected to grow at a steady pace, fueled by increasing regulations on plastic use and the shift towards environmentally friendly packaging solutions. As industries seek more sustainable alternatives, WAT’s biodegradability and recyclability are major factors influencing adoption. 💪 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡: Once applied, WAT creates a strong bond with corrugated boxes, providing tamper-evident seals that ensure your shipments are secure during transit. ♻️ 𝐄𝐜𝐨-𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐲: Unlike plastic tapes, WAT is often made from renewable materials like paper and starch-based adhesives, making it fully recyclable and biodegradable. A great choice for businesses looking to reduce their environmental impact! 🛡️ 𝐓𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐄𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞: WAT bonds with the fibers of the box itself, which means if anyone tries to tamper with the package, it will be immediately noticeable. Perfect for protecting high-value goods! #WaterActivatedTape #EcoFriendlyPackaging #SustainablePackaging #SecureSealing #PackagingSolutions #TamperEvidentSeal #StrongSealing #PackagingInnovation #EcoPackaging #WATTape #PaperTape #ShippingSolutions #EnvironmentallyFriendly #DurableSealing

Did anyone ever tell you to peel the labels off your plastic containers? In an article entitled Collaboration is Vital to Driving Recycling Success, in Packaging World Magazine's January/February edition, the plastic sorting process is described. Of the only 9% of plastics that are recycled, there is an additional percentage that is excluded due to contaminants. Contaminants include shrink sleeve labels, and adhesives that do not allow a label to separate from the container. When a label covers more that 55% of a container, it may be eliminated as recyclable PET during the sorting process. PVC and paper labels can cause black flakes in post-consumer PET. Behaviors, such as wish-cycling, cause difficulties at the commercial processing centers (jams, shutdowns, and additional expenses). Consumers place materials in recycling bins that they hope centers will deal with, making the sorting process more tedious. With steel packaging, labels, inks and coatings burn off in the recycling process, along with all other contaminants. There are no steps or guessing games with steel can recycling. Even if a tin can is discarded with other disposables, it can be separated from other waste by magnet and recycled. Manufacturers of plastic, glass and films, are considering recyclability in their packaging design, from the container itself to the adhesives and labels. There is great demand for products and containers with post-consumer, recycled content. Each tin can contains at least 25% and up to 68% recycled steel without loss of quality. #plasticwaste #sustainability #recycledmaterials #recyclablepackaging #sustainability #sustainablepackaging #packagingsolutions #metalrecycling #metalrecyclesforever
