Sustainability at Siegwerk - Deinking Technology for Sustainable Packaging During the recycling process of printed packaging materials, quality is often lost along the way, leading to recyclates that are not up to the standard required to create new packaging materials. At Siegwerk we have recently unveiled our new deinking solution for UV-printed labels. The CIRKIT Clearprime UV E02, a new primer technology tailored for non-food packaging applications, offers a validated solution for the safe and economical deinking of UV-printed self-adhesive labels (PSL). This advancement enhances the recyclability of labeled plastic packaging and enables the recovery of high-quality recyclates, which are suitable for reuse in non-food packaging. By introducing CIRKIT Clearprime UV E02, Siegwerk has expanded its CIRKIT product range with an additional functional coating solution that aligns with the principles of a circular economy, thereby promoting deinking as a new industry standard to further improve the recyclability of plastic packaging. #Siegwerk #CircularEconomy #SustainablePackaging #Innovation

The KHS Group is currently at the forefront of process machinery for the packaging industry. Their commitment to innovation in the pursuit of lean manufacturing is what makes them industry leaders. This article on their new InnoPET Plasmax coating technology demonstrates not only how they are putting the end-user first (with better flavour and enhanced shelf life) but also how they are working towards increased sustainability for their manufacturing customers. With production technology like DataProphet's PRESCRIBE, machine builders who partner with us can grasp even greater levels of efficiency and thus reach new heights of sustainability. #dataprophet #industryleaders #manufacturing

As we wrap up the AMI Rigid Packaging Forum, we're so happy to have connected with our customers, partners, and friends. Over the past two days, we delved deep into the world of rigid packaging, broadened our perspectives, and enriched our knowledge. On the second day, presentations largely focused on new, more “sustainable” materials. However, we believe conventional plastics will remain integral to our industry for a long time. What do you think about these new sustainable materials? What’s the future of our plastic molding industry? Feel free to share your thoughts below! #RigidPackagingForum #Innovation #Sustainability #Technology #IndustryInsights

We need #collaboration to revolutionize #recycling 🤝 What was once considered as non-recyclable, is recyclable now: our team of Greiner Packaging, in collaboration with Siegwerk and Krones, has successfully transformed directly printed polypropylene (PP) and polystyrene (PS) cups into high-quality white recyclates through cutting-edge recycling methods. This achievement underscores the urgent need to evolve recycling guidelines to align with technological advancements. It's a joint effort requiring action not only from leading companies but also from policymakers to establish the necessary frameworks for implementing a #circulareconomy ♻️.

Hexagonal packaging represents a game-changer in sustainability for several reasons. Firstly, the hexagonal shape allows for more efficient use of space, reducing material waste during production and transportation. The compact arrangement of hexagons minimizes gaps between packages, optimizing packing density. Moreover, hexagonal packaging is inherently stronger and more structurally stable than traditional square or rectangular packaging. This durability reduces the need for excess packaging material or reinforcements, contributing to a decrease in overall material usage. Additionally, the hexagonal design supports a more efficient and eco-friendly distribution process. It enables packages to be arranged in a honeycomb pattern, allowing for greater quantities to be shipped and stored using less space and fewer resources. In essence, the adoption of hexagonal packaging aligns with sustainability goals by promoting resource efficiency, reducing waste, and optimizing logistics. This innovation showcases how thoughtful design can positively impact both environmental and economic aspects of packaging.
