Every decision we make at Medsalv is for a more sustainable future - like this one. 👷♂️ Pictured is our CEO, Oliver, receiving our first set of Bearhug reusable pallet wraps, hand-delivered by Founder Tom Field, while helping set up our new Geelong facility a few weeks ago. 🌏 These wraps eliminate the need for single-use plastic, reduce costs, and promote safety - a real no-brainer! 📍 Great to source these from the visionary Australian company making reusable wraps work operationally, #forgood. 🔄 We’re now working to integrate these further into the health supply chain - the linear economy healthcare relies upon does present challenges, but Bearhug is tackling them head-on. 📈 Bearhug have just secured funding to fuel the expansion of their innovative system that addresses the reverse logistics challenges of the reusables, active already for Craft Breweries & FMCG — it's looking promising for health, too. If you’re shipping or receiving pallets, you should check them out! #GoodforPeople #GoodforPlanet #GoodforSpending #GoodforSupplychain #GoodworkTom

When you tune into plastic, it is all you can see. It is quite horrifying when we remember it doesn't degrade; it just accumulates—the chair I am sitting on, the laptop keys I am touching, and the clothes I am wearing. In fact, you and I cause the production of an average of 28kgs per year of new plastic. But it is hard to imagine it going away. Removing plastic, in many cases, means worse, more expensive products. In addition to alternative products (which are also coming online quickly), we need a way to re-mine the millions of tonnes we have already produced and not to make more from fossil fuels. That's why we are so proud of Samsara Eco - it is the undo button for plastics. At Main Sequence we are thrilled to have Temasek, Hitachi Ventures, Titanium Ventures, Wollemi Capital and lululemon join us to bring this planetary solution online quickly.

Final part of the history of Eco Pack Technologies! In the first instalments of our story, we revealed that the concept of stretch wrapping was actually developed back in the 1990's by visionary Peter Johnson, following a very frightening incident where a batch of high pressurised aerosol tins got stuck in a heat tunnel and exploded. But, despite a successful trial, issues with the system's commercial viability meant it was mothballed until the late 90's/early 00's when energy prices started to escalate and concerns around packaging waste grew. 🗑️ Fast forward a few years and Peter Johnson's company TrakRap had refined stretch wrap technology and it's machines had been adopted by a wide range of customers who were packaging yogurts, frozen ready meals, pet food, pharmaceuticals, household products, and much more. It looked like the future of TrakRap and stretch wrapping was bright. But then in 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic hit! Despite continuing production, many food manufacturers stopped installing new machinery for fear of infection. No installations meant no income for TrakRap and the company sadly went into receivership in February 2022. Happily, that's not the end of the story. 🙂 With a passion for the environment and a firm belief in the technology, TrakRap's CEO Martin Leeming was determined to take the solution forward. Alongside other members of the TrakRap team who shared the same passion, machines at existing customer sites continued to be supported, whilst Martin worked tirelessly to find new investors. Martin's hard work paid off in 2023, when TrakRap's assets were acquired by WT Johnson Ltd, and very soon after, Eco Pack Technologies was born. Later in 2023, US investment company Ault Alliance, Inc (NYSE American: AULT) stepped forward to declare their interest in the company, and the future of Eco Pack Technologies became even brighter with very significant investment. 🔆 Now in 2024, we are excited for the future of Eco Pack Technologies and our low cost, low carbon stretch wrapping solutions. Our growing team are working hard to develop our next generation machinery and we can't wait to reveal it later in the year! #history #future #stretchwrapping
