How many kilos\u00a0<\/strong>of\u00a0industrial waste does a flexible packaging converter produce when performing trials of new materials in the\u00a0machines?<\/p>\n

How many meters<\/strong>\u00a0of paper packaging is wasted in paper printing companies, every time a new material is purchased?<\/p>\n

How many trials<\/strong>\u00a0does the\u00a0food producer perform,\u00a0before accepting the new, recyclable material purchased from\u00a0each supplier?<\/p>\n

The answer to all questions is “TOO MANY”.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The aforementioned waste can be significantly reduced. According to Pack-Lab’s internal study,\u00a0almost 78 % of this waste is produced due to easily measureable\u00a0technical charachteristics of each material.\u00a0<\/strong>

\n<\/strong>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Low bond strength of a laminate, higher coefficient of friction than necessary, lower seal strength of paper material than required, high humidity content on paper and many more properties may cause such issues on converting or packaging lines.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Luckily, all these properties can be easily and cost-effectively measured BEFORE the material is loaded on any machine.<\/strong>\u00a0This will eliminate frustration on production process, significantly reduce unecessary waste and actively contribute to the hottest topic nowadays “sustainability”.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pack-Lab strongly recommends<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1) Indicate\u00a0the\u00a0properties<\/u>\u00a0of crucial importance for your process.<\/p>\n

2) Look into\u00a0the relevant\u00a0testing<\/u>\u00a0<\/a>procedures required for the above properties.<\/p>\n

3) Equip your laboratory or ask from an external partner for these\u00a0tests before the materials are used.<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n
