Innovative concepts to reduce and/or optimize water and energy consumption in manufacturing. Use of AI to optimize material movement and process timing within production system. Reduction of air consumption in blowmolding. Concepts for improving mold cooling efficiency in injection molding.
Container designs to promote the biodegradation or the compostability of containers made from bio-degradable plastics. Bio-derived plastics which do not negatively impact existing recycle streams. Bio-degradable materials with barrier performance and shelf-life matching PET and/or HDPE packaging.
Designs which promote recycling and reuse of containers. Designs which improve the process for container return and refill. Concepts for the reduction of recycle stream contamination from labels, adhesives, closures, inks, colorants and additives. Container designs and concepts which promote plastic recycling. Traceability & smart identification of parts designed to be recycled.
Barrier concepts for the prevention of water, oxygen and carbon dioxide transmission. Barriers for the protection of the package or the product from environmental degradation factors (e.g. UV, radiation). Concepts to replenish or maintain the composition of the headspace within the package. Concepts are not limited to additives, coatings, closure designs or labels.
Container design concepts which allow for plastic weight reduction while maintaining thermal stability during pseudo heat set. Designs, container treatments and coatings which improve the ease of sterilization processes. Designs which improve the user experience with lightweight packaging.
In 2018 we pledged to develop all our packaging to be recyclable or reusable by 2025. Our path to this future is by helping our customers today.
