Advancing sustainable packaging through optimised Industrial Equipment
EM - Efficient Manufacturing|Efficient Manufacturing - Dec 2023 Issue
Industrial equipment is at the forefront of enabling eco-friendly packaging in the ever-evolving landscape of sustainability. This article explores the essential role played by advanced industrial equipment in achieving sustainable packaging solutions, from precision printing and efficient forming to recycling and energy-saving practices.
Advancing sustainable packaging through optimised Industrial Equipment

In the world of sustainable packaging, material selection is of paramount importance. Cutting-edge industrial equipment for material procurement, processing and conversion plays a pivotal role. For instance, advanced extrusion equipment enables the production of thinner yet robust films, reducing material consumption while maintaining product integrity. In recent years, the industry has embraced innovative materials such as biodegradable polymers, recyclable plastics and compostable packaging. These choices are influenced by the capabilities of industrial equipment to process them efficiently. Precise control of material thickness, a practice known as lightweighting, is becoming more prevalent thanks to state-of-the-art machinery.

Printing and coating equipment

Visual appeal is a key factor in packaging, and advanced industrial printing and coating equipment are essential in achieving it. These machines ensure precision, minimise ink wastage and enhance print quality. Furthermore, the use of UV-curable inks and coatings provides a more sustainable alternative, emitting fewer Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and requiring less energy for curing.

Incorporating digital printing technologies has been a substantial transformative development, allowing for shorter print runs and customisation and reducing waste associated with obsolete packaging designs. The efficiency and precision of industrial printing equipment are instrumental in adopting and scaling these digital technologies.
