Packaging experts discuss design for recycling of thinwall packaging

摘要

Opening the packaging experts’roundtable held at En-gel Austria's Schwertberg headquarters on 7 March,Engel CSO Dr Christoph Steger said that with the ongoing demonisation of plastics-despite everyone being confronted by the advantaged of plastics packaging-there will be huge changes in future,with the circular economy now strongly in focus.”So we have to ask ourselves: What can we do about it as a machine producer? With a strong position in the value chain,Engel has responsibility to be involved in this subject.Not defensively,which is never the right approach,but pro-active-ly,”he declared.He continued,”We believe we have to work together on common solutions with our customers,their customers and others in the value creation chain,in order create awareness and develop common solutions together to really set an example by showing unique plastics properties and how plastics,when used properly,support further development of society".A valid reason for the packaging experts’roundtable.
