Strategic Partnership for Sustainable Packaging

摘要

Sustainable packaging, in which plastic is replaced with paper wherever possible, is not just a question of material availability. While flexible packaging paper may well be threatening to displace plastic packaging, both materials still have to share the same machines for the time being. Therefore, for machine operators, questions concerning changeover times, machine conversions, and above all process reliability in processing are therefore of primary importance. "We know just how much pressure the consumer is exerting when it comes to greater sustainability. As a supplier to the packaging industry, we have therefore entered into a strategic partnership with Syntegon, a globally leading provider of processing and packaging technology. Although people are demanding to see an instant revolution in terms of greater sustainability, this is only possible by taking an evolutionary path. To ensure that we move step by step in the right direction, Syntegon and the Koehler Paper Group are strategically combining their knowledge," said Eckard Rallies, Head of the Flexible Packaging Paper Division at Koehler.
