swop 2023: Focusing on Trends and Innovations in the Packaging Industry, “FMCG Infinity Zone” Presents Tremendous Business Opportunities

SAFE PROTECTION UNDER DIFFICULT CONDITIONS

The safe transport of hazardous goods or chemicals depends on reliable containers. But sustainability should not be overlooked. The German company Schütz produces different IBC containers which are manufactured using recycled material.

PACKAGING IN THE TIMES OF E-COMMERCE

Today, even your grocery shopping is delivered by mail. The changes to the way we live our everyday lives, brought about by the lasting e-commerce trend, also mean that packaging is not what it used to be. Even something as seemingly simple as a shipping box comes with a lot of things that need to be taken into consideration and improved.

LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENTS – A USEFUL TOOL OR GREENWASHING?

Plastic or paper, single use or reusable – which packaging gets the best marks in a life cycle assessment? The answer often appears to be simple, but an environmental assessment should always look at the individual case in detail, because there are benefits and drawbacks everywhere – and the results are sometimes surprising.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FOR COSMETICS PACKAGING

During the production of lipsticks, faults in the outer appearance can occur. To detect these, SEA Vision trusts an inspection system based on AI that is self-learning and thus continues to further improve inspections. The system was developed in cooperation with ARGO Vision.

RECYCLATES FOR PACKAGING ARE IN DEMAND LIKE NEVER BEFORE

If there is one thing the industry agrees on, it is that more recycled raw materials must be used. In the case of plastics, this means recyclates. They are in greater demand than ever, but the supply is still relatively small. What do packaging manufacturers have to pay attention to when using them, and what has to change so that more recyclates can be used?

FLEXIBLE PACKAGING FOR THE PHARMACEUTICAL SECTOR

Easy handling and exact dosing – this is the promise that flexible packaging also makes for the use of medicines. One example is the stick pack. Spanish mechanical engineering company Volpak now has a new line to process these packagings in their portfolio.

ADDED VALUE THROUGH COOPERATION

In a competitive system, cooperation might not seem the way to success. But small and medium-sized enterprises especially can profit from cooperation – even in the packaging sector. This can be seen in the example of German companies Koch Pac-Systeme and Zahoransky.

THE GREAT BAKING TREND

Home-made just tastes best! Your Grandma’s cakes aren’t the only ones that are best when they’re handmade. By the time the corona crisis happened, Grandma wasn’t the only one that was baking up a storm - in most kitchens, baking has now become a trend.
