Druk SPQ przewyższa druk fleksograficzny

Najnowsze badanie LCA przeprowadzone przez firmę SÜDPACK we współpracy z firmą Sphera zgodnie z normą ISO 14040/44 nie pozostawia żadnych wątpli-wości: Firmy, które przestawią się na zrównoważoną technologię druku SPQ firmy SÜDPACK, mogą zmniejszyć emisję CO2 związaną z drukowaniem nawet o 18%. Dotyczy to zarówno materiałów opakowaniowych na bazie PP, jak i PET. Nawet w najgorszym scenariuszu dla SPQ (z wykorzystaniem grid mix), jego ślad węglowy jest nadal nawet o 11% mniejszy niż w najlepszym scenariuszu dla procesu druku fleksograficznego z wykorzystaniem zielonej energii elektrycznej.

SÜDPACK one of Germany’s best in circular economy

Institute examined these questions in detail. In a two-stage web monitoring process between 2022 and 2024, they analyzed the data from 5,500 companies in 38 industries. Now the results are in: SÜDPACK achieved the top rating in the “Packaging Manufac-turer” category. With a score of 100 points, the company sets the benchmark for all the other companies in its industry included in the study.

Floatable top webs combine with mono-APET trays

Ahead of the FACHPACK 2024, film manufacturer SÜDPACK unveiled its latest innovation: PET floatable lidding films. Used on mono-APET trays, the low-density, sealable top webs can be separated during recycling from the APET bottom webs, producing cleanly recycled materials for infeed into the differ-ent material flows. This offers a sustainable market alternative for safe pack-aging of sliced meat, ham and cheese in peelable, thermoformed and MAP packagings. The PET floatable lidding films provide equal performance and processing reliability to conventional lidding films.
