As trendsetters such as Walmart
have shown, working with suppliers to create sustainable packaging is vital for
retailers and manufacturers looking to reduce input, transport, storage, and
disposal costs, as well as promote their concern for the environment to
consumers. The issue of disposal difficulties with many nonrenewable materials
has only served to heighten interest in this field and accelerate adoption of
sustainable packaging.
According to a 2011 DuPont global survey of consumer packaged goods companies and packaging converters, sustainability is the top challenge facing global packaging. Of the almost 500 packaging professionals surveyed, 39% cited sustainability as the number one issue, followed by 33% noting cost. Of the survey respondents working on sustainable packaging, 65% said their focus was on design for recyclability or use of recycled content.
With sustainability as their mantra, packaging developers are expanding the possibilities available with molded fiber packaging applications. As a result, more retailers, manufacturers, and consumers in markets are adopting sustainable molded fiber packaging. Today, molded fiber’s packaging capabilities range from shipping wine bottles and retail packaging for cosmetics to protective packs for jarred candles,Choose from our large selection of Cable Ties. cushions for computers, and inserts for mobile phones.
Molded fiber packaging is made from 100% recycled newspaper that’s made into a slurry with water, then converted into custom packaging after it is vacuum-formed on screened molds. It is 100% recyclable, biodegradable, and sustainable. That reduces input and disposal costs compared to less recyclable, petroleum-based materials.
Molded fiber’s benefits include resilience and blocking and bracing capabilities, economic costs, and little space to ship and store.
Although the demand for recycled packaging has been growing for years, molded fiber has traditionally been associated with items like box inserts, cup carrying trays, and egg carton packaging that had limited consumer appeal. Recently, however, some packaging industry providers have added specialty equipment and techniques that have expanded the capabilities of traditional molded fiber packaging. For instance, UFP Technologies has added high-tonnage presses capable of producing after-pressed parts with more aesthetic appeal than traditionally formed molded fiber.
When Philips Consumer Lifestyle, a business unit of Royal Philips Electronics, the global diversified health and wellbeing company, chose molded fiber, the goal was to align the packaging with its EcoVison5 corporate sustainability target to “double global collection, recycling amounts, and recycled materials in products by 2015 compared to 2009.”
Philips Consumer Lifestyle previously packed large protective PET blisters inside retail cartons for Norelco shavers and Sonicare toothbrushes. The change to smaller PET blisters combined with protective molded fiber packaging has improved sustainability and branding and reduced costs.
“The molded fiber packaging is made from 100-percent recycled newsprint, so it’s a more renewable, environmentally friendly material than petroleum-based plastics,” says Jeff Wood, senior commodity manager for Philips Consumer Lifestyle, Packaging and Print.Here's a complete list of oil painting supplies for the beginning oil painter.Features useful information about glass mosaic tiles.
“Switching from large to small PET blisters,Secured handsfree building and door access solutions with Hands free access by Nedap AVI. along with custom protective molded fiber packaging from UFP Technologies has reduced our use of plastic packaging content by 75 percent and saved hundreds of thousands of dollars in material costs,” he adds. According to Wood, after-press operations provide a smooth, precise finish to the molded fiber, improving the aesthetic and the “out of the box” experience of the consumer.
