Highlights from W&H
Circular Economy – Solutions ready for recycling
Recyclable pet food bags: W&H is showing two different approaches to this recyclable packaging solution, that is trending in the market: a blown film with a co-extruded EVOH barrier layer and one made with a functional barrier coating during the printing process.
Recyclable Coffee Pouch: A stretched MDO PE-film with an EVOH barrier layer combined with PE sealing film. With a total amount of only 2% EVOH this solution exceeds the current recycling regulations, while at the same time providing the barrier properties for oxygen and water vapor required for this kind of packaging.
Circular Economy – Solutions using recyclates
PE Valve Sack: All new film recipe with 30 % post-industrial material that displays similar mechanical properties as a conventionally produced film.
DIGITIZATION
RUBY App: With the IoT system RUBY from W&H, the value chain can be digitized and the data used to monitor, automate and improve packaging production. Now it’s even easier with the new RUBY app: keep an eye on the production – no matter wherever you are.
