We are working to ensure that packaging is managed in an environmentally sound way by minimising the production of packaging waste and ensuring that as much as possible is recovered, recycled and reused.

materials. The initiative will pose challenges for Ireland to meet revised waste targets but I look forward to working with industry to deliver on the ambition of the related measures.

The Department of Communications, Climate Action & Environment is responsible for the implementation of the EC Directive on Packaging in Ireland via the European Union (Packaging) Regulations 2014. The purpose of the Regulations is to ensure that packaging is managed in an environmentally sound manner by minimising the production of packaging waste and ensuring that as much as possible is recovered, recycled and reused.

Discussions are ongoing in the European Union with a view to improving waste management in Member States and as a consequence, protecting, preserving and improving the quality of the environment, protecting human health, ensuring prudent and rational utilisation of natural resources and promoting a more circular economy.

Packaging and the Circular Economy The European Commission has adopted an ambitious Circular Economy Package, which includes revised legislative proposals on waste to stimulate Europe’s transition towards a circular economy, which will boost global competitiveness, foster sustainable economic growth and generate new jobs.

The Package consists of an EU Action Plan for the Circular Economy that establishes a concrete and ambitious programme of action, with measures from production and consumption to waste management and the market for secondary raw

Proposals to Amend the EU Directive on Packaging and Packaging Waste

The targets in the Packaging Directive for the recovery and recycling of packaging and packaging waste are likely to be amended to reflect preparing for reuse and recycling of packaging waste in order to better reflect the Union’s ambition to move towards a circular economy.

I know that, as always, the Irish Packaging & Print Yearbook and Directory will be a much sought after reference guide in the packaging sector and I wish all subscribers/readers success in the future.

Packaging Technology

Leaders of the Pack?

David Little, Chair of the Irish Packaging Society, explains how expertise in packaging technology can save you time and money and drive efficiencies in your business.

A

re you a medium to large user of packaging? Are you spending many thousands of euros a year on packaging? Do you have a Packaging Technology Department or do you have an in-house trained specialist in packaging? If not, I argue you really should have one, or at least a resource to turn to.

If you’re in the FMCG food & beverage, medical device or pharma sectors, not to mention horticulture, hardware, pet care or other industrial sectors, chances are a lot of packaging is being used to contain, pro-

mote and transport your products. Not to mention the other ‘small’ matters of legally required information, brand recognition, protection etc.

I don’t think print and packaging gets the respect it deserves and as a result, things are often not planned properly and forgotten about until the last minute: “Did anyone order the boxes for the new product…?”

The same focus, feasibility assessment and planning that goes into the availability of the production equipment for a new product or the bill of materials or the mar-

ket analysis, should go into the planning for pack change, specification development and procurement RFQ’s for the supply of new packaging.

Comparing Supplier Specifications I believe it is a tall order to expect someone in procurement or supply chain, not to mention the guy in the stores, with no special packaging training, to become expert enough to argue or compare supplier specifications.

Or how about to negotiate technically the benefits of one lacquer over another, or to understand the necessity of corona treatment or the benefits of specifying a certain UV inhibitor or coefficient of friction?

At the beginning, they will certainly be over-reliant on the reps from the various suppliers, probably too dependent on personality or helpfulness, rather than on performance and technical detail. They may also make buying decisions based on price, not thinking nor appreciating the impact on performance, nor the difference in one spec over another. Of course, they will eventually pick-up good knowledge in their narrow field of involvement. I ask, though, at what cost? I hear you say, “Ah yes, but to err is human”, I say, “yes, it is,…. but it is usually a very expensive lesson and a time consuming one, with packaging lead-times….”

Speaking of lead-times, are all your new product launches smooth sailing and on-time? Why does it take so long? Well let’s look at the stages to the right as to what’s involved…

How many amendment loops are involved in approving your new artwork?

Does the final print match your proof, or was it a bit of a surprise or even a disappointment? Does your brand colour on one substrate match the colour on another substrate? What does L*a*b* mean anyway (GPS for colour)? Does one supplier always seem to cause more trouble than another, with poor packaging or delivery performance or say, colour consistency?

What’s your pack change or trial process for developing new packs or testing new specifications? How do you analyse or follow up on the outcomes?

Opportunities to Save Money I believe, in most small and medium size companies (and some big ones as well), there are opportunities to save money on packaging, to buy better, to drive efficiencies with your suppliers; to standardise specs, labelling or palletisation or even, for instance, to utilise warehousing better.

If you do not specify sufficiently and manage your suppliers, they will slowly evolve the spec, to supply what suits them best; their optimum core size or material spec or pallet size, etc. It’s only natural, but this just works for them and causes your company inefficiencies. You need to

proactively manage your suppliers, audit them, access their weaknesses, give them a chance to improve, decide to grow with them (or not) and keep a process driven approach to packaging change and the supply process.

See figure below, PDCA a process driven approach.

I hear you ask, “What’s one to do? How can I remedy the situation and get serious about print & packaging?”

The Importance of Training I believe in essence, it is all about training.

PDCA: a process driven approach.

Packaging Technology

However, you can get there a few ways.

You can advertise and hire a qualified Packaging Technologist. You could promote or hire a good interested person, willing to be trained and arrange in-house short courses for them or send them on the excellent DIT accredited Level 7- CPD Diploma in Packaging Technology. This is a one year program, designed to create a Packaging Technologist, where they cover the fundamentals, legal requirements, substrate manufacturing, printing processes and converting techniques for all packaging types, to name but a few of the modules.

See Design, Print & Packaging Skillnet, http://dppskillnet.ie/index.php/training/ diploma-in-packaging-technology/ The other thing you could do is to bring in expertise; a packaging consultant. Get all the benefits and experience you need, but none of the long-term commitment, no additional costs of employing a full time person. This can work well for short projects or problem solving, training, auditing suppliers or press passes or even to evaluate your position, in advance of a decision to hire someone full time.

Either way, if the volume is there, a trained packaging specialist will be a boon to your business. Having an experienced and competent technologist running pack change projects, coordinating NPD, setting up specs, briefing repro and printers and supporting marketing, procurement, supply chain and production departments, will definitely save time, money and drive efficiencies…..QED.

David Little is a Print and Packaging Technologist with over 30 years’ experience in the print/packaging sector, with experience across most substrates. These include flexible film laminates, cartonboard, labels, corrugated and rigid plastics, as well as in the pre-press / repro and printing machinery sectors. He has extensive print experience across all processes and is very involved in supplier audits, QC problem solving, brand colour control, press passes and packaging training (bespoke short courses).

Cartonboard

Sustainability S in Packaging and the Circular Economy A new study commissioned by Pro Carton reveals the importance of sustainability in packaging, with a resounding 96% of major brand owners and retailers across Europe admitting that the use of sustainable packaging was important to their business.

I Have Nuts‘, an organic and balanced mix for athletes, packed into two separate compartments with pre- and post-workout blends, was the winning product in the Young Designers Award at the Pro Carton ECMA Awards.

ustainability is a topic on everybody’s lips at the moment.

The adverse publicity regarding plastic packaging polluting the oceans has heightened awareness of the sustainability and recycling issues amongst the general public, as well as politicians and packaging specifiers.

Similarly, the relatively new term ‘Circular Economy’ is being used more widely, even if the concept is not yet fully understood by everyone, to encourage a move towards a society that creates less, or even no, waste and uses materials that can be regenerated.

A new independent study from Smithers Pira, commissioned by Pro Carton, amongst major brand owners and retailers across Europe has shown resounding evidence of the importance of sustainability in packaging. Folding cartons were perceived as the most sustainable packagingw but the report revealed that there is still some confusion about what makes packaging sustainable.

“It is interesting to see how the environmental benefits of cartonboard packaging have been perceived by our target audiences and I am delighted to note that our strengths of renewability and recyclability are now well appreciated,” explains Tony Hitchin, General Manager of Pro Carton.

The research was aimed at investigating views and attitudes amongst major European brand owners and retailers on sustainability in packaging and its importance to the retail business. The main fieldwork for this project consisted of a series of 100 in-depth telephone interviews with leading decision makers.

96% of respondents said that the use of sustainable packaging was important to their business, with just over half (52%) saying this was either ‘very important’ or ‘critical’.

The top criteria for packaging to be considered ‘sustainable’ were that: (i) It is a recyclable material: 29.2% felt

this was the most important criteria; (ii) It uses renewable & abundant materials (19.6%);

(iii) It uses minimal lightweight

materials (15.5%); (iv) It has a low environmental footprint (8.2%); (v) It is biodegradable or compostable (5.1%).

Leading Recycling Rates

Tony Hitchin, General Manager of Pro Carton.

Renewable Vs Sustainable It is clear, however, that not everyone has the same level of understanding as to what makes packaging sustainable. Recycling is rated to be more important than using renewable material but you can’t have truly sustainable packaging unless it comes from a renewable source, Hitchin argues. Clearly, paper based packaging is renewable and recyclable and is one of the best examples of a packaging material that fulfils the requirements of a circular economy.

Almost all the respondents felt sustainable packaging was important to their business. However, it was interesting to see that a lot of emphasis is put on reducing packaging weight. This, of course, makes good sense, especially when talking about a non-sustainable packaging material but there are times when a sustainable material could be used instead. Trying to use less of a non-sustainable is still a bad choice for the environment if an alternative sustainable material could be used instead, according to Pro Carton.

“Cartons really are an example of ‘cradle to cradle’ packaging. You can never say that about crude oil based packaging,” argued Hitchin. “If packaging specifiers are serious about wanting to have more sustainable packaging, then they need to start by using a sustainable material whenever possible. It would be a good to think that cartonboard will, therefore, always be brand owners’ first choice as a packaging medium.”

You can find a summary of the study

Whilst carton makers are inherently fortunate in having a renewable resource as their raw material, they are also leading the way in terms of recycling levels, outperforming virtually all other forms of packaging. Of course, consumers are well aware that cartons can be recycled several times over. What they may not be aware of are some of the impressive manufacturing statistics that the industry has recently released.

At European board mills, typically 96% of electricity is produced on site using the energy efficient combined heat and power method. The installation of bio-mass boilers, which use waste material from the pulping process, has increased the industry’s use of bioenergy to 56%, making the pulp and paper industry the largest producer of bio-energy in Europe.

As an industry based on the renewable resource of the forest, cartonboard has a unique advantage as a packaging material. It can claim that the raw material derived from sustainably managed forests captures and stores carbon; that cartons in use continue to store carbon; and that recycling cartons keeps the carbon locked up and prevents it from returning to the atmosphere.

practices sustainable forest management as it ensures a growing forest in Europe.

Sustainable forestry is conducted according to clear guidelines, which means that the raw material can be utilised, while still nurturing the forest’s biodiversity.

Latest figures from CEPI (Confederation of European Paper Industries) show that European forests are actually growing by an average of 1,500 football pitches a day!

Water is fundamental to paper and board making but 92% of water used in board production is returned to the environment and, due to the use of efficient waste water treatment, it’s cleaner when it goes back than when it came in.

Tony Hitchin concluded: “We all know that cartons are one of the most sustainable forms of packaging but we need to spread the message even wider, to make people act differently, and this includes brand owners, so that they actively disfavour materials that are less sustainable.

We also still need to clarify some misconceptions. Sustainability is much more than just recycling or lightweighting. Sustainabilty must consider the whole environmental impact that a product has from source to the end of life, as well as social and economic factors. In this way, I hope that packaging specifiers and legislators will positively discriminate in favour of materials that abide by the principle of the circular economy and against materials that harm our world.”

Cartonboard

cartonboard packaging once again demonstrated lots of innovation and creative thinking. The 2016 winners were announced at a spectacular Gala event at The Casino in Cannes, known of course for its annual film festival and awards.

The Carton of the Year went to My. Von Erl, an e-cigarette pack, produced by AR Packaging Group on material provided by A&R Carton Graz. The jury commented: “The carton looks like a refined, premium pack with lovely embossing, hot foil and varnishes. However, it is not until you open it that the My. Von Erl pack really creates that ‘wow’ moment. Without the use of any other material other than cartonboard, the pack holds together, and presents beautifully, all of the elements and extras needed for this eCigarette product. The carton engineering is truly impressive.”

Packaging Stars of the Future The stars of the future made the Pro Carton Young Designers Award the most successful running of the students Award ever. The highlight was public voting for the first time, with over 13,000 votes being cast. The quality of all entries, coming from 11 countries, was highly professional and creative. Due to this unprecedented popularity, this Award will now take place every year rather than every two years, as in the past.

and balanced mix for athletes, packed into two separate compartments with pre- and post-workout blends. The judges felt that “it was a very attractive pack, structurally and graphically. But coupled to that is the marketing concept of nutrition for athletes, where balanced nutrition is provided in each half the pack to be consumed pre and post activity.” The nutritrion mix helps to sustain consumers throughout and after their work-out.

Clearly, sustainability is about more than

just the packaging!

The issue of sustainability is here to stay. Whilst the packaging industry, as a whole, is taking a positive and responsible attitude to sustainability, could more be done, more quickly and should some of the current thinking and behaviour be changed? Tony Hitchin believes so: “To achieve sustainable packaging you simply have to start with a sustainable material.

Otherwise it’s just not sustainable.”

Aluminium Foil

ALUFOIL: AT THE HEART OF THE PACKAGING INDUSTRY Cédric Rauhaus, Communications Manager of the European Aluminium Foil Association (EAFA), reports on the latest trends and innovations in aluminium foil and closures.

A

strong performance from European aluminium foil rollers in the last half of 2016 lifted deliveries above pre-economic crisis levels for the first time in a decade and to an all-time high. Domestic

deliveries showed a marked improvement over the previous year and exports performed better than expected.

Thinner gauges remained stable, showing a slight improvement, while thicker gauges saw an increase in demand.

Throughout the year, the industry vigorously promoted the benefits of alufoil products in terms of sustainability, performance and recyclability. Of particular note was a ‘feast in foil’ in Brussels, aluminium closure recycling reaching new levels, and the Alufoil Trophy, which continues to show just how innovative and creative the aluminium foil sector can be.

All smiles at ALUNCH

Top: Diners at ALUNCH, enjoying a ‘feast in foil’, at the prestigious Grapevine restaurant, near the European Parliament in Brussels. Right: Over 2,300 closures were collected during the ALUNCH event in Brussels.

2016 saw the successful launch of an initiative organised EAFA to demonstrate the value of aluminium closures and indeed the entire aluminium range in an interesting and amusing way. Every Thursday throughout April and May, the many international young men and women living, working and studying in Brussels, the heart of Europe, were

To ‘pay’ for their meals, the lunchers simply needed to bring along some aluminium bottle closures, which enabled them to feast on a variety of delicious food, all served in aluminium foil or containers, of course! Throughout the event, all the closures were collected in a large transparent tube and then sent for recycling; showing the value of aluminium closures does not stop when the bottle is empty.

than 50%. Much of this improvement is due to national initiatives and better collection and recycling schemes across Europe. Aluminium closures, mainly used on bottles of wine, spirits, water and olive oil, can be collected either with the mixed packaging fraction or together with the glass collection stream. Thanks to modern processes the aluminium is easily extracted and recycled, from both material streams.

Alufoil Trophy 2017

Every Second Aluminium Closure in Europe is Now Recycled

A strong set of entries for the Alufoil Trophy 2017, the sector’s leading awards competition, showed once again the strength of product development programs and creative thinking in the aluminium foil industry. There were nine winners across five specific categories, plus a Trophy given for Innovation in Application for the first time.

In October, it was announced that the average recycling rate for aluminium closures in Europe increased to more

The winners of the 2017 Alufoil Trophy, by category, are:

Guido Schmitz, Director of Packaging Design in Consumer Health, Bayer.

Consumer Health, Bayer, itself a previous winner of a Trophy for its Shamrock aspirin pack. He was full of praise for both the standard and ingenuity of entries.

“We can only recognise the very best of the products entered and the judging proved very close in several categories,” he said. “We were impressed with packs which showed real technical advances to create better sustainability, improved quality, more convenient or flexible solutions. Particularly, one or two winners offer the aluminium foil sector a real opportunity to jump into new market segments or enable customers to put their products in places they could not reach before. That marked them out as very special and it fully justified their award.”

Consumer Convenience An aluminium combination closure for premium oil in glass bottles, developed by closurelogic, called Olio Premium, featuring a patented HDPE pourer, impressed the judges as it greatly improves the overall consumer experience.

An integrated ‘No-Touch’ system enables hygienic opening and handling, while the flow control within the insert allows for precise pouring. The drop-cut system means both the bottle and label stay clean, as the excess liquid is captured and returned to the bottle.

Also the combination cap incorporates an anti-refill device within the HDPE system, while the aluminium element includes a tamper-evident band.

Unshredded Wrap, from Constantia Flexibles ends the frustration of chocolate lovers trying to peel off the protective layer in little bits. The ‘elastic’ coating on the foil means it comes off in one piece. The judges tried it and it works! To achieve this, Constantia Flexibles created a special ‘elastic lacquer’ which is applied on the foil (outside or inside). This enables easy unwrapping of small chocolate balls, eggs, seasonal products or even chocolate bars/tablets, as it stretches like an elastic band, so the wrapper comes off in one piece with no shredding. In addition, the new wrapping material offers improved puncture resistance.

message, agreed the Trophy judges.

The entire aluminium foil pack, created

by Constantia Flexibles for German pet food manufacturer, saturn petcare, is also printed to underline bones as one of any dogs’ favourite foods.

Printing on the container sidewall not only continues the bone shaped theme, it can prevent dents and irregularities from being visible. Other consumer friendly features include the ergonomic shape for easy opening and 100% recyclability. The lightweight empty trays are easy to stack and transport too.

The main features characterising the closure are the side embossed logo and oriented hotfoil decoration, giving a tactile experience to the consumer. The upper part of the closure features a knurled profile to increase the grip during opening. In selected markets, anti-counterfeit and anti-refill technology will be available.

a sealed aluminium container system, which offers a shelf life of up to one year and excellent barrier properties. Using this packaging system means no cold chain is required, so no freezer in the outlets or defrosting by the consumer. The cake is immediately ready to serve, as it is always at ambient temperature and so contains no artificial preservatives. There is an excellent combination of traditional recipes, modern food technology and high performance packaging.

The Happy Day semi–smoothwall container range from Contital is round, rigid, reusable and recyclable.

Resource Efficiency A semi–smoothwall container range, branded as Happy Day by makers Contital, is round, rigid, reusable and recyclable; and is made using a cold moulding process instead of the traditional turning technique. This offers resource savings on several fronts, the judges decided.

Using a new, patented manufacturing process, the containers have perfectly smooth sides and base, resulting in higher non-stick properties. This allows the manufacture of containers from lower thicknesses, without losing the rigidity and resistance. Also there is a reduction of carbon emissions. By lubricating the rolled aluminium before drawing deformation with food grade oil, there is no need for additional lubrication or later

rinsing before disposal, offering savings of water waste.

Aluminium Foil

The Frangible Formpack Blister is an aluminium foil blister pack, with several chambers, made of Amcor Flexibles’ Formpack bottom web and a lidding foil.

Called Straight‘n’Easy, the concept has big resource saving potential in both packaging and logistics, according to the judges. The film used has a multilayer design with an aluminium barrier and patented Huhtamaki Terolen film. It is characterised by excellent processing properties on conventional pouch machines and guarantees that the packaging can be torn open cleanly, easily and in a straight line.

Technical Innovation The Frangible Formpack Blister is an aluminium foil blister pack, with several chambers, made of Amcor Flexibles’ Formpack bottom web and a lidding foil.

It enables moisture sensitive, dry drugs or vaccines requiring delivery in a liquid, to be contained in the same package safely, prior to mixing and dispensing

from it. The blister was jointly developed with machine builder Rohrer - Leading Solutions. One chamber is filled with a dry powder incorporating the active ingredient (highly moisture-sensitive), the other one with a liquid. Thanks to the peelable frangible seal which opens the channel, both components are mixed by pushing on the cavities.

A range of aluminium closures, 3D Embossing for the Salute, made by Guala Closures for Salute’s range of liqueurs, can be customised with special metallised printing decoration to give a tactile effect, and allows the application of any pattern, with details much finer than mechanical embossing. It has been recognised by the trophy judges for technical excellence.

This is a standard aluminium closure which, for the first time, can be

decorated with digital printing technology and then metallised with ‘sputtering’ technology. This technique allows closures to be decorated by a thin pure metal coating in a specific colour. Different technologies are merged in one production line to achieve a completely new decoration process.

Application Innovation ‘Capsule for beer flavour dispenser’ is a clever aluminium capsule system, containing liquid flavour syrup, specially designed for a unique beer dispensing technology. The system, which allows serving multiple drink options from a single beer keg in pubs, is a joint development by ABInBev and Constantia Flexibles. The judges felt it reflected a strong all-round innovative performance. The fully recyclable capsule offers beer flavouring at the point of dispensing, with high barrier qualities, to avoid the scalping/ degradation of sensitive and concentrated flavours in individual syrups over the whole shelf life.

A major consideration was the piercing performance of the aluminium foil lids in the new dispensing system.

reen logistics and sustainable Supply Chain Management as concepts have been the subject of growing discourse since Toyota Motor Corporation first introduced the concept of lean production in the 1980s.

Today, all players in logistics and supply chain management have a collective responsibility for the environmental practices in their respective supply chains.

We are all aware that the logistics, Supply Chain Management and packaging industry contributes to global warming

as a result of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide released during the combustion of fossil fuels.

Sustainability is defined as using resources to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs (Brundtland Commission - World Commission on Environment and Development, 1987, p. 8) Starik and Rands (1995, p. 909) define sustainability as: “[. . .] the ability of one or more entities, either individually or collectively, to exist and flourish (either

unchanged or in evolved terms) for lengthy timeframes, in such a manner that the existence and flourishing of other collectives of entities is permitted at related levels and in related systems”.

Sustainability in engineering literature has been more encompassing, and has explicitly incorporated the social, environmental, and economic dimensions of the macro-viewpoint by defining organisational sustainability as, “a wise balance among economic development, environmental stewardship, and social equity,” (Sikdar, 2003, p. 1928).

Supply Chain Management

Green + Lean = Green Logistics and Sustainable Supply Chain Management Due to the commitment to lean production, most players in the logistics and supply chain management industry have the natural tendency to gear towards green practices.

King and Lenox (2001) describe green as “the good public spill-over of lean” and explain these positive side-effects in the efforts towards waste reduction and the cutting back of pollution.

The primary purpose of lean thinking is to maximise profits through cost reduction and as a direct result, a reduction in environmental risks and impacts, while improving ecological efficiency of organisations.

Lean thinking focuses on cost reduction and increased flexibility through continuous elimination of waste, while green

thinking on sustainable development and the reduction of ecological impact of industrial activities through elimination of resource waste and pollution.

The principle tool use in lean is value stream mapping: i.e. a deep understanding of all the processes required to bring a product to market, while in green thinking the principle tool used is life-cycle assessment: i.e. deep understanding of all the processes required to bring a product to market, considering product design, product use and end-of-life management As can be seen above, logistics and supply chain management players following lean and green are striving for sustainable Supply Chain Management as defined by (Seuring and Müller, 2008) “the management of material, information and capital flows as well as cooperation among companies along the supply chain, while taking goals from all three dimensions of sustainable development,

‘

The recycling industry must now consider how it will adapt to attain the legislation’s call for a 55% recycling rate.

‘

18

i.e., economic, environmental and social, into account which are derived from customer and stakeholder requirements.”

Seuring and Müller’s definition underscores the three-way balance among economics, environment, and society required for any human enterprise to survive and prosper indefinitely.

As stated above, green logistics and sustainable Supply Chain Management have three dimensions also known as the Triple Bottom Line or The three Ps:

• The business case (economic), Profit, • The natural case (environmental), Planet, • The societal case (social) People.

I am old enough to remember a time when we drank our water from the tap or a glass and the very idea of paying for bottled water was beyond belief. The shop assistant did the wrapping, bagging and packaging. While we might look back with rose tinted glasses, we cannot not keep our heads in the sand about the quantity of plastic bottles ending up in landfill or worse in our seas and eventually the stomach of a whale.

The Circular Economy Package adopted by the European Commission in March 2017 has put the cat among the pigeons with the European plastics re-claimers. The recycling industry must now consider how it will adapt to attain the legislation’s call for a 55% recycling rate. Currently, about 49 million metric tons of plastics are generated annually in the European Union (EU), of which just 16% is recycled.

One solution to the plastics bottle issue may well be the Ooho Edible Water Bubble, which aims to eliminate the need

for plastic bottles entirely. Rodrigo García González, Pierre Paslier, and Guillaume Couche from the Imperial College London have developed a water bubble, named “Ooho”, which is a biodegradable and natural membrane that can be fully swallowed and digested, as well as hydrating people in the same way as drinking water.

The product is made from a seaweed extract and is tasteless, although flavours can be added to it. The Ooho balls will be trialled later this year and introduced at major events such as marathons and music festivals. The material is cheaper than producing a plastic water bottle. To create the balls, a block of ice is dipped in a solution of calcium chloride and brown algae, and the membrane forms around it. A layer can be peeled off to keep the exterior clean for consumption.

While some may believe the Ooho Bubble has a long way to go before it eliminates the plastic bottle, many of the key players in the packaging industry

are currently working on one or more of the following sustainable developments/ initiatives: • Shrinking carbon footprints; • 100% bio-based PET; • Downstream supply chain players

measuring upstream suppliers; • Novel bioplastics; • Edible packaging; • Waste reduction/zero waste.

Conclusion There is no doubt that sustainability and environmental friendliness are growing in importance. Today’s consumers are increasingly very well informed on sustainability and environmental matters. The logistics, Supply Chain Management and packaging industry, through innovation and collaboration, needs to take back ownership of the word sustainability. By embracing lean and green concepts and

ı Circular Economy

Circle of Trust?

An update on the implementation of the EU’s Circular Economy Action Plan.

D

ecember 2015 saw the European Commission adopting an ambitious new Circular Economy Package to stimulate Europe’s transition towards a circular economy, the aim of which is to boost global competitiveness, foster sustainable economic growth and generate new jobs.

In a circular economy, the value of products and materials is maintained for as long as possible; waste and resource use are minimised, and resources are kept within the economy when a product has reached the end of its life, to be used again and again to create further value.

The package includes legislative proposals on waste, with long-term targets to reduce landfilling and increase recycling and reuse. In order to close the loop of product lifecycles, it also included an Action Plan to support the circular economy in each step of the value chain – from production to consumption, repair and manufacturing, waste management and secondary raw materials that are fed back into the economy.

IRISH PACKAGING & PRINT

The revised legislative proposals on waste set clear targets for reduction of waste and establish an ambitious and credible long-term path for waste management and recycling. Key elements of the revised waste proposal include: • A common EU target for recycling 65% of municipal waste by 2030; • A common EU target for recycling 75% of packaging waste by 2030; • A binding landfill target to reduce landfill to maximum of 10% of municipal waste by 2030; • A ban on landfilling of separately collected waste; • Promotion of economic instruments to discourage landfilling ; • Simplified and improved definitions and harmonised calculation methods for recycling rates throughout the EU; • Concrete measures to promote re-use and stimulate industrial symbiosis - turning one industry’s by-product into

another industry’s raw material; • Economic incentives for producers to put greener products on the market

and support recovery and recycling schemes (eg for packaging, batteries, electric and electronic equipments, vehicles).

Earlier this year, the Commission issued a report to the European Parliament and Council on the implementation of the Circular Economy Action Plan in 2016 and its plans for 2017.

The Commission argued that there is a strong business case behind the plan, which enables companies to make substantial economic gains and become more competitive. It delivers important energy savings and environmental benefits.

It creates local jobs and opportunities for social integration. It is closely interlinked with key EU priorities on jobs and growth, investments, the social agenda and industrial innovation.

The wider benefits of the circular economy also include lowering energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions levels. Hence, the circular economy has strong synergies with the EU’s objectives on climate and energy and with the Commission’s recently adopted package

Circular Economy

on ‘Clean Energy for all Europeans’, while it’s also instrumental in supporting the EU’s commitments on sustainability. Delivering on the EU Action Plan for the circular economy is, therefore, a clear priority for the Commission.

Key Actions To Date Key actions have been undertaken in areas such as food waste, ecodesign, organic fertilisers, guarantees for consumer goods, and innovation and investments.

Circular economy principles have also been gradually integrated in industrial best practices, green public procurement, the use of cohesion policy funds, and through new initiatives in the construction and water sectors.

Several legislative proposals cover the issue of waste, setting clear targets for waste recycling and establishing an ambitious long-term path leading towards waste prevention and recycling. Calling for, a swift adoption this year of the legislative package on waste, which it described as “crucial to kick-start investments into more and better recycling across the EU”, the Commission urged both the European Parliament and Council to reach an agreement by the end of 2017.

Ecodesign The idea of eco-design is enshrined in the circular economy. The possibility to repair or recycle a product and reuse its components and materials depends largely on the initial design of the product. Following political discussions on ecodesign in April and October 2016, the Commission confirmed the importance of smart product design and decided to focus efforts on the product groups with the highest potential in terms of energy and resource savings and further reinforce the evidence base for regulatory action. This resulted in the adoption on November 30, 2016 of the Ecodesign Working Plan 2016-2019 as part of the Clean Energy for All Europeans package.

While ecodesign measures have so far mainly focused on energy efficiency, in this working plan, the Commission undertook to also explore more systematically the possibility to establish product requirements relevant for the circular economy such as durability, reparability, upgradeability, design for disassembly, information, and ease of reuse and recycling. This will be undertaken both for new product groups and for reviews of existing product-specific measures, and will bring benefits throughout the value chain.

Generic Standards Immediately after it adopted the Circular Economy Action Plan, the Commission also asked the European standardisation organisations to develop generic standards on the durability, reusability and recyclability of certain products. Many consumer and industrial products could be made more durable, reusable and recyclable if appropriate metrics and standards were in place.

The three European standardisation organisations have accepted the Commission’s request and have submitted a joint working plan. They have also set up a joint working group that will be developing around 20 generic standards. This will make it easier to decide which compulsory requirements should be developed to increasing the resource efficiency of products and to reduce waste.

Food Waste Food waste is a key area in the circular economy and should be addressed at many levels along the value chain. The Commission has delivered on a number of actions supporting the fight against food waste and the achievement of the related Sustainable Development Goal in this area.

It launched a stakeholder’s platform on food waste prevention, made progress in developing an EU methodology to measure food waste, and prepared EU guidelines to facilitate food donations and the use former foodstuff as feed.

21

The Commission is also adopting a Communication on waste-to-energy processes and their role in the circular economy. The primary objective of the communication is to ensure that the recovery of energy from waste in the EU supports the objectives of the circular economy action plan and is firmly guided by the EU waste hierarchy.

The communication also examines the role of waste-to-energy processes.

Making The Business Case The EU also launched a platform bringing together the Commission, the European Investment Bank (EIB), financial market participants and businesses to increase awareness of the circular economy business logic and improve the uptake of circular economy projects by investors.

While the business case for the circular economy is clear, this message still has to reach a good part of businesses in the EU and of the financial and banking sector.

The platform will have a three-pillar structure: coordination and awareness raising, which will share best practices amongst potential project promoters and other stakeholders. It will analyse the characteristics of circular economy projects and their particular financing needs, advice on improving their bankability, as well as coordinate activities regarding financing of the circular economy; the advisory pillar will be used to develop circular economy projects and to improve their bankability prospects;

IRISH PACKAGING & PRINT

22

ı

Circular Economy

the financing pillar will explore whether a dedicated financing instrument for circular economy projects is needed.

Other initiatives delivered in 2016 In addition to the key initiatives listed above, a number of other important actions by the Commission have helped to mainstream the circular economy into the full lifecycle of products, with tools such as best practices, procurement, information to consumers, guidance, funding and support schemes. These tools are essential to ensure that the circular economy is taken up by all relevant actors in the economy and gradually becomes the standard practice.

Key initiatives for 2017 The 2017 Commission Work Programme continues apace, with some proposals hugely relevant to the packaging sector, including a Plastic Strategy to improve the economics, quality and uptake of plastic recycling and reuse, to reduce plastic leakage in the environment and to decouple plastics production from fossil fuels.

The Commission will also put forward a detailed analysis of the legal, technical or practical problems at the interface of chemical, product and waste legislation that may hinder the transition of recycled materials into the productive economy. In particular, they will consider options to improve information about substances of concern IRISH PACKAGING & PRINT

in products and waste, and options to facilitate the management of substances of concern found in recycled materials. The objective is not only to promote non-toxic material cycles, but also to enhance the uptake of secondary raw materials.

The monitoring framework assessing the progress of the circular economy in the EU and its Member States will also be presented in 2017, while the implementation

of the Ecodesign working plan will have an increased focus on circular economy and resource efficiency beyond energy efficiency.

“In the coming years,” concluded the EU document, “it will be essential to keep the momentum created by the adoption of the circular economy package and by actions at all levels, to make the circular economy a reality with benefits for all Europeans.”

The Circular Economy and SMEs

On November 8, 2016, under Horizon 2020, the Commission published a call to establish a one-stop shop access for SMEs to access technology services and/or facilities in the field of advanced manufacturing for clean production.

Despite Europe’s good patenting and trade performance, the uptake of advanced manufacturing solutions by European companies remains a challenge. Many SMEs lack the resources or competence to integrate innovative advanced manufacturing technologies related to clean production.

The aim of the call is to provide access to this one-stop shop to a critical mass of manufacturing SMEs, over a period of three years, to enable them to integrate innovative advanced manufacturing technologies into their production process and make informed decision for further investment.

Traditionally, the Commission has

supported SMEs in their transition to the circular economy through the continued implementation of the Green Action Plan for SMEs. EU funds have also supported thousands of SMEs in the past decades, boosting resource efficiency, energy efficiency and innovation in manufacturing and production. This support to SMEs continues from the cohesion policy funds in the 2014-2020 period.

A European Resource Efficiency Excellence Centre for SMEs started operating in January 2017, including a self-assessment tool and providing networking opportunities and support activities to SMEs and their support organisations. A pilot project financed by the European Parliament and executed by the Commission, which started in February, will provide practical capacity building to SMEs in the area of circular economy and eco-innovation.

Limerick Packaging

Greater Than the Sum of its Parts Like the corrugated board and boxes it produces, Limerick Packaging is far stronger than the sum of its parts and is primed for further growth.

W

ith what packaging product can you take 230g of material, make a board and a box out of it that can hold, protect, inform, store and safely ship a product around the world and will resist a load of 500kg? That can only be corrugated board and corrugated boxes. It is the classic case of the whole being much stronger than the sum of its parts.

In much the same way, Limerick Packaging and its staff display these characteristics by outshining its competition from the viewpoint of package design, competitive pricing, quality to the very highest standards and all delivered, “on time everytime”.

How else could a small company grow and prosper during its 15-year history but by everybody within the organisation being customer focused, according to Sales Director, Mike Boland. “It is central to everything we do that our customer comes

first,” Mike insists, “and nothing is allowed to divert us from our goal of delivering ‘on time everytime’.”

Limerick Packaging’s impressive product range includes the following:

• Corrugated Boxes (RSC, Die-Cut, Sheets, Pads, Divs. Etc.);

• Litho Printed Cartons and Litho- Laminated Outers; • Shelf-Ready/Retail-Ready Packs;

• High Quality Post Printed Corrugated Boxes; • Solid Board Leak-Proof Bases and Lids; • Industrial Polyethylene Bags, Sleeves

and Sheets; • Labels; • Protective Foams (EPE,EPU, EPS, EPP); • Foam/Corrugated Composite Packs; • Bubble-Wrap, Rolls and Bubble Bags; • Pallet Edgeguards; • Packaging Assembly Machinery;

• Pallet Wrap/Strapping/Strapping Accessories/Tapes; • POS/POP Stands, Bins and Signage

IRISH PACKAGING & PRINT

Shelf Ready/Retail Ready Packaging “Our company now boasts a large array of products, but the one we are most proud of is our speciality in Shelf Ready/Retail Ready packaging, which we can provide in standard flexo print, high quality postprint flexo or litho printed and laminated,” explains Mike.

The Five ‘Easies’ According to Mike, to be successful in the supply of Retail-Ready/Shelf-Ready packs, you must understand the five E’s of Retail-Ready packaging, also known as the five easies.

Easy to Identify This is particularly important for goods arriving at the store in bulk. Although retailers receive a whole range of products in bulk, their staff must be able to find the products quickly and not waste time searching in the back of the store. This also reduces the risk of placement errors in storage. To achieve this, a Retail-Ready pack must have information printed on the outside, such as the brand, product name,

Limerick Packaging ı 25

barcode and other information. Pictures of the products printed on the packaging are also very helpful.

Easy to Open In order to make shelf replenishment easy and fast for retail staff, the packaging must be easy to open. Clear graphic instructions are necessary and the actual opening should be efficient. The pack must be designed in such a way that knives are not required to open it.

Easy to Replenish This condition is closely related to ‘Easy to Open’ and again applies to putting products on the shelf. It implies that, once opened, the Retail-Ready pack should still be transportable and not lose its structural integrity. More importantly for retailers, the secondary packaging should be stackable and make the most use of precious shelf space.

Easy to Shop ‘Easy to Shop’ takes the focus away from retailers and concerns the shopper. This implies that shoppers must be able to quickly find the product they seek from the branding printed on the Retail-Ready packs. This is a critical requirement. In addition, once they have found what they want, shoppers should be able to remove it from the shelf without difficulty. The inside should be white, as shoppers don’t like placing their hand into a dark area, particularly when the Retail-Ready pack is close to empty. Once empty, a window on the back should allow the shopper to see the full Retail-Ready pack behind.

Impressive Growth Limerick Packaging has experienced considerable growth in Shelf Ready/Retail Ready packs and also in Litho-Laminated Corrugated packs due to their ability to follow market trends, their ability to design effective solutions for their customers at very competitive prices and their ability to assist their customers to get products innovatively packed to market in a timely fashion.

Walking through their factory, you cannot help but notice the purposeful approach each member of staff has in everything they do. You also notice a steely determination in everyone to get everything right so that the company can succeed and prosper. But the one thing that stands out above all is the focus on each customer’s needs, made obvious by the ultra large screens throughout the factory, tracking every order’s progress, outlining the requirements for the next

day’s deliveries and even breaking these out by county to optimise transport.

Meeting and Exceeding Customer Needs Limerick Packaging operates its own delivery fleet, as this provides the flexibility necessary to meet all customer needs on a daily basis, as Mike explains: “We are certified to ISO9001:2008 and we operate to ISO14001 and BRC/IOP.” But the company is not content to rest on its considerable laurels: far from it. “We are never happy and we are always striving to improve our performance and to create the ultimate customer experience. We are close but we are not there yet”, Mike reveals, “and when we reach our goal, we will push on and once again set new standards for customer service. In this past year, we have achieved FSC certification”, he said “and we won’t stop there, with OHSAS 18001 now in our sights.”

Easy to Recycle Recycling of packaging should take a minimal amount of time and storage space.

Ideally, retail staff should simply be able to flatten the packaging to make it easy to transport for recycling. Recycling is an area where the corrugated industry excels, due to its vast integrated recycling collection network.

Overall, carefully designed corrugated packaging can satisfy all these conditions: it is easily printed on; incredibly strong but easy to open; easily compacted; and easily recycled. Not many other forms of packaging can satisfy the five easies like corrugated, and that’s why it is a material of choice for retailers and suppliers to those retailers.

Repak

R

epak is a for purpose packaging compliance scheme, which ensures its 2,111 members comply with EU packaging waste legislation and has done since it was established 20 years ago. So, if your business has a turnover of greater than €1 million and places 10 tonnes or more of packaging on the Irish market, then Repak can help you with your packaging compliance obligation.

Since the formation of Repak, Ireland has grown packaging recycling from around 15% at that time to 70% today.

The benefits of joining Repak are many and include:

• Full legal compliance for packaging placed on the market; • A cost effective solution as an

alternative to self-compliance; • One of the lowest cost compliance schemes in Europe; • Full reporting to the Local Authorities and the Environmental Protection Agency; • No requirements to display that you take back packaging or to have an onsite recycling facility for that packaging; • No bi-annual public notification on national newspapers; • No quarterly and annual reporting to the local authorities; • License to use the international Green Dot symbol; • Access to Repak’s dedicated

membership team, who are there to help you with all aspects of your Repak membership.

Repak: Helping Industry to Optimise Packaging Systems Repak’s ‘Prevent and Save’ packaging optimisation service assists members on any aspect of sustainable packaging design and examines ways to optimise existing packaging systems.

The Role of Packaging Packaging plays an essential role in containing, preserving and protecting the products we take for granted on a daily basis. Along with these critical functions, packaging also provides the consumer with information about the products they buy and is the primary tool used to enhance a product’s sales appeal.

Today, many companies are looking for a competitive advantage by reducing their overall cost base. One approach to this is to reduce the costs associated with packaging, especially reducing the amount of packaging a company places on the market.

Repak’s ‘Prevent and Save’ Programme Repak is here to help and encourages members to prevent packaging waste through its ‘Prevent and Save’ packaging optimisation programme. Their dedicated packaging technology team can assist your business on any aspect of sustainable packaging design and will help you look

at ways to optimise existing packaging systems. This can save on both material and money for your business. It is also free of charge to Repak members.

Waste prevention methods help create less packaging waste in the first place.

These methods include prevention (removal or avoidance of certain packaging) and minimisation (light weighting of packaging). This ‘stop waste before it happens’ strategy is an integral part of how industry now approaches packaging decisions, avoiding over packaged, disposable, and non-reusable or non-recyclable products where possible.

Getting the Balance Right There are already economic incentives to reduce excess packaging. Businesses are constantly looking to reduce their product costs while Repak’s ‘pay by weight’ fee structure is designed to discourage companies from producing excess packaging.

However, less packaging is not necessarily more environmentally friendly.

Repak

ı 27

Products need to be protected at various stages of the production supply chain, particularly during storage and shipping.

The shelf life of perishable products is also highly important, as many products have a limited shelf life. If poor packaging results in a product becoming unusable, the overall impact on the environment can be much more negative.

The challenge now facing business is to achieve a balance between reducing the volume of packaging used, while still serving customers’ needs with a quality product and packaging that drives sales through shelf appeal.

Free Packaging Optimisation Survey at Your Premises By analysing all types of packaging, both into and out of a company, and by examining product (primary), grouped (secondary) and transport (tertiary) packaging, Repak’s packaging team can find ways of optimising packaging systems as a whole, so that your business can achieve the best use of available resources. This in turn helps to reduce the overall amount of packaging you place on the Irish market.

ı Packaging DESIGN

Packaging has always played a key role in the marketing mix.

Indeed, it is often packaging that proves the ultimate marketing tool at the point of purchase, helping to differentiate your brand from its rivals on the shelf.

PACKAGING IN THE MARKETING MIX

IRISH PACKAGING & PRINT

W

hen it comes to marketing, people often talk of the five ‘P’s: product, price, promotion, place and packaging. The latter, while sometimes neglected by brand owners or treated as an afterthought, can be the front line in the battle for shoppers’ attention in the critical in-store battleground, where up to 70% of purchase decisions are still made.

If a product isn’t packaged properly, all the investment that went into its creation could be wasted as it isn’t achieving the necessary cut-through to its end users.

The best brands understand that packaging isn’t just about keeping a product safe or fresh, but is an integral part of the marketing mix. Your packaging is like your calling card or signature and it can play a crucial role in attracting and retaining customers.

A Blank Canvas Indeed, the wealth of packaging materials available to brands today, from cartonboard to aluminium or plastic, are effectively a blank canvas for creative teams to work their magic, turning the packaging into a miniature billboard that can attract shoppers at the crucial point of purchase.

Good packaging shows off your product in the best light and communicates your product’s benefits to shoppers and consumers. It’s often the first thing they see and it has to be able to catch their attention in milliseconds. Packaging effectively incorporates all other elements of a brand’s sales and marketing strategies and helps to tell the brand’s story.

When packaging is effective, it can communicate: • Your brand story, your values and your promise to consumers; • Your brand’s personality, its primary attributes, from reliability to luxury, pleasure, security etc; • How your product is superior to competing brands.

Attracting Those Who Don’t Want to be Attracted Today’s shopper is smart, savvy and tech-friendly, so getting their attention isn’t always easy, especially when combined with the plethora of other brands competing for their attention, where there are often thousands of marketing stimuli in-store.

Packaging can help to reach consumers who are no longer swayed by traditional advertising and sales practices: the right packaging can help to communicate brand

values, missions and quality.

Packaging should always be designed and created as an integral part of a consumer and shopper marketing mix as it will be the focal point for use in your advertising communications in the future.

Packaging must stand out in-store to give your branded product that on-shelf visibility it deserves to have, whilst packaging also has a major role to play in developing a brand’s identity. But not only is the visible design of your packaging important but also the functionality of the packaging must serve a purpose, for consumer, shopper and retailer.

More and more, not only is this visible design of packaging in-store hugely important in helping to convince a shopper to purchase your brand, but also so is the functionality of the packaging, particularly when it comes to convenience products, where brand owners must ensure that the packaging makes it easier for people to both use and store the product.

The shops of today are packed with a multitude of colours, shapes, signs and messages. Shopper marketers have begun to give more focus to product packaging over recent years as it is clear that it is a crucial touchpoint in the store. A product’s packaging is one of their most important tools in creating brand awareness, standout and loyalty, as brands fight for on-shelf visibility.

Packaging has a vital role to play in achieving instant recognition in-store. New

products are launched more frequently and with the mass of private label products occupying shelf space, effective brand communication and uniqueness are essential in ensuring your brand is both

When packaging is done right, it essentially becomes the voice of your brand. It can tell your brand story, revealing how your product is better than its competitors, as well as showing how your company and your brand feels about its customers and about the environment – both crucial if you are to gain and retain customers.

Showing how your brand feels about its customers can be as simple as changing your packaging to make it resealable or introducing a ‘gusset’ to the bottom of a pouch so the package stands up easily in a press, basically anything that makes the product more convenient for the end user.

Sustainability and the environment are huge concerns, not just for business but for consumers too. Your packaging says a lot about how you feel about these issues.

Consumers want packaging that is not only recyclable but also sustainable and they’re not afraid to vote with their wallets to see these needs met.

So the bottom line is that packaging is a crucial element of your marketing mix, a silent salesman that can win you new customers and help to retain existing buyers.

container that doesn’t need a liner bag. It can be used for transporting chemicals or foodstuffs. Multitank is a replacement for barrels, IBC containers and foldable pallet boxes with liner bag.

It’s also the first reusable HDPE plastic container with 400 litres capacity, designed for storage and transport of food (HACCP) and non-food products in bulk. An innovation in the field of solid and liquid handling and storage, Multitank offers absolute safety in transporting and storage without the need of special handling Multitank has a range of benefits, including: • Pallet Feet, easily replaceable; • Watertight and airtight lid with EPDM

sealing gasket;

• Space-saving storage and transport; • UV Protection; • Safety pins holder when Multitank is empty; • Conical design for easy nesting; • Stackable (safely stacked up to three

high when full); • Pressure relief valve with O-ring gasket; • Valve 2” (optional); • 100% watertight without liner bag; • Easy filling, emptying and cleaning; • Nested Multitanks reduce storage

space up to 75%; • Possibility of sterile packaging with 400

litre aseptic bag;

• Easy to move with pallet truck or

forklift, no need of pallet; • Available in various colors; • RFID and label placeholders.

It also comes with a range of accessories: • Aseptic Bag; • Anti-elevation Nets; • Wheels; • Valves; • Chemical resistance gaskets.

This user-friendly container was designed for use in the food industry but it’s perfect for chemicals. Where previously, many solid and liquid products were packaged in plastic or metal containers, pallet boxes, cardboard boxes or foldable containers with plastic liner

bags, the cost of transport to return these packaging materials often proved prohibitive, so the suppliers, unable to receive them back, charged them in the final price of the product. Multitank removes that cost from the supply chain.

Transport Specifications and Benefits Multitank has many economic benefits when compared to barrels, drums and IBC containers. Wooden or plastic pallets are not needed because of Multitank’s integrated pallet base. Empty containers can be nested and in this way the user saves up to 75% storage space (when compared to barrels).

If the containers are stacked, there is still access to the contents of the Multitank, so the quality and integrity of the product can be quickly and easily controlled.

The existing drums and IBCs that are widely used in today’s market are not effective for re-use and the cost of return transport is very high. Multitank is a sustainable solution that eliminates the cost of packaging. There are no other packaging materials required, such as stretch film, strap belts or pallets in order to safely transport the product. The packaging and handling time for the supplier is drastically reduced and the recipient does not deal with big volume of packaging material or extra costs for disposal and recycling.

Multitank is a sustainable solution. Since it is reusable, the amount of CO2 is greatly reduced. One Multitank saves 6,000kg over

10 years of use, compared to single use plastic barrels.

Maximum Safety “Multitank is an innovative, cost efficient and space-saving packaging system,” explains Jordan Sutton, Sales, Interpac. “Three different kind of lids and its innovating way of sealing assures maximum safety and a watertight and airtight performance. The conical design makes it nestable when empty, increasing vehicle fill. Its robust construction makes Multitank stackable, saving 75% of storage space. In fact, the combination of many smart features, like the integrated plastic pallet, discharge hole, vent cap etc, makes Multitank easy and safe to handle.

“Multitank is an efficient returnable and reusable bulk container that eliminates completely the packaging cost, optimises storage space and reduces carbon foot print.”

Interpac can also provide all the machinery equipment needed for handling Multitank, designed and constructed by MultitankTech, including pallet trucks, dumpers and tippers.
