New opportunities to address challenges

Sustainability

SEE’s vision is to become a world-class, digitally driven company automating sustainable packaging solutions. SEE’s strategy is focused on designing and delivering solutions that:

• Reduce customers’ environmental footprint by using data-driven approaches to innovating materials and equipment that optimise performance.

• Prevent unnecessary waste across the value chain by leveraging innovation and technology to minimise the amount of packaging materials and resources used, improve the shelf life of food, and reduce food waste.

• Enable packaging materials to be recovered in circular materials systems and increasing the use of recycled and renewable materials in SEE formulas. Packaging solutions

SEE takes a holistic approach to sustainability and provides packaging solutions that offer benefits throughout the entire lifecycle. This involves the development of high-performance packaging that aims to reduce environmental impact by:

• Using less and lighter-weight packaging materials,

• Optimising pack sizes to improve transportation efficiencies and reduce carbon emissions

• Eliminating packaging material waste and striving for zero-material waste,

• Reducing food waste and extending shelf life,

• Using recycle-ready materials.

SEE CRYOVAC® brand packaging solutions embrace this lifecycle approach to enhance sustainability, whilst also improving productivity and profitability.

A couple of examples:

CRYOVAC® brand Darfresh® Rollstock

A thermoforming vacuum skin packaging solution that offers high abuse resistance and safeseal properties for optimum pack protection to minimise food waste. Recyclability can also be improved, as bottom webs are made using a minimum of 30% recycled post-consumer PET.

CRYOVAC® brand Darfresh® on Tray

An innovative vacuum skin packaging solution, developed with G.Mondini, to provide a more efficient, high-performance alternative to traditional packaging.
