2. Industrial solutions

Packaging manufacturers have proposed a number of global solutions, whatever the material used, to reduce environmental impact.

• Reduced packaging weight

  With the aim of maintaining and even improving performance, while reducing weight, three key areas of research have been developed:

  • computer-aided design, which has resulted in better material distribution, more consistent thicknesses and fewer fracture initiators;

  • quality control, which has enabled us to raise the average production level by guaranteeing very low return rates;

  • research into new materials used either as packaging materials or as additives in varnishes, glues and inks.

As a result, the average...
