Erftstadt, September 19, 2023 - The Erftstadt packaging companies tbs-pack GmbH and alpha-pack Group rely on technical innovation and are expanding their sustainable packaging portfolio. With success: their packaging films have already received an award from the environmental service provider interseroh.
No other topic has dominated the packaging industry in recent years as much as the topic of sustainability. As packaging companies, the companies tbs-pack GmbH and alpha-pack Group from Erftstadt have therefore set themselves the goal of taking responsibility.
“In our group of companies, we produce sustainable machines and materials in order to make our contribution to making the world of packaging a little bit better,” says Managing Director Thomas Stumpp.
Packaging innovations from the Rhein-Erft district to reduce plastic waste
For more than 15 years, tbs-pack GmbH has been the contact in the Rhine-Erft region when it comes to pioneering and innovative packaging solutions. In order to reduce packaging waste, the company tbs-pack relies on extra-thin, yet tear-resistant packaging films.
For example, with their eco-stretch film, which is used in logistics to secure pallets for shipping. In order to reduce the film thickness, the stretch films go through a specially developed process in which a reduction in material use of up to 50% can be achieved. Managing director Stumpp explains: “For us, less is more – especially when it comes to stretch film. By reducing the amount of film material required, we not only ensure less environmental impact. Because less material has to be used, we also achieve enormous price savings in our customers’ product packaging.”
Sustainable packaging films recognized as “very recyclable”.
In addition, tbs-pack recently launched the “Castelli Greenline”. The Greenline is a portfolio of sustainable packaging materials made from paper, renewable raw materials or recyclates that can be particularly well recycled or biodegraded.
“Thanks to their excellent recycling properties, our Castelli shrink films have already received the very recyclable award from the environmental service provider interseroh. We are very pleased about this award and the recognition of our sustainability efforts,” says marketing manager Rita Zuri.
Resource-saving packaging machines for more process optimization
But resources cannot only be saved on the material side. Using the right machine can also lead to less material usage, less energy consumption and less CO2 emissions. For this reason, the alpha-pack Group's automatic packaging machines are designed to be energy-saving, fail-safe and long-lasting. Managing director Thomas Stumpp emphasizes: “The speed, reliability and longevity of our machines not only ensure better process optimization and budget savings because fewer new purchases have to be made. Because our machines are particularly energy efficient, they also protect the environment.”
For those interested, the group offers a free sustainability check, in which the packaging solutions used to date are analyzed and then optimization suggestions are made with regard to resource consumption, the CO2 footprint and the costs of the packaging solutions.
