Packaging materials, packaging means, auxiliary packaging means and packaging production

The best machines won't help if the packaging material is not suitable. A lot has happened in this area in recent years and there is no end in sight. Clear trends are evident, such as the switch from plastic to fibre-based packaging - which does not always have to be made of conventional paper. Large manufacturers are also increasingly turning to renewable raw materials such as silphia paper. New developments such as vegan spider silk give an insight into how diverse the changes are. Also a topic: the recycling of plastics. Where can recyclates be used sensibly, where can packaging materials be saved? Here, numerous manufacturers are switching to monomaterials.
