Sustainable: Product made from mono-material
The pioneering technology was first presented as a proof of concept at Fakuma 2023 and met with a great response. The product is also particularly interesting in terms of sustainability: the tube and label are both made of PP, meaning that the mono-material product can be easily recycled. Because the integrated label can contribute to the stability of the tube, its wall thickness can be reduced if necessary and plastic material can be reduced in volume production. In addition, work steps such as bonding and printing are eliminated, meaning that no adhesives are required and there is no waste due to contamination with liquid colour.
