RKW’s sustainable packaging solutions
Mannheim, September 5, 2024 – RKW will be presenting its broad range of packaging solutions on this year’s FachPack, taking place from September 24 to 26 in Nuremberg, Germany. Under the motto “Conquer every packaging challenge”, RKW will highlight its sustainable packaging solutions and how they meet these challenges in hall 4, stand 4-551. The demands on packaging are high - it should not only protect the product and strengthen the brand, but also meet the highest standards in terms of efficiency, recyclability, and climate and resource protection. From high-end lamination films to Multipack shrink films, transport protection and industrial packaging solutions, RKW offers a diverse product portfolio for various industries.
Discover sustainable film solutions that do not compromise on quality and are suitable for various packaging formats.
RKW Horizon MDO-PE Films and ProTec Sealing Films – Two films, one material, unlimited possibilities
RKW’s lamination films offer sustainable, flexible packaging solutions. With RKW’s 100% MDO-PE films combined with the perfect sealing films, RKW offers a broad portfolio for the development of single-material packaging. The combination of RKW´s MDO films and e.g. LOW-SIT lamination films provide huge opportunities to produce a wide range of packaging formats. These are easier to recycle, ensure excellent product protection, and support the attractive display of the packaging at the point of sales. RKW offers for non-food packaging applications now also MDO-PE films with PCR (post-consumer recyclate) content to support our customers and brand owners in achieving their sustainability goals. MDO-PE films are a reliable replacement for PET, OPP and/or OPA films and are also available with EVOH for a reliable oxygen barrier for protection against moisture and/or aroma loss.
My Multipack & Revoloop - Engineered to close the loop
Together with DOW, RKW has developed a recyclable film “My Multipack” for the beverage industry that contains 70% PCR, 35% of which comes from household waste. Household plastic waste is more susceptible to contamination than waste from commercial or industrial sources, consists of a variety of different materials and is therefore difficult to use in demanding applications such as shrink films. Using My Multipack films reduces the CO2 footprint by up to 70%. At the same time, the film offers the usual benefits such as brilliant printing and, maximum product protection. In addition, numerous additional features such as easy opening can be added to the film.
RKW’s product range of sustainable Multipack shrink films is round up by high quality films produced with different amounts of rPE that are externally certified.
RKW ProVent® - the self venting bag
Already two decades ago, RKW introduced the sustainable alternative to traditional paper bags, RKW ProVent, for the packaging of bulk materials. RKW’s self-venting PE bags protect powdery goods from moisture and damage during transport, storage, and sale. This results in a 99% reduction in material loss, a significant sustainability factor, particularly for the construction and chemical industries as well as the food industry. Furthermore RKW ProVent is available with a PCR content of up to 80%.
Flexxta® Stretch Hood Series
The eco-friendly Flexxta® stretch hood film series includes various stretch hood types. RKW’s sustainable stretch hood films are available with a PCR content up to 30%, EVA free and Recyclass certified. The other stretch hood types are tailored to the requirements of RKW’s customers and provide either outstanding durability or puncture resistance, extreme flexibility and can also be used for packaging and transporting heat-sensitive products. Their high elasticity minimizes material usage without the need of using heat, making them cost-effective and environmentally friendly compared to heavy shrink films.
Whether consumer goods or industrial packaging, whether films, nets or nonwovens – RKW has the right solution for your individual needs. RKW’s dedicated colleagues are waiting to discuss the challenges of the future and how RKW’s solutions can help you. See you at RKW’s booth in hall 4, stand 4-551.
