Weißer + Grießhaber GmbH, based in Mönchweiler, Germany, specialises in high-precision, small plastic parts manufactured in large quantities and with a high degree of automation. The family-owned company has been relying on Arburg injection moulding technology for over 50 years. In October 2022, a very special event in the decades-long, successful cooperation took place: the ceremonial handover of the company’s hundredth Allrounder.

“Arburg covers the entire technology spectrum with its precise and reliable Allrounder injection moulding machines and also offers very high service quality,” said Reinhard Fauser, Managing Director of Weißer + Grießhaber. He also cited Arburg’s innovative strength and technical advice as well as the stability and dependability of a family-owned company as additional reasons for the successful partnership spanning more than five decades.

Two-component Allrounder for gear teeth and transmission parts
Reinhard Fauser came to Lossburg to receive the milestone machine together with Tobias Trippel, Head of Equipment Construction + Industrial Engineering, Kai Hartelt, Equipment Planning and Frank Wiedmaier, Head of Purchasing.

“We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Arburg and working together to solve challenging problems in the field of injection moulding in the future,” said Reinhard Fauser as he took delivery of the electric two-component Allrounder 520 A with a clamping force of 1,500 kN and injection units in sizes 290 and 70. The machine is equipped with OPC UA interfaces, enabling it to communicate with all peripheral equipment and PDA/MDA systems. The new Allrounder will be used to produce gear teeth and transmission parts for prestigious automotive suppliers.

Over a billion parts per year
Weißer + Grießhaber is a family-owned business that was founded in 1969 – the same year that its successful cooperation with Arburg began when it purchased its first Allrounder.

The KDT turntable machine is particularly suitable for the cost-effective packaging of consumer goods in small to medium sized quantities. The standard version includes a turntable with four sealing tools and a sealing unit for thermal sealing. As a GMP-compliant turntable machine, the compact KDT “medplus” system can also be used for sensitive products in the healthcare sector. Depending on the packaging material, shape, and sealing time, the system has an output of 12 strokes/min.

 

The KS-PL sealing machine and the KBS-PL blister machine with linear pallet transport are particularly efficient at packing long runs of the same or similar products.

 

The Koch KBS model series at a glance
When you need maximum flexibility in terms of material, format, and batch size, KBS is the model series of choice. The sealing pallets of the KS-PT and the KBS-PT blister machine can be changed in no time. When switching formats, only the individual format parts need to be changed, not the complete set. The KS-PL sealing machine and the KBS-PL blister machine with linear pallet transport are particularly efficient at packing long runs of the same or similar products. In addition, the environmentally friendly cyclePac single-material packaging with 100 percent reusability can be used with the KBS-PL and KBS-PT. For the highest possible flexibility, the KBS-KF cannot be beat. It packs a wide variety of products as hard blisters and soft blisters consistent high-level performance.

Zahoransky Z.Pack 4 | 5 packaging machines at a glance
The Z.Pack 4 | 5 packaging machines are suitable for all standard complete blisters. Thanks to their modular design, companies can enjoy a particularly high degree of flexibility in blister design, such as labeling on the front, perforation, embossing, printing, and more. Semi and fully-automatic options for product infeed ensure high machine performance and efficiency. In addition, the touch-free infeed reduces the error rate and machine downtime. Planned changeover times can also be significantly shortened thanks to the integrated ERCO (Ergonomic Rapid Change Over) functions. The cutting tools are highly durable and are also compatible with all Z.Pack machines. The Z.Pack 4 | 5 can be used in a wide variety of applications, from being used as a stand-alone machine to being integrated into fully automated packaging lines. PVC, Pet, or PLA film can be used as forming materials while cardboard, “Tyvek”, aluminum, Pet, and PVC film can be used as cover materials.

 

The Z.Pack 4 runs virtually vibration-free thanks to its stable steel stand. It is equipped with a 4-meter chain. The stations are driven pneumatically or by servo motors. From a financial point of view, the Z.Pack 4 is also impressive due to its low investment costs.

Mondi and Reckitt Launch Paper-Based Packaging for Finish Dishwasher Tabs With 75% Less Plastic

  • Mondi and Reckitt created an innovative paper-based packaging solution for Finish dishwasher tablets
  • New packaging reduces plastic by 75% and will eliminate more than 2,000 tonnes of plastic each year once roll-out is complete
  • Move contributes to Reckitt’s ambition to halve the amount of virgin plastic in its packaging by 2030

Mondi, a global leader in sustainable packaging and paper, has helped Reckitt on its sustainability journey by designing new paper-based packaging for the company’s market-leading Finish dishwasher tablets.

Packaging for dishwasher tablets must be sealable, durable and water resistant, so using paper has traditionally been challenging. However, by working closely together along Mondi’s EcoSolutions approach, Mondi and Reckitt were able to create a solution that is sustainable by design: the new Finish packaging has successfully replaced 75% of the plastic with responsibly sourced paper. The remaining plastic is used to strengthen the paper structure and provide barrier protection to ensure the quality and safety of the Finish product as well as a re-closable seal.

The new paper-based packaging for Finish will initially launch exclusively with Carrefour in France, where the packaging is recyclable in the existing paper recycling streams. Any adaptations required following the initial market launch will be incorporated before its roll out in other countries over the next few years. Once the launch is complete, Reckitt will be eliminating more than 2,000 tonnes of plastic every year – which is the equivalent of 50 million 1-litre bottles.

Angela Naef, Chief Research & Development Officer at Reckitt said: “Removing plastic from our products is a priority across all Reckitt’s brands. We are always looking at new and innovative ways to improve sustainability in our packaging and we are committed to pioneering further packaging innovation. One of Reckitt’s sustainability ambitions is to reduce virgin plastic in our packaging by half by 2030. As well as removing plastic, the new packaging is expected to generate 15% less CO2 emissions across the product’s lifecycle compared to the previous plastic packaging.”

Gonzalo Balcazar, Global Category Vice President at Finish added: “This latest design represents our commitment to build better future solutions, not just for cleaner dishes but for a cleaner, more sustainable world. The paper-based solution ensures that Finish customers can enjoy the same product they know and love, with the added benefit of doing something for the environment.”

Olivier Seux, Head of Global Key Accounts at Mondi said: “With Reckitt, we were able to develop a paper-based packaging solution that reduces plastic usage while still providing the necessary product protection. This project is a great example of Mondi’s approach of using paper where possible, plastic when useful. The packaging has been designed with sustainability in mind to minimise the impact on the environment. We look forward to working with Reckitt to continue to test and develop solutions that help them achieve their sustainability goals.”

Totalenergies, Windmöller & Hölscher and Mitsubishi Chemical Group’s Collaboration Led to High Barrier Recyclable Packaging Contributing to Materials Circularity

TotalEnergies, Windmöller & Hölscher and Mitsubishi Chemical Group announce today the successful proof of concept of a fully recyclable High Barrier Stand-up Pouch suitable for food-grade applications.

The partners have developed a fully recyclable high barrier packaging, to replace multimaterial structures (like e.g., metalized BoPP/PE or metallized BoPET/PE), in line with brand owners’ commitments to 100% recyclable packaging by 2025. Composed of 98% polyethylene and less than 2% EVOH, required for barrier properties, the new solution exhibits identical performances without any compromise on recyclability, allowing to enter available recycling streams and thus contributing to address the challenge of plastics end-of-life.

It consists of a Machine Direction Orientation (MDO) film and a sealing film, laminated together by Dettmer Verpackungen GmbH & Co. KG. The machine manufacturer B&B Verpackungstechnik GmbH then transformed this structure into a Stand-Up Pouch that could be used for demanding applications, such as coffee packaging. The MDO-PE film recipe, composed of TotalEnergies Supertough, and unique Lumicene high density PE together with Mitsubishi Chemical Group’s Soarnol, was running on an VarexII equipment at the Windmöller & Hölscher Expo for four days during the 2022 K show and was successfully welcomed by attendees.

“The replacement of non-recyclable multi-material packaging is key to ensure the circularity of plastic materials, bringing more qualitative items on the market to be used as feedstock for the recycling industry. We are committed to accelerate in the circular economy by integrating eco-design principles into our product development process, in line with our ambition of producing 30% recycled and bio polymers by 2030” said Olivier Greiner, Vice President, Polymers Europe & Orient at TotalEnergies.

“With this product study, we are very pleased to showcase another missing piece in the puzzle towards a true circular economy. Our leading knowledge and cutting-edge technology for the production of barrier and MDO-PE films as well as the excellent co-operation between all partners have made this possible.” said Dr. Jonas Schmidt, Head of Product Management of Windmöller & Hölscher.

“We are happy to participate in this joint project, offering an innovative and sustainable packaging to the industry. Thanks to the combination of chosen barrier materials, together with excellent machine technology, the needs of high water-vapor-, oxygen- and aroma-barrier are achieved. Furthermore, the structure can be declared by definition as mono-layer solution, and it is also fully mechanically recyclable”, explained Domenico De Angelis, General Manager Sales Soarnol, P&C MMA Business Group EMEA of Mitsubishi Chemical Group.

Adsorbent clays, such as attapulgite, are an important enabler for growth in the purification of edible oils and renewable fuels. In edible oil they remove contaminants thereby enhancing the shelf-life and oil quality, whereas in renewable fuels they play a key role in removing contaminants during the pre-treatment process, thereby protecting the catalyst. This enables a particularly stable and economically viable process. Clariant offers unique technologies for the purification of biodiesel to reduce greenhouse gases in road transportation and for the purification of pyrolysis oil to enable the chemical recycling of plastics. With this acquisition Clariant’s Functional Minerals business will increase its production capacity and subsequently its footprint in the attractive North American market.

“This acquisition is a perfect example of our disciplined approach to bolt-on acquisitions as it provides tangible synergies, strengthens one of our core segments and brings us closer to our 2025 targets,” said Conrad Keijzer, Chief Executive Officer at Clariant. “At the same time, the acquisition is another step forward in the energy transition away from fossil-based fuels.”

The newly acquired attapulgite business is one of the largest miners and producers of attapulgite in North America. It encompasses mining operations in Georgia as well as Florida and processing operations in Quincy, Florida. This business is well recognized in the industry for its unique combination of mineral quality, mine reserve size, and strategic location. It produces attapulgite based products for a wide range of applications and end markets, and generated sales of approximately USD 36 million in 2020.

“We are very pleased with the completion of this acquisition in the U.S.,” comments Angela Cackovich, President of Adsorbents & Additives at Clariant. “Along with a strategically valuable business, we also welcome 75 highly qualified professionals. Our increased presence in the region will allow for greater customer proximity and enhances our ability to meet the demands of an attractive, rapidly expanding market.”

North America is a strategic region for Clariant with numerous growth opportunities in the edible oil and renewable fuel markets. With its expertise and via this acquisition, Clariant will increase its production capacity to be able to meet the growing demand for renewable fuels whilst also maintaining its supply integrity to the edible oils market, more specifically by expanding its Tonsil range. Clariant’s Tonsil bleaching earths are the gold standard for efficient and sustainable oil, fat, and biofuel purification. The product range has been used successfully to remove impurities from crude oils and fats for more than 100 years.

Solvay’s Sustainable Alve-One Foaming Solutions Win 2022 Pierre Potier Prize

Solvay, a leading supplier of advanced materials, has announced that its Alve-One foaming solutions have been awarded the 2022 Pierre Potier Prize during a ceremony organized by France Chimie on October 27 in Paris. Alve-One is a family of safe and eco-friendly, patented chemical foaming agents developed for use in thermoplastic foams.

The innovative Alve-One technology is based on functionalized sodium bicarbonate, offering foam resin producers, additive manufacturers and plastic converters a uniquely safe, sustainable and efficient alternative to incumbent hazardous blowing agents. The Alve-One technology protects people throughout the entire life cycle of the foaming solutions, from storage, handling, transport and processing to the final foamed products, including recycling since it does not generate residues.

“We are very pleased to receive this prestigious prize, which acknowledges our firm and continuous commitment to sustainability” said Karine Cavalier, Business Line Manager. “Solvay is ready to collaborate with the plastic foam industry in the transition to its Alve-One portfolio, which will take their foaming business to new heights, stepping up innovation, efficiency and sustainability.”

Solvay’s Alve-One foaming solutions are a perfect example of ‘safe and sustainable by design’ chemistry, well aligned with the EU Green Deal and Solvay’s One Planet commitment. They provide a superior alternative over potentially hazardous and/or toxic blowing agents as well as expandable microspheres currently in the market, without compromising performance or efficiency. In particular, the technology has been accredited as a safe substitute for azodicarbonamide (ADCA), which has been classified by the Reach Regulation as a Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC).

Furthermore, Alve-One foaming solutions provide sought-after benefits, e.g. in white foam formulations, where they reduce the need for titanium dioxide (TiO2) while enabling odorless foams and minimizing the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOC). With 10 times lower CO2 equivalent emissions, 34 times lower water and 22 times lower energy consumption than ADCA, they also help users reduce the overall environmental footprint of their processes and products.

“Each ton of ADCA replaced by Alve-One in plastic foams is a step towards a more responsible and sustainable chemistry for the well-being of all of us and our planet” added Jean-Yves Seguin, Project Manager at Solvay.

Due to their inherent versatility, Alve-One foaming solutions can be used in a wide range of thermoplastic polymers and are compatible with most additives in plastic foaming. Manufactured in Europe, they are globally available in a unique set of formulations, each developed to address specific application requirements in areas including primarily automotive, footwear, building & construction, consumer goods and packaging.

Alve-One has been officially identified as a sustainable alternative for foamed thermoplastics by multiple organizations, such as the International Chemical Secretariat (ChemSec), the Solar Impulse Foundation, which recognized it as an Efficient Solution, and Inovyn, which gave it an Innovation Award in 2019.
