Clear plastics group Plastech refurbs factory after Alplast move.

Clear plastic packaging maker Plastech has overhauled its Scottish facility after the Alplast business it acquired three years ago moved into the site.

Plastech bought Buckinghamshire-based Alplast in 2007 but moved the business's manufacturing to its own 4,000sqm facility in Glenrothes, Scotland at the end of last year.

Plastech has now completed a major refurbishment programme since the move in the first quarter of 2010.

The consolidated business can, Plastech said, provide clients with a one-stop-shop for the design and manufacture of clear plastic promotional packaging aimed at the retail sector.

Plastech managing director Tom Stirling said: "It made perfect sense to centralise the packaging operation at our headquarters, where we have a highly skilled staff and an excellent manufacturing and support infrastructure already in place."

LyondellBasell adds HDPE caps and closure capacity

Polyolefins giant LyondellBasell says that the caps and closures market will be one of the key focus sectors for its new Hostalen ACP HDPE production unit, currently under construction at its Münchsmünster site in Germany.

The 250,000tpa unit will begin manufacturing multi-modal HDPE resin grades using LyondellBasell’s Advanced Cascade Process (ACP), for the closure, pipe and blow moulding industry in the second half of this year.

The ACP process is claimed to allow production of HDPE resins with tailor-made molecular weight distributions and co-monomer content, resulting in optimum stiffness/toughness balance, high ESCR and improved ease of processing.

“This state-of-the-art plant will bring additional capacity to the market and improve customer’s flexibility of supply within the EU,” the company said in a statement.

Pack offers packaging line, material efficiencies

Administration approval in October 2008, Pfizer launched its overactive bladder (OAB) treatment Toviaz™ in a carded blister housed in a paperboard outer sleeve and bundled with regulatory literature for presentation to consumers by prescribing physicians.

Last year, Pfizer worked with AmerisourceBergen company Anderson Packaging to transition to Anderson’s proprietary IntuiDose™ child-resistant compliance-prompting format for the physician’s sample package. The four-panel wallet pack contains 14 8-mg doses. The user pushes each pill out of each blister cavity from a three-ply cold-formed base film. The lidding is a 15#, paper-supported, push-through 0.008 foil. The pack uses a 16-pt board stock, coated on two sides (C2S), with a heat-seal coating applied on press during printing to help reduce overall cost and material use. Also, there are 4-mg and 8-mg strength versions, distinguished by an orange or green color scheme.

The Toviaz pack recently was honored as the 2009 Compliance Package of the Year by the Healthcare Compliance Packaging Council, and as the first Distribution Management Award-winner by the Healthcare Distribution Management Assn.

EU demand for stand-up pouches to grow 9.1%

The advantages of (SUP) packaging, such as as light weight and excellent oxygen barrier properties, will drive the European market to grow 9.1% over the next five years, according to PCI Films Consulting.

In the study ‘The European Market for Stand-Up Pouches 2010’, PCI says demand grew by 10-15% during the five years up to 2008. Demand dipped during the economic recession of 2009 but strong demand is expected to return over the next few years.

In 2009, nearly 19 billion SUPs were supplied in Europe, accounting for 5% of the total value of converted flexible packaging in Europe. This figure is predicted to rise to over 30 billion units by 2014.

“In recent years, attitudes towards the SUP have become much more positive as brand owners, retailers and consumers recognise the attractions of this format as a cost-effective, convenient and environmentally superior alternative to rigid packaging,” says report author Paul Gastor.

China Flexible Packaging's Q2 profit rises 89%

SINGAPORE : Mainboard-listed film manufacturer China Flexible Packaging Holdings said its second quarter net profit jumped 89 per cent on-year to 13.8 million yuan, or S$2.8 million.

The company said the better results were due to the increase in sales and gross profit margin for the period under review.

China Flexible Packaging saw its revenue rise 41 per cent to 235 million yuan, driven by increased market demand for its products.

The company also said the positive results were due to the recovery of the food and beverage industry and consumer spending in China.

Meanwhile, the company's net profit for the first half of its financial year nearly tripled, rising 195 per cent, to 38.6 million yuan on higher sales volume.

PlasticsEurope condemns German BPA precautions

Industry trade association PlasticsEurope has hit out at a report published earlier this month by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment (Umweltbundesamt) which recommends that producers and users of bisphenol-A (BPA) adopt alternatives as a precautionary measure.

The Umweltbundesamt report, ‘Bisphenol A: a chemical with adverse effects produced in large quantities’, was published on 9 June. According to PlasticsEurope, its recommendation that BPA producers and users switch to alternatives is a misinterpretation of the EU’s precautionary principle.

“The UBA [Umweltbundesamt] has correctly reported that leading international and national authorities regard the use of BPA-based materials as safe,” PlasticsEurope said in a statement released last week.

“The precautionary principle should only be applied if the insecurities in the assessment of a risk are large, for example, when scientific data is either unavailable or insufficient. However, BPA has an extensive scientific data base available, and experts can assess any risk associated with BPA comparably well.”

Toy packaging and recycling

The toy industry faces a crackdown on excessive packaging under plans to reduce the amount of rubbish sent to landfills, the new Environment Secretary has warned.

Parents who complain that new toys are wrapped in too much plastic and cardboard may have found an ally in Caroline Spelman, who announced the move during her first interview in her new role.

She plans to extend the voluntary Courtauld Commitment on grocery packaging to toys and other sectors of the leisure and entertainment industries. Mrs Spelman will today announce a review of waste disposal, with the aim of raising the level of household rubbish put out for recycling in the UK, which at 18 per cent is one of the lowest in Europe.

Expressing her irritation at the amount of packaging that forms much of household waste, the Cabinet minister, who has three children, told The Independent: "I'm a working mum who has to cook supper and it frustrates me that so much of what I purchase to feed the family is double- or treble-wrapped, quite often in tough plastic, and you do slice your finger trying to get into it.

Reduce packaging technologies

Although packaging waste accounts for around 15% of the total waste burden in developed countries, its disposal has become a significant and pressing problem because it tends to be high-volume and highly visible. As consumers continue to demand convenience, freshness and quality in their food and drinks purchases, retailers are prioritizing getting products onto store shelves as rapidly and efficiently as possible.

However, as packaging waste grows, retailers are coming under pressure from consumers, governments and lobby groups to take action in order to reduce the amount of packaging used on products.

A new report by CompaniesandMarkets.com evaluates innovation in packaging reduction in food and drinks by region and product category, pinpointing growth opportunities and highlighting technologies with the strongest future potential. It examines packaging waste issues from various stakeholders in the supply chain: packaging suppliers, food and drinks manufacturers, retailers and consumers.

Market value of microwave packaging.

Having witnessed deceleration in its growth over the last few years, the US market for microwave packaging is expected to reach US$2.52 billion by 2015. Growth in the short to medium term period will be driven by factors such as the trend towards take-home and packaged convenient frozen foods, increasing popularity of microwaveable foods and innovation in product offerings.

Consumers’ desire for food solutions, which are quick, efficient, time saving, and designed to simplify an elaborate food preparation, has been long driving technology developments in consumer electronics geared towards delivering the utmost level of convenience.

Microwave ovens, which during 1970s, invited lot of skepticism from wary skepticism by wary consumers unwilling to sacrifice quality, flavor or taste of foods, is today an indispensable part of every American household. The massive levels of market penetration witnessed for this consumer appliance, over the years, is the result of continued incremental improvements made in microwave technology. Against this backdrop, microwave packaging too has developed into a highly accepted and convenient packaging technology.

bottled water spending trend

The U.S. Conference of Mayors released the preliminary findings from an ongoing national survey demonstrating that more and more cities are phasing out bottled water from city budgets. These initial findings come on the heels of an executive order by Colorado Governor Bill Ritter cutting state spending on the bottle. Four states, including New York, Illinois, and Virginia, have now taken such action.
"These actions are not just about fiscal responsibility, they are about civic pride and protecting common resources," said Leslie Samuelrich, Corporate Accountability International Chief of Staff. "Spending taxpayer dollars on bottled water sends the wrong message about our nation's high quality tap water. It is also entirely wasteful to spend scarce public dollars on such a non-essential use of our most essential public resource."

The survey was prompted by an earlier resolution encouraging cities to phase out bottled water spending. Up to 40 percent of bottled water, in fact, comes from the same source as the tap. Bottled water is also far less regulated. Yet bottled water marketing has been so effective that many U.S. cities responsible for delivering tap water to the public have been spending millions each year on the bottle - even as public water systems face a $22 billion annual shortfall.

Thermoformed paper Material for lunch meat packs

Marks & Spencer is the first to commercialize a paper-based material that can be thermoformed on existing packaging lines.
UK retailer Marks & Spencer, an avid innovator where sustainable packaging practices are concerned, has launched sliced luncheon meat in thermoformed packs made of Paperlite. Developed jointly by Marks & Spencer, Billerud, and Flextrus, Paperlite is said to be environmentally beneficial because it’s made from a renewable resource as opposed to being entirely petroleum-based and because its manufacturing is FSC-certified (Forest Stewardship Council).

At the base of the Paperlite material is paper produced by Billerud in such a way that it is inherently stretchable. This material is sent to Flextrus for a coextrusion coating of PE/EVOH/PE. The EVOH provides the oxygen barrier properties needed for the modified-atmosphere package. In a second pass, Flextrus flexo prints the material black, which is done for aesthetic reasons.

Packaging equipment safety tips

Machine builders and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are being challenged to incorporate additional automation and/or motion into their machinery to address the flexibility demands of the packaging industry. These flexibility demands can create complex safety issues into the packaging machinery, but rest assured, there are solutions out there that unite flexibility and ensure the safety of machine operators.

Shorter innovation cycles and increased pressure from the competition is driving the need for more flexible packaging machines. This demand has resulted in the decrease of batch build and multi pack runs and now requires your machinery to produce multiple packaging variations from the same machine. This flexibility must include the ability to perform quick product changeovers while maintaining a high level of throughput efficiency.

Croatian beverage crate moulder Kaplast up for sale

The owners of Croatian beverage crate moulder Kaplast have put the firm up for sale in a bid to broaden its cyclical business base and allow it to enter new markets across Europe.
Its controlling shareholder, the Feitl family, is inviting offers to purchase a minority or majority stake of up to 79% in the Vojnić-based company. But potential bidders will have to move fast if they want to beat the 2 June deadline to submit an initial letter of intent.

Currently, Kaplast’s single moulding plant supplies 73% of an estimated 22 million crates consumed by its regional market, comprising the states of the former Yugoslavia including Slovenia, Serbia, Kosovo, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The firm operates a modern, automated injection moulding shop, equipped with 12 presses ranging in clamping force from 35 to 950 tons. At present, Kaplast is the only local in-mould labelling (IML) and overmoulding crate producer, according to the Croatian branch of accountancy group Deloitte which is handling the sale.

The current management has continued to invest in the firm with the greater part of the plant moulding equipment installed between 2004 and 2009, stated Deloitte.

The Feitl family, which holds a stake of just over 73% in Kaplast, aims through the sale to expand the company’s customer base and/or product range to make it less cyclical. “The main goal of management is finding a partner which would enable the company to participate in the wider European market,” explained Deloitte senior associate Uros Kalinić.

Kaplast has already attracted interest from potential foreign bidders ready to enter the due diligence stage of the sale process, Kalinic added.

Despite its cyclical business, the Croatian moulder achieved average annual sales of around Euro 8 million over the past five years with average profit margins of 13%, according to Deloitte.

At one time, Kaplast was considering establishing a new plant to mould quality beverage crates with a local partner in China, but the management has since shelved the idea. But it is understood it could be revived at a later stage.

Kaplast is part owned by its workforce with the employees owning a shareholding of more than 20%. The Italian company General Plast holds a further 6.7% stake

Packaging automation: Efficient bottle handling

An automated intermediate bottle storage system at the Alpla plant in the U.K. uses robots to load plastic bottles from the blow molders into trays and also moves the stacks of trays automatically into and out of the storage area.

Alpla is a worldwide plastic bottle manufacturer with 122 production plants. At one of its plants in the U.K., it recently installed a distinctive system for handling and storing plastic bottles that changes the traditional method of storing empty plastic (PET, HDPE, PP, etc.) and aluminum containers for future downstream processing.

Supplied by Autefa automation Gmbh, the system, which is called an intermediate bottle storage system (iBSS), is ideally suited for onsite or through the wall installations where bottle production and filling are done on the same site. In the traditional method of bottle handling, most onsite operations produce and bulk palletize the bottles or pack the bottles in plastic bags and temporarily store the pallets or bags in an onsite warehouse. the pallets or bags of empty bottles are then retrieved from the warehouse on demand, and the empty bottles are depalletized or debagged and sent through the wall to downstream operations.

This traditional method of operation requires significant money to be spent for packaging supplies, labor and capital equipment. Dunnage is required for pallets, tier sheets, top frames, stretch wrapping and/or strapping and labeling. Labor is needed to transport pallets or bags to interim storage, and then retrieve them for downstream processing.

Once they are retrieved for downstream processing, labor is needed to manually remove stretch wrap, straps or bags. Capital equipment is necessary to depalletize the bottles onto accumulation conveyors or, in some cases, the containers are dumped into bins, and are then unscrambled and placed onto accumulation conveyors.

IBSS automates bottle handling

The Autefa iBSS drastically changes that above mode of operation with the primary intent of reducing costs for both the bottle producer and the filler. "We were looking for a bottle handling and storage system that would reduce our labor and material costs," says Martin Stark, Alpla's engineering director. "After examining the systems that were available, we decided that Autefa would best meet our needs."

The iBSS is placed between the blow-mold area and the filling area with lanes of tabletop conveyor transporting the bottles. if bottles are intended to go directly to the filling lines, they bypass the iBSS and go directly to the lines. If bottles are to be placed into interim storage, they are picked by Autefa tray loading/unloading robots and placed into metal trays.

These filled trays are stacked vertically, and are then automatically placed into a storage system sized to meet the customer's inventory requirements. When the bottles are needed for downstream processing, the stacks of trays are automatically retrieved and returned to the tray loading/unloading robot systems, where each tray is unloaded and the bottles placed back onto the tabletop conveyor for delivery to the filling lines.

In this operation, bottles are delivered to the iBSS on a series of tabletop conveyors that run parallel to the tray loading/unloading robots. Sensors monitor the flow of bottles and start and stop the conveyors to maintain consistent bottle flow. In the loading/unloading area, a two-axis, pick-and-place robot with custom gripper heads picks up a number of bottles and places them in a stainless steel storage tray. The robot can have one to four gripper heads and will pick up bottles from the corresponding number of parallel conveyors.

40,000 bottles/hr

When a tray is full, it is transferred to the full-tray stack, and the next empty tray is placed for loading. Capacity of a single-robot system depends on the sizes of bottles being handled and the number of grippers installed, but it can go as high as 40,000 bottles/hr for a four-gripper system.

Empty trays are delivered to the loading/unloading area in stacks typically about 15 trays high and the trays are placed in the loading zone one at a time. To accomplish this, the entire stack is raised and the bottom tray is conveyed into the loading zone.

Once the tray is filled, the process is reversed, and the full tray is conveyed onto the full-tray stack. As with the empty trays, this is accomplished by raising the entire stack and conveying the tray into the bottom position. The stack is then lowered onto the bottom tray.

There is no weight placed on the containers inside the trays because each tray is self supported, and the bottles are kept controlled and fixed at all times. The tray stack also has a specially designed top tray that serves as a dust seal. Each tray is identified by a permanently affixed the stacks of empty and filled trays are transported to and from storage by SAT-Carriages that run on a floor-mounted rail system.

When a SAT-Carriage carrying a stack of full trays reaches the assigned storage lane, the stack is lifted slightly and placed on a carriage that carries it into the lane. The procedure is reversed to deliver stacks of bottles back to the loading/unloading robots.

The iBSS incorporates a computerized data management system that controls the data base of stored bottles and trays. Should a bottle quality problem occur, the system can identify, locate and isolate the particular trays or trays of the suspect bottles.

These trays can then be automatically retrieved and staged in a defined area for examination. A customized listing of reports can also be generated to highlight inventory levels, identify segregated quality lots, determine available space left in storage, etc.

System advantages

"Autefa has been a great help throughout the project," says Stark. "They were present for installation and startup, and still provide assistance if we have any problems." The primary goal of the iBSS is cost reduction with a secondary goal of improved quality control.

Savings can be realized in the following categories:

Dunnage: no bags, pallets, tier sheets, top frames, strapping, stretch wrapping or labeling is required.

Capital equipment: the iBBS automatically balances the capacity differences between the blow molders and the fillers so smaller blow molders operating 24 hours, seven days a week can produce enough bottles for filling lines running 12 hours, six days a week. no baggers, debaggers, depalletizers, unscramblers, bins, strappers, stretch wrappers, labelers and fork trucks are required. A capital investment is necessary to purchase the iBSS, but this is a one-time cost and typically has a two to three year payback.

Labor: the iBSS does not require a designated, full-time operator. typically, an existing operator in an area close to the iBSS is assigned to oversee the system should an alarm condition require operator intervention. Typically, the iBSS requires approximately 80 percent less labor compared to a production plant with a traditional bagging/debagging installation.

Quality: there is no damage to the bottle body nor neck. Suspect bottles or production lots can be identified, segregated and controlled, thus preventing sub-quality production from being shipped.

Flexibility: the system provides total flexibility between the blow molders and the filling lines. Any blow molder's production can be diverted to any filling line on short notice.

Perspective: the system is designed to gently handle the containers without causing any storage damage to the container such as scratches or dents.

With the need to reduce bottle weight for further cost reduction, the iBSS is well suited to handle the demands of the future market. "The Autefa system has worked out very well for us," says Stark. "it has really exceeded our expectations. On top of everything else, it has eliminated the bags that we used to store our bottles in, so we don't have the costs of the bags or the environmental concerns."

Column on sustainable packaging debuts

The May 2010 issue of The ULS (Use Less Stuff) Report from editor Bob Lilienfeld has been released, featuring a new monthly column titled "Focus on Packaging." Says Lilienfeld, "Packaging continually comes up when discussing sustainable business practices. We want to inform readers about the latest developments and thinking regarding green packaging."

The first column focuses on food packaging and its role in the product life cycle.


The USL Report is published montly and is rated the number-one waste prevention site by Google, Yahoo, and MSN, says Lilienfeld.

Detail-rich sustainable packaging Product Database is an industry first

Greener Package launches a first-of-its-kind Web-based Product Database for sustainable packaging materials, with collaboration from Walmart.
Web-based knowledge exchange GreenerPackage.com now offers the industry’s first and only searchable database of sustainable packaging materials—the Greener Package Product Database. Unveiled in May, the database encompasses both raw and converted materials and is rich with detailed product information from the sustainable packaging industry’s leading suppliers.

The Greener Package Product Database has been meticulously developed by GreenerPackage.com and ECRM, the technology provider for Walmart Stores’ Sustainable Packaging Scorecard Modeling Software, to equip users with the most thorough information on both packaging performance and sustainability characteristics available. To submit their product information, suppliers must complete a standardized questionnaire that asks 27 detailed questions on packaging performance and 12 on sustainability. The database replaces ECRM’s Marketgate Web site, becoming the central portal through which suppliers must enter their data for inclusion in Walmart’s Scorecard Modeling Software.

"Quite frankly, there is no other database on the Web like this,” says Dave Newcorn, vice president of e-Media for GreenerPackage.com parent company Summit Publishing. “All of the data points are very, very specific to packaging materials. This also represents the first time that packaging suppliers can make sustainability claims, and we have found a way to normalize those claims or standardize how they are represented to the industry.”

Through a voluntary, third-party review process, suppliers can have their sustainability claims validated against the Greener Package Guidelines to Sustainability Claims. The review, designed to root out greenwash, provides “an apples-to-apples comparison of materials and sustainability claims,” Newcorn relates. Only those suppliers whose claims have been reviewed will be included in Walmart’s Modeling Software.
Raw and converted materials are separated

Also unique to the database is the ability to search either by raw materials or by converted packaging—“a nuance that is often lost in typical databases,” Newcorn says. “So, if you are a converter, and you make paperboard folding cartons, you will be able to quickly find raw material suppliers that will sell you the unprinted board. As an end-user packager, you can find converters that will sell you folding cartons.” In addition, searchable sustainability criteria run the gamut, from source through end-of-life characteristics.

Users can also search for company information within the database. Each supplier submitting data receives its own, dedicated page, with company details, including company size and revenue; complete product listings; and manufacturing plant information. Deep links allow users to contact the company directly and view specific materials on the supplier’s Web site.

The database has been under development since April 2008, with suppliers beginning to upload their data in fall 2009. Currently, the database contains more than 44 listings on raw materials and 186 listings on converted products, from 178 suppliers. According to Newcorn, 20% of the raw materials and 10% of the converted products have been third party-reviewed.

For its fifth annual Sustainable Packaging Exposition, held in Rogers, AR, earlier this month, Walmart required all potential exhibitors to enter their product information into the Greener Package Product Database before they were granted invitations to the event. According to Newcorn, GreenerPackage.com is in talks with at least one other major U.S. retailer about developing a program around the database to encourage its suppliers to enter product data for third-party review. For a limited time, the database is free both for those wishing to upload their product data and for those using the search features.

Sustainable packaging: Cereplast Expects to Ship 16 Million Pounds of Bioplastics in 2010

Cereplast, Inc. announced that it expects to produce and ship approximately 16 million pounds of their proprietary bio-plastic resins to customers in 2010, representing a 400% increase in shipments compared to 2009.


Cereplast recently entered into new global distribution agreements with a number of companies, including multi-billion dollar corporations Ashland Distribution, a commercial unit of Ashland Inc. and Bunge Alimentaris, a Brazilian subsidiary of Bunge Limited, a contributing factor to the rise in shipment estimates. To support growing sales volume, the Company recently opened a new state-of-the-art production facility in Seymour, Indiana. The move to the new plant, which was relocated from Southern California, also has significantly reduced real estate and utility costs for the company.

“Distributors are increasingly utilizing bio-plastics as an alternative to petroleum-sourced materials in order to meet growing consumer and industrial demand for economically and ecologically sound, 'green' products,” said Frederic Scheer, Chairman and CEO of Cereplast, Inc. “Our new advanced facility provides us with the capacity and scalability to handle climbing volume. We estimate that this facility, running at full capacity, will be able to produce approximately 80 million pounds of bioplastic resin per year.”

Mr. Scheer added, “We estimate that the expected rise in volume will result in our 2010 revenues increasing by a minimum of 190 percent. The bulk of the shipments are expected to be delivered in the third and fourth quarter."
