RESOURCE BASIS

Resource Conservation and Innovation
The responsible use of resources is a central component of our corporate strategy. Our aim is to use raw materials efficiently, avoid waste and strengthen material cycles in a sustainable manner.
To this end, we are constantly optimising our products, production processes and value chains. Through lean management, digitalisation and automated processes, we reduce material losses, avoid overproduction and increase resource efficiency throughout the entire value chain.
At the same time, we are already thinking about the raw materials of tomorrow. As fossil resources are finite, we are working with partners to explore alternative, bio-based sources of raw materials. One example is tall oil, a by-product of pulp production which, as a renewable carbon source, offers potential for future packaging solutions.

Our approach
Conserving fossil resources
Promoting circular material flows
Continuously improving resource efficiency and material utilisation
Testing and developing bio-based alternatives
Preparing for future regulatory requirements in the long term
Achieving more together
A functioning circular economy can only be achieved through collaboration. That is why we work closely with partners across the entire value chain – from raw material producers, through brand owners and retailers, to recyclers and reusers.
Furthermore, we are involved in research projects, industry initiatives and dialogue with environmental organisations to develop innovative solutions for a resource-efficient and sustainable packaging industry.

Re-Design Packaging

We take a critical look at your packaging. How much packaging is really necessary?

Targeted optimisation of your packaging concept can unlock potential savings in materials, logistics and processes. 
We work with you to analyse existing packaging solutions and develop optimisation strategies to reduce material usage, improve recyclability and enhance cost-effectiveness.


Your benefits with Maag I Pro-tect

- Opportunities to reduce material usage
- Recyclability certified to cyclos-HTP standards
- Optimised conditions for high-quality material recovery
- Opportunities to reduce licence fees through recycling-         friendly packaging design
Lower packaging weight and the resulting logistical benefits
Support in implementing future PPWR requirements

Our experience from numerous optimisation projects shows that, depending on the initial situation, there is significant potential for savings. In individual projects, improvements of up to 70 per cent have been achieved by optimising packaging structure, material usage or logistics.

 

Material

We believe in PP!

POLYPROPYLENE has excellent chemical, thermal, mechanical and optical properties for packaging.
PP is also used as a recyclate in a variety of other markets, so that its reuse is assured.
Our single-substance PP composites ensure mechanical recyclability. Multilayer composites, on the other hand, are not separable during the recycling process.
There is a sorting and recovery infrastructure for our packaging in material recycling. The packaging components are homogeneous and they do not contain any substances that could prevent recycling in practice.

Our recyclable single-substance solutions with Maag I pro-tect have excellent functional values in both the packaging and sorting processes:
- Very good machine running properties.
- Melt flow indices and density are suitable for the recycling process.
- Thicknesses from 15 to 100 μ

 100% PP as duplex or triplex

  • High protective functions against mineral oil residues MOSH / MOAH
  • Oxygen barrier up to 0.1 cm /m /d
  • Water vapor barrier up to 0.1 g /m /d
  • Very good sealing properties
  • Very good machine properties
  • Transparent, white or metallized

PRINTING

10 color flexo printing with brilliant results for your communication is our standard.

We will advise you in detail and find the best solution for your product.

  • Which design solutions, which encodings or which digital watermarks should be used on the basis of existing processing technologies?
  • How do colors and the number of colors affect the recycling process?
  • Which color chemistry, how much and which additives are optimal?
  • How does the printing process affect the design?
  • How much ink coverage is possible and how does that affect the recycling process?
