SPG offers big savings with its latest SOL CO2 range by significantly decreasing thicknesses in its ‘SOL CO2 Reduction Range’. This is achieved whilst fully retaining the product’s integral mechanical properties. As a result, SPG have been able to push up the number of metres per-reel by 30%!’ (calculation based on an average structure)
SP Group told SPN: “SPG is committed to sustainability that fosters efficient innovation in the manufacture and printing of flexible, rigid and thermoformable vacuum packaging. For years, we have worked hard to develop the very best applications for our clients. Our main objective is to provide truly sustainable solutions that retain the properties of traditional structures and foster the change in favour of sustainability.).
The key advantages of SPG SOL CO2 range
With this change in thickness, the new SOL range means that we are able to:
- Improve packaging productivity. Since the reels are thinner, they are longer and you no longer need to stop so frequently for reel changeovers. This translates into improved productivity in packaging.
- Lower Green Dot fees. Thinner packaging means less plastic in the packaging and for sure, less plastic in the environment.
- A lower carbon footprint because there are fewer microns per reel.
- Increased storage space. Since the reels are 30% larger, you need fewer reels for the same number of metres.
Plus, if you sell your products in Spain, with the new SOL range, you can make the most of lower taxes on plastic.
The importance of design
Design must play a part in sustainability. Packaging is a singular and customisable advertising channel and a key point of differentiation on supermarket shelves. At SP Group, we are very clear about what we want to achieve: digital and offset printing that delivers top-quality results and a more environmentally-friendly process.
We can also add format customisation and zip-seals which means contents can be saved for later. In this industry, the clear focus is on eco-design, innovation and customisation. At SPG, we offer all of this in our range of sustainable solutions. With us, sustainability is not just a challenge, it is a firm commitment to the future”.
