Whatever the direction might be, Aisa assists its customers in their effort to produce more sustainably. For this, we provide solutions in both packaging development and machinery innovation.
Recyclability of plastic tube packaging
The recyclability of plastic tube packaging has been certified for both North America and Europe, specifically in the coloured HDPE bottle stream. This certification has been widely adopted by major oral care brands, following the pioneering efforts of Colgate in this field.
Circular plastic economy, where do tubes fit in?
In the context of the circular plastic economy, the role of tubes in sustainable packaging has gained significant attention. With post-consumer recycled material already being utilised for tube production, the use of extruded tubes with up to 70% PCR content is now widespread in the USA. Furthermore, manufacturers can make caps, shoulders, and tube sleeves from recycled materials using cutting-edge machines supplied by Aisa.
What about bio-sourced material as an alternative to plastic-based laminate tubes?
Our company is committed to promoting sustainability and exploring the potential of bio-sourced materials as an alternative to traditional plastic packaging. We have taken proactive steps to support this goal. Our approach includes equipment modifications to facilitate the use of eco-friendly materials, collaboration with material suppliers to drive innovation, providing training and support to our customers, and investing heavily in research and development to create new sustainable solutions that align with our commitment to reducing environmental impact. Through these efforts, we aim to help our customers meet the growing demand for sustainable packaging and promote the adoption of eco-friendly alternatives in the industry.
But what about the plastic waste that cannot fit into a recycling stream designed for the circular plastic economy?
In collaboration with Aisa, Replace has developed a groundbreaking solution to tackle plastic waste by repurposing materials like aluminium barrier laminates, thereby providing them with a new lease of life and an opportunity to be valued beyond the realms of incineration or landfill. Aisa’s state-of-the-art processing machine has been specifically designed to maximise the effectiveness of this innovative approach.
