Less than a week after its launch, our innovation in sustainable packaging: Eco-Sleeve Plus has gained significant global recognition. The product was featured in Packaging 360 magazine (India) as a new solution for cosmetic packaging and in the online magazine Sustainable Packaging News (UK) as a new title in Circular Economy.
… What made it stand out in this way?
Eco-Sleeve Plus received this great accolade because, without a doubt, it decreases waste due to its sustainability and is a popular alternative due to its unique printable outer design.
Suffice it to say that fragile bottles require many layers of packaging and usually plastic bubble wrap or other less sustainable fillers are used to secure them. Eurostat’s packaging waste statistics stated that, in 2017, around 174 kg of packaging waste was created per capita in the EU and to counter this, most e-commerce platforms such as Amazon or Ebay have worked hard to reduce unsustainable packaging layers.
Eco-Sleeve Plus is therefore the right alternative to help companies achieve their sustainability goals. In more detail, its special composition on the inside made of grooves that fit together perfectly guarantees space optimisation, as well as being an excellent cushion for products, thus avoiding any friction that could damage labels and product prints. In addition, its flat paper outer cover gives the product packaging an aesthetic appearance that is suitable for printing.
In addition, Eco-Sleeve Plus is designed to save on logistics costs.
Eco-Sleeve Plus can save time during the final packaging process and, consequently, costs. Its sleeve shape simplifies the packaging process for workers as no complex handling is required. Simply slide the Eco-Sleeve Plus along the bottles or flasks. The result is increased productivity at the packaging stage and cost optimisation in the supply chain.
Staying on the subject of space optimisation, the Eco-Sleeve Plus itself is stored in its own flat layer, thus minimising storage space; thanks to its ingenious grooves in the two inner layers, it takes up half the space of the bubble-wrap alternative. In addition, its flat paper outer cover limits the thickness of the pack size as a whole, reducing the space required for loading onto pallets or vehicles, the transport trips required and, consequently, costs.
Eco-Sleeve Plus is circular by nature.
Its main material – recycled paper – makes Eco-Sleeve Plus a product for sustainable businesses. Moreover, it is environmentally friendly because, unlike plastic bubble wrap or airbags that are also made of plastic, Eco-Sleeve Plus is paper recyclable, providing an environmentally friendly solution for the treatment of packaging waste.
In conclusion, it must be remembered that innovation can come from small changes, and replacing, for example, plastic bottle fillings and packaging with a single Eco-Sleeve Plus can have a positive impact on the environment. Furthermore, it is well known that end consumers are well disposed towards the eco-sustainable market and notice all these changes in favour of sustainable packaging; therefore, they will be the ones to support your company on the journey towards sustainable packaging.
