The vast majority of CPGs in Latin America are moving toward meeting their sustainability goals, and they see new packaging materials—such as recyclable, compostable, monomaterial films—as an obvious way to meet these goals. However, they often forget to consider the existing and older equipment that processes these flexible materials in their plants, materials that may be more fragile, require longer or shorter sealing times, and at different temperatures. The baggers, vf/f/s, hf/f/s, and flow wrappers in their plants have often been processing the same type of multi-material flexibles for a long time. Therefore, assessing whether equipment needs to be modified or retrofitted to accommodate these new materials is key. This exclusive webinar is a key guide to help you understand these challenges and issues correctly and avoid potential technical difficulties.
Webinar attendees will be able to:
- Understand challenges and issues with existing plant equipment when adopting new sustainable packaging materials.
- Analyze options for modifying or retrofitting existing equipment to accommodate new sustainable packaging materials.
- Consider how equipment will be impacted in speed and performance, especially if handling more delicate materials is required.
- Evaluate whether it will be necessary to purchase completely new equipment.
