Packaging protects a product, but it also has a direct impact on transport, storage, material use, costs and CO₂ emissions. In addition, changing regulations, such as the European Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), present companies with new challenges. Those looking to optimise their packaging should therefore look beyond the box alone.
Nefab helps companies make industrial packaging smarter, more sustainable and more cost-efficient. The company combines packaging design with logistics expertise, digital solutions, and a global supply and service platform.
From packaging to total optimisation
Nefab designs packaging solutions based on a company’s specific needs, develops prototypes and tests them extensively. A variety of materials can be considered, ranging from fibre-based and wooden solutions to plywood and reusable plastic packaging.
The approach does not stop at packaging design. By also considering transport, handling and other logistics processes, Nefab identifies optimisation opportunities across the entire supply chain. According to Nefab, its industrial packaging solutions can reduce total costs by an average of 20% and CO₂ emissions by 31%.
Digital technology adds a further layer. Track & trace and real-time logistics insights give companies greater transparency across their global supply chain. With LCA GreenCalc, Nefab also maps the total costs and CO₂ savings of different packaging solutions.
