Packaging protects a product, but it also has a direct impact on transport, storage, material use, costs and CO\u2082 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.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Nefab designs packaging solutions based on a company\u2019s 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 CO\u2082 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 CO\u2082 savings of different packaging solutions.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

One practical way to identify potential improvements is Nefab\u2019s Packaging Assessment. During this process, the company analyses packaging on site and investigates opportunities to reduce material use, transport and handling costs, waste and product damage.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Compliance is also part of the analysis. Companies gain insight into potential gaps in relation to current and future packaging legislation, including the PPWR. At the same time, the assessment can serve as the basis for a packaging database for the entire site. This gives organisations a practical starting point for reducing costs, supporting their sustainability objectives and limiting the risk of fines or delays caused by non-compliant packaging.<\/div>\n

During Transport & Logistics, Nefab will showcase the latest developments in industrial packaging and packaging regulations at stand 1327. Visitors will discover different materials, practical examples and solutions that combine product protection with lower material use, reduced costs and a smaller CO\u2082 footprint.
