Foldable reusabel transport packaging
WALTHER Faltsysteme sets new standards for
sustainability in returnable logistics: The specialist for
foldable reusable transport packaging presents for the first
time a plastic folding box, 93 % of which was produced from
renewable raw materials (a blend of sugar based resins,
minerals and natural waxes). The folding
box will initially be available in the
external dimensions 600 x
400 x 220 mm. The future
areas of application for
the innovative container
are diverse: standard
dimensions and the latest
RFID technology guarantee
reliable processes from highly
automated intralogistics and supplier
transport to the use in stores. With this
pilot project, Walther Faltsysteme is further
developing its proven GREENLINE product range: the
company manufactures 100 % of its Greenline transport
boxes from regenerative plastic.
The latest innovation in the Greenline product line is
produced by injection moulding and shall be available in
all colours. Reason for the further development from using
regenerative plastics towards using more and more lastics
from renewable raw materials is the increasing demand
for lean and environmentally friendly reusable transport
packaging in all sectors. “With around 17 million tonnes of
packaging waste per year, producers, suppliers and dealers
are looking for an efficient solution. The product
development of a folding box made of
renewable raw materials brings
us one step closer to our goal of a
low-pollution recycling economy”,
explains Thomas Walther, Managing
Director of Walther Faltsysteme.
The Greenline product line convinces
with its sustainable development concept:
with proper handling, the containers score
with a comparatively long service life of
around 100 cycles. The regenerative material
can also be used for about two to three additional
product life cycles after the recycling process. Walther
Faltsysteme has already circulated more than 500,000
transport containers made of regenerative material. MT
