Packaging Optimisation Tool
Sidel’s new Packaging Optimisation Tool delivers an interactive experience where visitors can calculate packaging savings as a result of customisable scenarios. The tool offers a comprehensive range of levers such as bottle neck, body, and base changes, on top of the adoption of partial labels or the integration of recycled PET. As users play with possible shifts in these areas compared to their current production, they see the changing savings per year – both in costs and GHG emissions.
Vincent Le Guen, VP Packaging, Moulds and Line Solutions, shares “Rising and dynamic costs of PET are a significant challenge for customers, and every opportunity to optimise the package weight helps, both for their bottom line, and their sustainability goals.”
Joint savings in costs and GHG emissions
Achieving savings and sustainability targets is possible by making important choices, and producers can achieve significant PET savings through lightweighting and optimising their packaging design, with reductions such as up to 40% less bottle neck weight, 35% body weight reduction, and 20% in the bottle base.
Sidel experts smoothly assist with the best line conversions and moulds to meet requirements, following comprehensive packaging feasibility and performance qualifications. The investment quickly pays for itself in savings on PET, while benefitting from a lighter carbon footprint.
