Opportunities and benefits in using plastic film in baling

Associated with economic growth and a development model that preserves and enhances natural capital, the Circular Economy optimizes the production of resources and minimizes systemic risks.  

This model of production and consumption implies reducing waste or waste to a minimum. In this quest for sustainable production, the circular economy has a great influence on the plastic packaging production chain. 

Below, you’ll follow along with some key topics that highlight the opportunities and benefits of using plastic film bundling. Good reading!

See, below, some questions related to grouping by plastic film. 

1. Reuse

The need for a reduction in the use of plastic is constantly growing in the market. Currently, there are some solutions to deal with the waste of this material. 

Two of them are in focus: reuse and refill. These solutions are fueled by awareness of mismanaged plastics and are directly linked to consumer behavior. 

In the face of demands to maintain regulation and corporate commitments to ensure that all plastic packaging is reusable, recyclable or compostable, new product models from established brands and startups are emerging. 

Therefore, technology is a great ally in the development of its industry. Through it, it is possible to seek a transformation in the development of packaging, ensuring a more conscious look to the future. 

2. Consumer behavior

Consumer behavior is a determining factor for decision making. It is built by the sum of all the attitudes and perceptions that lead the customer to purchase. 

Therefore, it is important to adapt to changes. Currently, we live in a context that values ??innovation and agility. As a result, consumer behavior has been changing and becoming more aware.  

The reuse and refill models require adapting the company’s systems to deliver, collect, track, aggregate, clean and prepare packaging. 

There are two models that are in progress in the market: on-the-go replenishment, which requires more dedicated consumers, who are responsible for sanitizing and taking containers back to the store; and the home replenishment model, which doesn’t require a major change in behavior but does require a brand-loyal customer.  

Given this scenario, it is necessary to adjust processes and further encourage changes in consumer behavior to ensure sustainable production for your business. 

3. Sustainability using plastic film bales 

The end of the packaging life is also a critical factor, but with awareness and good habits, this packaging can be put to good use. Primary packaging requires higher quality, as it is directly on the product. But secondary packaging, which is robust packaging, can reduce the environmental impact. 

One of the packaging industry’s biggest challenges over the next three years will be to reduce its environmental impact. The focus will be on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, as established by the Paris Agreement in 2016. The treaty, signed by 196 countries, aims to prevent greenhouse gas emissions from increasing further by 2025. 

Your customer is part of this change process, and communicating initiatives such as reuse emphasize the brand’s responsibility towards an environmentally sustainable world – and the end customer is part of this whole process by supporting recycling in the disposal of packaging. 

Brazil generated 3.5 million tons of post-consumer plastic waste in 2019 and recycled only 24% of that volume, according to information from Picplast, an initiative by Abiplast and Braskem. The largest volume of these plastics is flexible packaging that ends up in landfills for not receiving the correct destination. 

As a manufacturer of machines that accept this type of sustainable packaging, we pose this question to power the evolution towards sustainability and support full circularity with packaging as part of a fully circular economy. Plastic packaging is easily recycled, in addition to being an economical solution, maintaining quality and resistance.
