Over the past decade, sustainable packaging has become less of a niche and more of an industry standard. Adopting sustainable packaging and processing practices and developing solutions that reduce waste, reduce material usage, reduce energy usage and provide recycled, recyclable and biodegradable options is high on the agenda for manufacturers. AUSPACK 2022 will showcase a broad range of solutions designed to help manufacturers meet sustainability goals.

Smart and intelligent packaging are on the horizon, packaging that records temperature or lets the consumer know when it’s approaching best before dates. Along with the capability to let the manufacturer know where in the supply chain the product is.
What will this mean to the design and format of the packaging of the future?
In the drive for modernisation and increased output across existing production lines, one solution is investing in automation and robotics. These can have an immediate impact, although require big investments and can have a wide-ranging effect on your business. However, what are the key considerations when weighing up whether to invest or not?
Can you automate existing equipment? What impact will it have on your employees? How do you upskill an existing workforce for the future? What has worked for others and how can you learn from them? Is my factory ready for robots or do I look at cobots?
Sustainability has been a hot topic for a number of years, manufacturers have been working hard to build this into products, materials and supply chains to minimize negative environmental impacts while conserving energy and natural resources.
There is however another step to be taken; circular economics or joining the circular economy. In its most simple form, the circular economy is where manufacturers find ways to use materials and goods for much longer, creating more than one product lifecycle.
