PE Stand Up Pouch Made from PE at K 2016: To meet the growing demand for environmentally-friendly packaging Macchi SPA, on the occasion of K 2016, have decided to put on display a 5 layer POD running at a high production rate a special formulation specifically designed with Dow Chemicals, who recently developed a PE Stand Up Pouch made from only one raw material, polyethylene.
One of the most promising niches within the flex pack market, a Stand Up Pouch offers the same convenience and performance of multi-material pouches with the added benefit of being recyclable where PE bag and film recovery currently exists.
When compared to other packaging options, PE Stand Up Pouches are often lighter in weight and that can lead to decreased energy use in manufacturing, transportation and refrigeration.
The recyclability and energy efficiency of PE Stand Up Pouches can help a company meet its sustainability goals.
During the entire duration of the show, the machine will provide a live proof of the fact that a POD film can be down-gauged sometimes up to 30 or 40% of the original thickness (thus saving resources, as thinner means less raw materials and less energy), is subsequently much lighter (thus reducing the carbon footprint during the packing and transport stages), and is easily recyclable (as it is made of mutually compatible resins), confirming over a number of really striking live demos that it represents an effective, highly environmentally-friendly (and cost-effective) material: the best marketing tool to allow the industry to recover some of the margins lost during the last difficult years.
