Sustainable Packaging – How Pearl is Making a Difference

Sustainability for the flexible packaging industry is a hot topic that’s being driven both by consumer sentiment and increasing regulatory pressure. It is a multi-faceted approach that challenges packaging companies to look beyond the functional lifespan of their products, by designing and producing plastic materials that significantly reduce their environmental impact. With a focus on “reduce, reuse, recycle”, true sustainability is achieved through the adoption of circular economy practices—where plastic products are recyclable, compostable, and/or made from recyclable or renewable resources. As different materials and films are developed with sustainability in mind, various processing parameters can change, and that’s where Pearl comes in – working with our customers to overcome any issues those changes present in your operation. Pearl is at the leading edge of sustainability, providing complete blown film handling solutions for the most aggressive sustainable formulations, as well as enhanced punches and punch delivery products for punching next generation plastic film, bags and pouches. Regrind material tends to be abrasive - increasing wear and tear on punches, fold boards, and turning bars. Pearl solutions include more durable materials and coatings with increased wear resistance. For example, our Performance punches are up to 4 times longer lasting than other punches and are ready to stand up to the new sustainability challenges ahead. We are seeing blown films that are thinner than in the past, as a means of reducing the total amount of plastic for the same packaging. Thin film for pouches requires industry leading tolerances on zero clearance units, and Pearl is a leader with both our Value and Performance zero clearance products. If you’re facing issues with your sustainability initiatives, give Pearl a call. Working with our engineering team, we will help you select the proper Pearl products to solve your application issue. We can test different solutions in our Application Lab, running your film, and making your product choice easy and risk-free while giving you peace of mind that you’ll be able to achieve the same results when implemented at your facility.
