Looking for more sustainable alternatives
Our mission is to provide you with peace of mind by protecting your products, day after day. We are therefore constantly searching for the best packaging solutions on the market. This task is carried out primarily by the portfolio managers in our purchasing department. They conduct research into the latest developments and innovations every day, to find the best and most sustainable solutions for you.
In this search, they often come across very good initiatives and alternatives but discover that they are more expensive or do not offer the same level of protection. So it comes down to testing out as many innovations as possible and adding those that achieve the best results to our range.
More sustainable solutions for moisture protection
We recently completed a case study in cooperation with our partner for moisture-protection packaging solutions, demonstrating a significant cost improvement. These are used in container storage and transportation where metal components, electronic equipment or natural products need to be protected against the impact of moisture. The aim is to prevent rust and mould. In the storage and transportation of metal components, the VCI method is currently a very common choice.
In this method, molecules attach to the surface of the metal and form a thin, protective layer. This layer prevents moisture and other corrosive elements from coming into contact with the metal.
The use of desiccants is an alternative method for combating the negative impact of moisture. We’re all familiar with the little sachets of desiccant found in shoeboxes. Our supplier Absortech applies this method on an industrial scale. And they presented a convincing use case.
