Discover the Innovations series, inspired by the winners of the ALL4PACK Innovations 2022. In the “Sustainable and Responsible Solution” category, Leygatech stood out with a sealing solution that promotes the reuse of packaging.

The most striking and innovative sustainable solutions of the year are brought together in our Innovations series, at the heart of new trends in the packaging and intralogistics ecosystem.

Reuse, a major pillar of sustainable packaging with low environmental impact

In an era of growing environmental awareness, reuse is coming to the fore, synonymous with sustainability and eco-responsibility, in response to the major challenges linked to global environmental impact.

Reuse gives packaging or materials a second life beyond their initial use.

It’s a practice that enables all the players in the production chain to reduce their dependence on virgin resources and achieve economies of scale. Reusable packaging is designed to be durable, robust and suitable for multiple uses.

Reuse also appeals to consumers, who can reuse packaging to store food and objects, or return it to the manufacturer for repackaging.

Businesses play a crucial role in the transition to reuse.

By rethinking their production and supply chains, manufacturers are encouraging the adoption of environmentally-friendly solutions. Switching to reusable packaging reduces the amount of waste, and raises consumer awareness of the collective interest in giving preference to sustainable choices.

Packaging reuse, reverse logistics and the circular economy

Behind the evolution of packaging, one of the reasons why manufacturers are embracing reuse is the associated economic benefits. By investing in reusable packaging, companies have the opportunity to reduce the costs associated with producing new single-use packaging.

Although initially more expensive, sustainable and reusable packaging offers a significant return on investment in the long term by reducing expenditure on new materials and waste disposal.

The reusable packaging market is also part of the wider framework of reverse logistics and the circular economy. Reverse logistics – which involves returning products and packaging to the manufacturer for reuse – offers operational gains by streamlining returns management, thereby optimising the use of resources. Companies that adopt circular business models are better positioned to adapt to an era when sustainability is becoming a major criterion in consumer purchasing decisions.

ALL4PACK Innovations: re-use recognised as a sustainable solution for the future

The reusable packaging market offers players in the packaging ecosystem a unique opportunity to combine profitability and environmental responsibility.

By adopting strategies based on reuse, companies are making a significant contribution to reducing waste, and strengthening their position as responsible players.

In the medium and long term, this can lead to increased customer loyalty and competitive differentiation in a market focused on sustainability.

This is the challenge taken up by Leygatech with its Thinox product, winner in the “Sustainable & Responsible Solution” category.

In partnership with Geneomat, Leygatech has developed a sustainable sealing solution specifically for reusable containers. Their 100% recyclable polyethylene film can be sealed on a variety of materials, including stainless steel, glass, ceramics and porcelain.

Thinox was highlighted at ALL4PACK EMBALLAGE PARIS as a sustainable and innovative solution to the new challenges and reuse needs of the fast food, supermarket and local authority markets.

Although packaging reuse presents many opportunities, certain challenges remain, notably concerns about hygiene, traceability and logistics.

However, innovative solutions, such as specialised cleaning systems and advanced tracking technologies, are emerging to propel packaging reuse as a viable global sustainable solution on a large scale.

As a strategic alternative for reconciling economic profitability with environmental and social responsibility, the reuse market cuts across all universes and sectors of activity, and promises to be at the forefront of the next edition of ALL4PACK EMBALLAGE PARIS 2024.
