More-sustainable packaging has now become a necessity for both brand owners and consumers. Whilst most of the protective foam packaging materials supplied by Excel incorporate at least 30% recycled material and are themselves fully recyclable, there are genuine concerns around the continued use of petro-chemical based foams, especially on account of the inconstancy of doorstep recycling capabilities around the UK. With the advent of some revolutionary new materials, Excel is pleased to announce the launch of it’s Envirafoam? range of more-sustainable protective foam packaging materials. Without compromising performance, these fantastic new materials offer a real-world solution in a challenging product sector where pack performance and quality is as important as environmental impact. #foampackaging?#fibrease?#woodfoam?#sustainablefoam?#Ecofoam?#envirafoamR?#envirafoamEP?#envirafoamWP #sustainability #sustainabilitysolutions #ecofriendlypackaging #eco Contact us to find out what we can do for your business in 2024.

Why a picture of dirt? And how does this relate to sustainability. If you have a home compost this is what you are making. If you have fiber based packaging why not recycle and make into a new container? Do not compost either at home or industrial. By doing this you keep the lifecycle going. This makes new pulp which makes new paperboard which makes a new carton. The cycle does not have to stop. All other compostable materials besides fiber have to go into an Industrial Facility or a home facility. NO BLUE BIN. #onthecase #sustainabilitycasepaper #casepaperco

Recycled wood is incredibly valuable for us. ???? Not just on today's #GlobalRecyclingDay ?? We transform pallets, old furniture, materials made of solid wood into high-quality chipboard. The recycled wood comes from qualified companies or our own recycling collection sites. After EGGER chipboards’ long service life, they are fully recyclable again. This way we ? embrace a #circulareconomy ? give wood many lives and ? keep the #CO2 stored even longer. Take a look at the video to get a glimpse of our recycled wood processing ?? #manylivesforwood #morefromwood

?? Nature inspires us! As we courageously move with our customers toward sustainability and circularity goals, we look to nature to help guide us. ?? One example is our innovative, plant-based resin for wood floor coatings, Decovery? SP-8607. A product that?meets even the most stringent customer requirements, we are proud to give the coatings market a high performing product with bio content further enabling our core values of doing good for people and our planet. ? With focused intent to increase usage of alternative raw materials, including plant-based ingredients, we eliminated chemicals of high concern and created Decovery? SP-8607. Regulations did not tell us to do it. We did it because it is the right thing to do in our quest to becoming?Fully Circular. #sustainablecoatings #biobased #fullycircular

In recent years, the perception that more layers in a plastic water storage tank automatically means better quality has gained traction. This notion, however, is far from accurate. As someone who has closely observed both the market and our own product evolution at Astral, I feel it’s important to offer some clarity on this issue. After all, informed consumers make better choices and better choices lead to long-term satisfaction. The idea of "more layers, more strength" has a certain appeal—it’s easy to digest and seems logical at first glance. But let’s take a step back and examine the actual factors that determine the quality and durability of a tank. 1. Material Quality is Key A tank made from high-quality plastic, with the right additives to resist UV radiation and prevent degradation, will always outperform a tank made from inferior materials, regardless of how many layers it has. The focus should be on what the layers are made of, not how many there are. 2. Manufacturing Process Defines Strength The strength of any tank comes largely from how it’s made, not from the number of layers. A well-moulded tank with consistent wall thickness and a properly managed cooling process will last longer and resist external stresses better. In contrast, a multi-layer tank with uneven walls can develop weak spots over time. 3. Layers Serve Specific Functions But Don’t Guarantee Strength Each layer in a tank is typically engineered for a specific purpose. One layer might offer UV protection, another insulation, and so on. More layers don’t necessarily equal more strength if the materials or design are lacking. So, while layers have their role, they aren’t a direct indicator of overall durability. 4. Thickness and Uniformity Win Over Layering The real game-changer is thickness combined with uniformity. A tank with a single, thick, evenly moulded wall can outperform a multi-layered tank with thinner walls. This uniformity across the structure is what ensures resilience, especially in key stress areas like the base or joints. I think, let’s encourage everyone to ask the right questions. Look beyond a bit and focus on what makes a tank last—quality of material, precision in manufacturing, and design integrity. These are the factors that will give you peace of mind, not just more layers. #Astral #WaterTanks #WaterStorage #PlasticTanks #WaterStorageSolutions #Manufacturing #TankDurability #Quality #EngineeringExcellence #Innovation #Consumers #Awareness #SmartChoices #ConsumerEducation

?????????????? ???????? ???????????????????? ?????????????????? ???????????? ?????????????????????????????? ???????????????? ???????????????????????? ?????? ?????? ?????????????????? ????????????????. In the quest for sustainability, European companies are increasingly choosing wood as an ecological option for packaging materials. With a multitude of environmental benefits and versatile applications, wood symbolizes sustainability in various packaging contexts. Multiform (www.multiform.be) from Belgium has also seen a significant rise in demand for custom-cut sides and top plates for pallets in recent years. As specialists in custom-cut wood fiber boards, we too prioritize offering solutions where concern for environmentally friendly packaging applications is paramount. In addition to its renewable nature, wooden packaging also excels in energy efficiency. Compared to synthetic materials like plastics, wood requires less energy throughout its entire production cycle. The solutions offered by Multiform result in several benefits for industrial users: *Drilled or grooved sides are possible *No more torn packaging film thanks to the chamfered corners *Packaged goods are better protected than with other packaging materials *Ideal for the food industry where hygiene and harmless substances are key elements From our production site in Estaimpuis, Belgium, Multiform provides various custom-made solutions for packaging materials.
