Building Better Bonds—Responsibly

We optimize material use to cut waste and scrap, design for reusability—or clean separation for easy recycling—and run our plant with energy-saving systems and renewables.

Responsible Products & Material Efficiency

Material optimization to reduce waste & scrap

Smart nesting and right-sized web widths to minimize offcuts

Yield-boosting formats (kiss-cut stacks, cross-wound spooling) to reduce start/stop losses

cross-wound spooling

Part consolidation to eliminate unnecessary layers

Reusability or easy separation for recycling

Favor reusable fastening/reworkable bonds whenever feasible as for example

tesa Bond&Detach

Gottlieb Binder fastener

If reuse isn’t possible, we design for clean separation: mono-material stacks, peelable/low-migration interfaces, and clear separation tabs/markings so substrates sort into correct streams

Die-cut liner minimization (silicone paper or foil)

Technical measures to reduce or eliminate additional liner material, including:
- linerless and shared-liner concepts where suitable
- tighter part spacing and multi-part sets on one liner
- validated thinner liners without performance loss

Segregated waste streams across production, converting and packaging
Reuse program for cores, cardboard boxes and pallets (internal loops)
Collaboration with partners downstream in the supply chain to enable reusable/returnable packaging (e.g., return loops, take-back, pallet pooling)

Water & site resources

Rainwater collection for internal toilet flushing and green-area upkeep

Fleet & mobility

EV and hybrid company cars supported by our on-site charging infrastructure to lower Scope-1/2 transport emissions

Responsible Supply Chain

Supplier Code of Conduct (ethics, labor, environment)
REACH/RoHS statements available on request
Periodic reviews with suppliers to switch to reusable packaging and mono-material options where possible

Case Study Tiles

Spooling Upgrade:
- 6 → 12 Heads
- What we changed: New spooling line doubled to 12 heads + optimized winding recipes.
Reuse Logistics Loop for Boxes
- Problem: One-way cartons from core deliveries = avoidable waste.
- What we changed: We collect inbound boxes and send them to a logistics partner for reuse (returnable pool).
- Impact: Fewer new cartons purchased; lower waste handling; reduced transport emissions.
Die-Cut Tool Redesign to Cut Scrap
- Problem: Excess web trim + spacing inefficiency.
- What we changed: Re-engineered die tools (tighter nesting, web width match, common-liner sets).
Better Tape = Less Tape (Packaging Example)
- Problem: “Cheap” tape needs multiple wraps to hold—more material, more time.
- What we changed: Upgraded to a higher-performance tape, validated for single-pass sealing.
- Impact: Fewer wraps per carton, consistent seal quality, lower total tape consumption.

FAQ

Can you support reusable packaging with our plant?Monika Kluk2025-11-13T10:04:55+01:00

Can you support reusable packaging with our plant?

Yes. We set up returnable loops (cores, boxes, pallets), mark flows for quick sorting, and coordinate with your logistics to make reuse practical. Where loops aren’t feasible, we design mono-material packs for easier recycling.

How do you reduce waste and scrap during converting?Monika Kluk2025-11-13T10:03:29+01:00

How do you reduce waste and scrap during converting?

By optimizing layouts and web widths, using kiss-cut and cross-wound spools, and validating thinner or shared liners—only releasing designs that meet spec in lab and line trials.
