Sustainable Coffee Packaging Solutions – CoffeeTalk

Constantia Flexibles, a flexible packaging manufacturer, is showcasing the machine runnability of its EcoLamHighPlus mono-material on Syntegon’s PMX packaging platform for coffee packaging. The EcoLamHighPlus is designed for recycling in the PE stream and is fully compatible with the PMX system, demonstrating an efficient, future-ready solution for brand owners at no additional cost. This partnership highlights both companies’ commitment to providing more sustainable, high-performance solutions.

EcoLamHighPlus is developed to meet the growing demand for more sustainable packaging materials while ensuring that packaging processes remain efficient and adaptable to future requirements. As a mono-material based on polyethylene (PE), EcoLamHighPlus offers excellent recyclability and has been fully approved by RecyClass. Beyond sustainability, the solution is also designed to perform, providing superior protection for sensitive products such as coffee, ensuring that flavor and aroma are preserved while maintaining an environmentally conscious footprint.

Syntegon’s PMX platform represents the future of packaging with its focus on flexibility, sustainability, and digitalization. This modular packaging solution is designed to handle both conventional and recyclable materials, including mono-materials like Constantia Flexibles’ EcoLamHighPlus, without requiring additional modifications or investment. The PMX machine efficiently processes up to 65 packages per minute for whole coffee beans and offers a double tube version to reach up to 100 packages per minute.

The flexible PMX machine can package both ground coffee and whole beans, accommodating a wide range of packaging formats. Its modular design allows manufacturers to meet specific customer requirements while maintaining efficient output and responding swiftly to changing market demands. In addition to its sustainability features, the PMX platform integrates Syntegon’s Synexio Empower, an Industry 4.0 (I4.0) solution that provides real-time monitoring of energy and resource consumption. Through condition monitoring and predictive maintenance, manufacturers can optimize their overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), reduce downtime, and improve plant efficiency, driving both cost savings and sustainability.

Packaging South Asia is resilient, growing, and impactful, with the Indian, South Asian, Southeast Asian, and Middle East packaging industries increasing capacity and diversification. The packaging industry growth will match GDP growth in volume terms and likely surpass it by at least 2.5%. The impactful coverage includes the entire packaging supply chain, from concept to shelf, waste collection, sorting, and recycling. India is where leading suppliers to the packaging industry are shifting their manufacturing, offering stable supply chains and low-cost production efficiencies.
