SULZER MIXPAC LTD.: Collapsible Packaging for Adhesives and Sealants
Sulzer Mixpac reports that its ecopaCC collapsible cartridges represent a compact solution for two-component packaging and dispensing applications.
Sulzer Mixpac Ltd. recently announced that it has developed ecopaCC™, a collapsible primary packaging solution for adhesives and sealants that can be used with existing dispensers. According to the company, the design reduces costs, resources, and waste, providing significant saving potential across the value chain from transportation to disposal.
Sulzer Mixpac reports that its ecopaCC collapsible cartridges represent a compact solution for two-component packaging and dispensing applications. When filled with adhesives, ecopaCC is reportedly able to compress and reduce its size as the contents are dispensed. Once empty, the cartridges can be removed from the reusable support sleeve for disposal. For example, a 600-mL collapsed cartridge weighs up to 75% less than packaging waste from conventional, rigid products, which subsequently reduces disposal costs. The foldable design of ecopaCC also minimizes the space required for both empty and filled options, providing reductions in shipping and storage costs.
