to reduce the impact on operators lifting loads and repetitive tasks .
“ Automating our finishing and distribution operations across the manufacturing sites is one of the major achievements for All4Labels , with several patents and several engineering innovations already in the pipeline . At All4Labels we are committed to bring printing and packaging to the next level for a new and completely seamless experience ,” he added .
Holy Grail 2.0 Holy Grail 2.0 is about rationalising how packaging can be sorted , reused , and recycled . As an active member of this initiative , All4Labels provide special samples as well as technical advice and expertise across the industry .
Participating in the first industrial trials – which were successful , with a sorting rate above 90 % – Martino stated that this was a “ great milestone that shows how technology has the potential to improve the sorting of our packaging wastes to be reused , recycled and also upcycled ”.
Nevertheless , there are major challenges in the industry that remain , including removing the ink from the packaging – substrates are incredibly challenging . After conducting several R & D and lab tests , All4Labels are now collaborating with several solution providers to see which technologies could best increase the level of efficiency in the packaging de-inking processes to up-cycle as much waste as possible .
“ Some production equipment can certainly be improved in terms of efficiency and emission reduction . Partners work with our engineering team on unique solutions that could upgrade our machines with innovative technologies . Digital embellishment is another upcoming technology , where
