‘Plastic and the Circular Economy’

Protective Packaging Systems Ltd

DESIGNING FOR THE FUTURE

Intelligent Packaging Solutions

For well over 40 years I have been in Plastics thermoforming and about 25 years ago, we use to use ‘Green materials’ and recyclable materials as a sales and marketing ploy, and, whilst there is no doubt that the removal of PVC’s and

replacement by PET materials, still commonly used today in retail packaging, was a positive step, still our business was won and lost on price and not cost!


The Resource Efficiency Roadmap set out clear milestones towards a resource efficient Europe.

‘We must move towards a circular economy’:

• In which waste is used as a secondary material and pumped back into the economy; • In which we optimise waste management according to the Waste hierarchy, with the highest possible rates of waste prevention, reuse and recycling; • In which energy recovery is limited to non-recyclable waste, and landfilling to residual waste; • In which products are designed in such a way that they can be reused and easily recycled from cradle to cradle.

These objectives were confirmed by the European Parliament and Member States in the 7th Environment Action Programme.

the unique Protective Packaging System

Intense pressure on manufacturer and retailer to reduce and collect

packaging for recycling – send pre-paid Packaging back to DC for sort

Global Product Distribution

Supply of Lo-g Packaging produced from recycled

materials

Rejected units are baled and granulated to be recycled

Thermoplastic Extruder

Thermoplastic sheet extruded from recycled materials shipped to

Thermoforming Company

PPS LTD‘Local’ Forming

Ward ‘Local’ Distribution Centre

Packs are inspected and segregated for a return to WARD manufacturing for reuse

Laptop Pack

Recycled material thermoformed into new Lo-g product without any

detriment to quality

Here is a practical example of ‘Protective Packaging’


An Example of what we believe to be the best example of Protective Packaging seen

Two things:

1. Think of the cost of quality of failure

2. Watch carefully and spot the ‘issue’ with this system?


The big and unacceptable issue is the waste associated with this system!


Introducing our version of ‘Curiosity’ – the innovative ‘Lo-g’ Concept

What is the issue?

Over the last couple of decades, ‘consumer electronics’ technology has been

on an exponential growth curve.

Sadly, packaging technology has not moved anywhere near the same pace!

The advent of on-line shopping makes the purchasing of goods a quick, efficient and cost effective process,

but does the packaging necessary for safe transportation of those goods measure up?

Continuous improvements in Electronics technology results in considerably shorter product life cycles

requiring ‘rapid to market’ processing

The demand for the ‘Lo-g’ protective packaging system has been fuelled by the phenomenal and

exponential growth of ‘on-line’ shopping



What are the ‘traditional’ & competitive options available?

Complex to cut the required shapes Bulky and does not nest Increase storage requirement Increase BOM Increase Transportation & Co2 Difficult & Costly to recycle

Cut Foam & Fabrication

Activating Chemicals

Complex ‘Origami’ folding cartons

Complex to assemble, time consuming Easily damaged, inconsistent Hygroscopic, absorbs moisture Dust contamination High multiple of packaging parts Increase BOM

Complex Bulky Increase storage Not suitable for high volume Special equipment to activate Inflexible in work area H&S concerns with chemical mixes Difficult & costly to recycle


Complex to cut the required shapes Bulky and does not nest Increase storage requirement Increase BOM Increase Transportation & Co2 Difficult & costly to recycle

Fabricated EPS

Inflatable Packaging Systems

Complex to assemble Not suitable for high volumes Susceptible to deflating Special equipment to inflate packaging Inflexibility in work area

What packaging options are ‘traditionally’ available?


It heralds a new era in innovative, sustainable and cost effective fragility packaging for a diverse range of market sectors.

‘Lo-g’ is designed to specifically suit the product


The ‘Lo-g’ concept was designed to out perform existing fragility packaging systems and was a result of involvement in developing advanced composite bumper beam systems


The ‘Lo-g’ principal is that we engineer 360 degrees of impact absorption around the product

no matter what nebulas geometry the part takes

No matter what the geometrical shape of the product we are packaging is, it must be ultimately housed in a cube or rectangle!

Although the final pack shape is predictable and will always be a cube or rectangle, there are four basic styles of ‘Lo-g’ which can be considered for every application. They are:-

1. Full Wrap2. Half Wrap3. End Caps4. Lid / Base System5. Corner Caps

5 different styles of ‘Lo-g’

Thermoforming Design

Our ‘Intellectual Property’ is for a packaging system and not just a product. This gives us significant flexibility in selling a very versatile system. ‘Lo-g’ can take many forms:

1. The ‘Lo-g’ Full Wrap

2. The ‘Lo-g’ Half Wrap

5 different styles of ‘Lo-g’

3. The ‘Lo-g’ End Caps 4. The ‘Lo-g’ Lid / Base system

5. The ‘Lo-g’ Corner Caps

Comparison for Transportation based on 3 million units per annum:

• Existing system at 270 units per container = 11,111 Containers Per Annum

• New ‘Lo-g’ Packaging System at 480 units per container = 6,250 Containers per annum

What does reducing the number of containers and vehicle movements per annum mean?

At a nominal $1,000.00 per shipment, an immediate saving of 4,861 containers at $1k per shipment=

Saving a massive $4.8million p.a.

Integrated Environmental Impact

Analysis of the 6 options shows that packaging can be designed to optimize both environmental scores and costs

110Liberty Global – Sustainable Packaging – Final Result

Integrated Environmental Impact: A metric combining all major environmental impacts (GHG, water, air, etc.), weighted based on the basket of impacts of an average European. Shown in “inhabitant-equivalent x 0,001.

Costs: Calculated on a per-unit basis, including the cost of the packaging materials, kitting, storage, and shipping. Wages and logistics have been normalised to a given country (Belgium shown above and throughout this presentation).

Integrated Environmental Impact

The Dawn B Plan options lead on both cost and environmental indicators

111Liberty Global – Sustainable Packaging – Final Result

The Dawn A plan and Horizon are among the most expensive and have the highest environmental impacts

The Dawn B Plan options (pulp and HDPE) both come out ahead on the overall assessment

The results show that designs with lower environmental impacts are not necessarily more expensive, and can even provide substantial cost savings over non-optimized designs.
