For several years, equipment manufacturers have watched on the sidelines while their customers’ businesses have evolved to embrace sustainability. At PELV 2009, for the first time, credible new machinery technologies and processes emerged that give equipment suppliers a seat at the sustainability table.

One such supplier, Lantech (www.lantech.com), which manufactures case-handling, stretch-wrapping, and shrink-packaging equipment, provided GreenerPackage.com with some valuable insight on how developing standards in stretch-wrapping equipment are integral to a brand owner’s successful sustainability program.

Explained Lantech chairman Patrick Lancaster, “Our customers are being pressured around sustainability to reduce the amount of materials they are using in their packaging. …Our job at the end of the line has become to bandage products that have reduced materials at the sake of load stability.”
