The key to the largest environmental and business gains within the paperization category are not simple material swaps, but evaluated packaging projects that look to make the most from the properties board and fiber products can offer, as examples in this roundup demonstrate.

In a significant sustainability initiative, the German automotive parts supplier Continental has collaborated with packaging expert Smurfit Kappa, a leading producer of paper-based packaging headquartered in Dublin, to revamp the packaging of its rubber timing belt set. By optimizing the packaging process, the companies managed to reduce the packaging components from five to two, achieving significant sustainability and efficiency gains. Previously, all individual parts were packed in five components, which in turn were sent in a larger outer box. This new packaging approach, which uses corrugated board, results in a 50% material saving and allows 70% more kits per transport pallet, saving 98 truck trips, 100,000 truck kilometers, and cutting 390 tons of CO2 emissions annually. The initiative simplifies production and enhances product protection and reduces the environmental footprint, showcasing the potential for substantial savings through smarter packaging solutions.
