Sustainable milk powder lid production
High-speed IntElect S with MuCell® application
Drastically reduced weight, food-safe, waterproof, and fit for the circular economy. Those were the specifications set by UNITED CAPS for their new milk powder lid 127 SAFE-TE. Together with our partners Borealis, Trexel, Rouxel Mold, Pagès Group, and Coveris, we succeeded in developing a lid which met and then surpassed those expectations.
This projects' production cell will be our exhibit at the VDMA Circular Economy Forum. It features MuCell® technology and IML technology together with our energy-efficient IntElect S.
