Problem: Cardboard wastes produced because they have recycled
Approximately 75% of cardboard waste in Portugal is recycled back into production but the primary focus should be on reducing waste production, because:
- Consumes of Natural Resources: Recycling still consumes resources and energy, and does not completely eliminate the need for new materials.
- Cost Considerations: While recycling can reduce some costs, it often involves complex processes and infrastructure, which can be expensive to maintain.
- Energy Consumption: Recycling processes require significant energy, and the energy used in recycling can sometimes offset the benefits of the materials saved.
Ekocut Solution:
Almost all manufacturing companies need packaging and then generate cardboard waste.
With the expertise of the Ekocut team, we aim to design and optimize the layout of boxes on cardboard sheets to produce more boxes from each sheet of cardboard.
Ekocut is a solution to help these companies produce 20% less cardboard waste.
How we do it:
- Using existing and standard software for initial layout design
- Analyzing the customer’s machinery, Boxes type, colour schemes, and other specialized parameters.
- Creating an optimized secondary layout that accommodates more boxes per sheet of cardboard and significantly reduces cardboard consumption.
How Many Trees Are You Contributing to Cutting Down?
Producing one million tons of paper and cardboard packaging waste is equivalent to cutting down five million trees. In the European Union alone, 9.5 million tons of paper waste are generated annually, which translates to over 46 million trees lost each year.
While around 75% of this waste is recycled, that alone is not enough. We produce waste simply because we can recycle it!
Preventing Waste Should Be Our Priority
Why? Because conserving natural resources starts with waste prevention, reducing the need to cut down trees and consume other resources. Reducing waste also leads to lower production costs and eliminates extra recycling expenses. Ultimately, preventing waste minimizes the energy required for recycling, enhancing energy efficiency.
Recycling should not be seen as a final solution but as a supplement to waste prevention.
Given these numbers, a simple calculation shows how many trees you’re impacting!
Packaging Costs: An Overlooked Expense with Big Savings Potential
Packaging costs are often an overlooked expense for many managers. However, in industries like pharmaceuticals, packaging can account for anywhere from 5% to 40% of total production costs!
Lower Packaging Costs = Higher Profits
The specific characteristics of a product (such as storage temperature, placement requirements, and transport stress) play a crucial role in determining the right packaging design. At Saadi Die-Making, we’ve leveraged our unique “Opti-Pack” design technology to significantly reduce packaging costs for our clients. This innovative approach can lead to 10-20% savings in cardboard usage for packaging production.
Real Impact: 1.5% to 3% Reduction in Final Product Costs!
With our Opti-Pack method, Ekocut enables substantial cost savings for high-volume products. By optimizing can layouts on cardboard sheets and employing the latest software and layout design technologies, we help our clients cut production costs by 10-20%.
Using this method, tailored to each product’s requirements, we can reduce cardboard usage by 10-20% and speed up delivery times for our customers.
