Antalis, a paper and industrial packaging company, has reengineered a customer\u2019s shipping cartons, achieving a significant reduction in both packaging materials used and carbon dioxide (CO\u2082) emissions.<\/p>\n

Specifically, the initiative led to a 33% decrease in materials used and a 21-tonne (t) reduction in CO\u2082 emissions annually.<\/p>\n

The client\u2019s original shipping cartons, which comprised a double-wall flute material, used 61t of board each year.<\/p>\n

Antalis\u2019 Smart Packaging Centre (SPC) aimed to reduce the corrugated board in the cartons, which came in two sizes, without sacrificing performance.<\/p>\n

Packaging technologists conducted tests to determine the performance capabilities and composition of the existing cartons.<\/p>\n

Utilising the test results, Antalis developed theoretical parameters for replacement boxes manufactured using single-wall C-flute board.<\/p>\n
