Get the inside scoop on the latest industry developments that are shaping our future. National Association for PET Container Resources (NAPCOR) is dedicated to addressing the misguided idea that alternatives to plastics are more sustainable. Intriguingly, life cycle research reveals that recycling PET bottles is the true environmental solution. Compared to a 12 oz. aluminum can, a 16.9 oz. PET plastic water bottle: – Consumes 80% less energy during production – Creates 80% less solid waste – Uses 53% less water during production – Has a 74% lower global warming potential – Generates 68%-83% fewer emissions contributing to acid rain and smog formation The message is clear: it's important to grasp the advantages of PET packaging to make well-informed decisions and fully understand the environmental compromises of alternative options. #StayInformed #PlaconCares #PETpackaging #Recycle Dive deeper: https://lnkd.in/dzKD9cDm

Our NPG Packaging Leadership Program team recently visited Placon Corporation for introductions, training, and a tour of their Elkhart, IN facility. The team first learned about the history of Placon as well as their capabilities, and then received a crash course in thermoforming design and processing. Joshua Dupuis tested the team’s thermoforming knowledge with a competitive game of Thermoforming Family Feud, hosted by Josh “Harvey” – mustache and all! The game was a hit and the group even received their our own “Harvey” mustaches as a parting gift. Michael Nielsen provided a facility tour highlighting their lid printing and die-cutting processes, rigid component thermoforming, and the unique ways they’re able to die-cut, seal, and form their BargerGard® protective polyurethane products. Thank you, Josh, Mike, and the Placon team for hosting our Packaging Leadership Program! #medicaldevices #packaging #thermoforming #npg #leadershipprogram

Exciting News! Our Farmer’s Fridge package just snagged the 2024 AmeriStar Award for its innovative design! The primary goal was to increase vendibility, as previous containers often jammed and disrupted machine operations, hurting revenue. Our solution? Sleek, rounded-edge sandwich and wrap containers made with 100% post-consumer recycled PET. This design led to a 50% reduction in vending jams, reducing disruptions, enhancing the customer experience, and easing the workload of our field teams.
