APS

Packaging, especially expanded polystyrene (EPS), is a major challenge to sustainability and a carbon-neutral future. The Agil Packaging System (APS) project offers a new way to package bulky household appliances that doesn't rely on massive quantities of EPS – air-filled bubbles made from multilayer film. The all-in-one APS system can be installed at the end of a manufacturing line, and offers a 30 % cost saving compared to EPS packaging. The system is flexible (packaging is custom-made and produced on demand), has a lower carbon footprint than EPS, and the multilayer film can be easily recycled. The system has been prototyped and is now ready to be optimised in clients' plants.
