packaging, which has a particular need to make up lost ground when it comes to meaningful handling, disposal and recycling and is therefore losing consumer acceptance, say the companies. However, compared to

economy for plastic packaging. Reduce, replace, reuse and recycle are the tasks
that must be fulfilled to ensure that packaging has the least possible impact on the environment, say the companies. They are already making important contributions towards achieving this with their own technologies, however, together they cover a large part of the value chain and are joining forces in a network. “The circular economy is an interdiscipli- nary challenge,” says Stefan Engleder, CEO of
packaging made of other materials, plastics often have a significantly better carbon dioxide foot- print. “We will not be able to master many of the challenges of the future without plastics,” says Engleder. “It is not the material that is the problem, but how it is handled. This is why we are increas- ingly leveraging our know-how and experience to ensure that plastic packaging can be produced, used, disposed of and recycled in a sustainable manner worldwide.”
As an injection moulding machine manufacturer with a high level of expertise in systems solutions, Engel is involved at various levels, including process consistency. The intelligent assistance systems developed by Engel, such as iQ weight control, make it possible to consistently produce
