Redeker: As a systems supplier we’ll continue
to use our expertise to develop holistic
systems for the milk and dairy industry. We
adopt a comprehensive approach so that we
can offer our customers not only effective,
resource-saving and operator-friendly machines
but also extra service and training opportunities.
One example of this is our Bottles
& Shapes program which supports our customers
in the individual development of their
bottles regarding the aspects of economy,
market acceptance and product quality.
We of course also take into account the
many demands of the trade our customers
have to consider. We therefore not only supply
rotary aseptic filling lines with high filling
capacities but also extremely flexible linear
aseptic and ESL filling lines. These lines provide
high line availability with very short format
changeovers under aseptic conditions.
Line expansions with flexible multipack systems
also enable our customers to cater for
the strong trend towards smaller batch sizes
and a greater variety of different secondary
packaging styles.

The PET bottle, on the other hand, is 100%
recyclable. PET bottles made completely of
recycled PET, such as Coca-Cola Life, have
long been on the market. For many years
non-returnable bottles have contained recycled
PET and bio-based plastics.
The number of PET bottles made of raw
materials of plant origin will rise from the
current 30% to 100%.
Another promising natural raw material is
being used by the experts from Hohenheim
University in a research project. PEF or polyethylene
furanoate is produced completely
from plant-based raw materials. It can be reused
and is heralded as being the packaging
material of the future, especially in the food
and beverage sector. PEF is distinguished by
its increased impermeability to carbon dioxide
and oxygen and thus ensures that the
packaged products keep longer. Another
advantage of the new material is its higher
mechanical load-bearing capacity.
