    Sustainability is important to us

    We are aware of our responsibility

    One of our main concerns is to leave the best possible world for future generations. Brückner Maschinenbau is therefore working on processes to be able to produce films on our machines with the lowest possible use of resources and the highest possible recyclability.

    The plastic films produced on Brückner equipment reliably protect packaged foodstuffs against environmental influences, for example. This extends their shelf life and reduces food losses.

    At the same time, the Brückner Group is aware of its responsibility with regard to the environment and sustainability. That is why the initiative "Yes, we care" was launched in 2017. Because: Environmental protection starts in your own company!

    Managing Director CTO
    Brückner Maschinenbau
    "We make a positive contribution to global megatrends such as the circular economy, climate change and energy demand. We are intensively looking for ways to improve the recyclability of plastic products. For example, we are developing packaging films that are becoming thinner and thinner on the one hand, but retain their protective function on the other. In this way, raw materials can be saved and the valuable commodity "food" can still be protected as long and as well as possible."

    Ecological

    Social

    Economical

    The topic of sustainability is also a central component of the vision and mission for the coming years. Summarised under the core statement "High-end film for a better world", Brückner Maschinenbau works daily on new solutions for tomorrow.

    Ecological, social and economic elements can be discovered in all four core aspects of the Vision & Mission: PLANET, PROSPERITY, PEOPLE and PIONEER.

    R-Cycle

    R-Cycle is the open and globally usable tracing standard along the life cycle of plastic packaging. The overall goal is to implement a practical solution, ensuring recyclability by seamless documentation of all recycling-relevant packaging properties based on established technologies. In the recycling process, packaging can thus be precisely identified in order to process the resulting recyclate into diverse and high-quality plastic products.

    In collaboration with packaging manufacturers, brand owners, wholesalers, and retailers global identification numbers should be introduced and IoT gateways, the necessary server infrastructure and standardized formats for secure data exchange will be developed. Partners in this project are: Arburg, Kautex Maschinenbau, Reifenhäuser, Brückner Maschinenbau, EREMA, Kampf Schneid- und Wickeltechnik, MULTIVAC, STEINERT, the Institute for Plastics Processing (IKV) and GS1 Germany.

    PRINTCYC

    In March 2019 a value chain project initiative was launched by a group of companies under the acronym PRINTCYC (Printed PP films for mechanical recycling) to research and test ways to create circular economy solutions basing on post-industrial waste. Members of PRINTCYC: The machine suppliers Brückner Maschinenbau, Kiefel and PackSys Global, the film producer Profol, the ink manufacturers Huber Group and Siegwerk, the converters Constantia Flexibles and Wipak as well as the recycling specialist Erema.

    The initiative is coordinated by akk innovation, an independent start-up company for sustainable innovation management in the plastics packaging industry. The specific target of the first two project phases was to understand the impact of different ink formulations on the mechanical PP and PE recycling process. Furthermore, the re-usability of PP and PE recyclates (rPP / rPE) made from printed post-industrial film waste was evaluated in cast film, blown film, compression moulding and thermoforming technologies as well as the biaxial stretching process. Now the team is contacting new, prospective value chain partners and other recycling initiatives for designing the next working package to contribute to a circular economy of printed PP and PE films.

    CEFLEX

    A circular economy for flexible packaging

    Driving towards circular economy
    And we are part of it

    We see it as our duty to help to preserve precious resources. This is why we are a member of a collaborative project of a European consortium of companies and associations representing the entire value chain of flexible packaging called CEFLEX.

    The mission of the project is to make flexible packaging more relevant to the circular economy. This should be achieved by advancing better system design solutions via the collaboration of companies representing the entire value chain.
     

    The CEFLEX-Vision

    • By 2020 flexible packaging should be recycled in most European countries. 
    • By 2025 a collection, sorting and reprocessing infrastructure/economy developed for post-consumer flexible packaging across Europe will be established.

    Blue Competence

    Blue Competence establishes network links for the mechanical engineering industry in the area of sustainability and pools the resources, know-how and strengths of the German Engineering Federation (VDMA), the largest engineering industry network in Europe. 

    Blue Competence – these are the technologies and processes of mechanical and plant engineering which, for example, consume a minimum amount of energy while delivering maximum productivity, preserve our resources, reduce emissions to a minimum or improve people's living conditions in a sustainable way.

    Every VDMA member company can participate in the Blue Competence initiative after signing the Blue Competence contract and the associated obligation to publish the twelve sustainability guidelines of the machinery and plant engineering industry on the internet.  

    How Blue Competence makes the world more sustainable

    The participating companies publish their individual articles and solutions regarding the key questions of our time, accompanied and supported by the communication measures of the overall and professional associations. For this purpose, Blue Competence defines well-founded sustainability criteria and standards which all companies participating in the initiative endorse. The initiative thus ensures greater transparency, simplifies orientation and provides security to all those seeking sustainable solutions and products or companies operating sustainably.

    On www.bluecompetence.net the VDMA publishes detailed information on the participating professional associations and companies, as well as „best-practice examples“, standpoints and positions which are significant for the implementation of sustainable business, ecological and societal solutions.
