Packaged for the Future

Our packaging solutions for a functioning circular economy

Sustainable Production for the Packaging
of Tomorrow

The responsible use of resources is a key issue in the plastic packaging industry. New requirements such as sustainability, circular economy, and legal regulations are changing markets and consumer behavior. Plastic films offer major advantages in this context: they are lightweight, cost-effective, and have the lowest carbon footprint in production compared to other materials. Their further development and improved recyclability are crucial for a sustainable future – and a key task for plastics machinery manufacturers. Together with partners along the value chain, we are working on innovative monomaterial solutions that enable recycling and pave the way for a functioning circular economy.

Our Packaging Solutions

Biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) films are the most widely used films in flexible (food) packaging because of their versatility and excellent material properties. As a mono-material solution, they are “ready for recycling”.

best mechanical and optical properties
excellent barrier properties
easy to process

Flyer 'BOPP'

Biaxially oriented polyester films (BOPET) are a convincing functional layer in multilayer packaging. Currently, they are the only viable option for recycled materials that are approved for food contact.

excellent barrier properties
high flexural strength
good temperature resistance
suitable for microwaves

Flyer 'BOPET'

Biaxially oriented polyamide films (BOPA) are the perfect solution for packaging fatty, oily and highly aromatic foods.

good chemical resistance
suitable for deep-freezing
high puncture and impact resistance

Flyer 'BOPA'

Mono-material packaging made from biaxially oriented polyethylene (BOPE) films is already an excellent solution for the circular economy by utilizing a widely available PE recycling stream. Brückner Maschinenbau is one of the pioneers in this field.

high puncture resistance and tensile strength
good seal strength
high rigidity

Flyer 'BOPE'

Films made of PETG, a modified PET, are mainly used for labels and tags, but also in tamper-evident applications, as security seals to prevent packaging from being opened or tampered with.

easy to print
particularly high transparency
density reduction

Flyer ' Shrink films'

As an alternative to crude oil-based raw materials, bio-based materials are increasingly being used for the production of biaxially stretched packaging films – the most successful so far has been polylactic acid, PLA. Being discussed more and more are cellophane, bio-PE, PEF or PHA. Relevant points are always:
