RETAL design engineer Andzejus Buinovskis presented at the AMI Plastic Closures Innovations Virtual Summit on 2nd \u2013 3rd June, with his informative presentation provoking interesting questions in the Q&A session. <\/p>\n
Andzejus created a video presentation highlighting his insight on the RETAL tethered closures journey and the circular economy<\/a>. \u201cI shared how RETAL has developed a series of tethered closures in accordance with the list of requirements from the leading brand owners. I was determined to add more personal insight too as everyone presenting was working to the same set of criteria.\u201d<\/p>\n This smart approach led Andzejus to highlight how collecting and recycling play a key role in the circular economy, as well as showing how reusing molds is a big contributor to sustainable development. He adds, \u201cI was also pleased to include details of how Lithuania has integrated deposit schemes and that 80% of bottles come with the closures attached \u2013 even though they\u2019re not tethered!\u201d<\/p>\n The \u2018immersive virtual event\u2019 was attended by leading brand representatives, equipment manufacturers, and packaging producers, with the presentations and following discussions showing how the focus on tethered closures, lightweighting, and the circular economy is still at the forefront of the packaging and beverage industry drivers.<\/p>\n Read online at Business Focus<\/a><\/p>\n
