Constantia Flexibles installed three Comexi machines – including a Comexi F2 flexographic press – at its new Constantia Ecoflex Ahmedabad plant in India.
The new plant will be focused on the production of more sustainable and fully recyclable flexible packaging material.
At Constantia Ecoflex Ahmedabad, the production focuses on the more environmentally friendly packaging family EcoLam, which is part of Constantia Flexibles’ product line Ecolutions. EcoLam is a lightweight Mono-PE lamination suitable for a great variety of packaging applications.
Due to its mono-material structure, it is fully recyclable, and its carbon footprint is approximately 32% lower than that of comparable products.
The EcoLam family comes in different barrier grades (EcoLam, EcoLamPlus, EcoLamHighPlus) to deliver the barrier needs for a diversified range of products. The Ecoflex plant has an area of 24,500 square meters and currently employs 50 people.
“We at Constantia Flexibles, the third-largest producer of flexible packaging, are fully aware of our responsibility towards the environment and we understand the needs of our customers and end consumers," said Stefan Grote, executive VP Consumer Division at Constantia Flexibles. "We want to be the driving force of positive changes in the packaging industry and therefore we constantly working hard to evolve in many fields of sustainable packaging. Opening the first plant focusing only on recyclable packaging is a major achievement not only for Constantia Flexibles but for the whole flexible packaging industry.”
