In recent decades, packaging technologies continuously improve to combine optimum product protection with highly efficient processes. One factor has gained importance within the last few years: The environmental impact of packaging. Manufacturers are seeking new approaches to use environmentally friendly materials such as paper. Sensitive products like dairy call for innovative technologies that meet these high demands. Yogurt, dessert and dip packaging needs to be safe and hygienic — especially when using paper. Ilona Junker, project manager of sustainable solutions at Syntegon Technology, develops new technical solutions for filling machines, making it possible to use sustainable packaging materials for liquid and viscous food products. Here, Ilona explains sustainability and product safety are not mutually exclusive.
