Key Challenges in Meeting EPR Targets: India's flexible packaging industry faces significant hurdles in meeting Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) targets. With less than 5% of post-consumer flexible packaging material collected, the sector's reliance on unorganized waste collection methods, regulatory uncertainties, and the underutilization of recycling infrastructure pose major challenges. To address these, there is an urgent need for automated waste segregation systems, greater investment in recycling facilities, and early initiation of compliance processes. 🔗 Read the full article to explore the industry's strategies and solutions: https://lnkd.in/dA2BhCQw #Sustainability #EPRChallenges #Recycling #WasteManagement #CircularEconomy #PlasticPollution #FlexiblePackaging #India #SustainablePackaging #EnvironmentalResponsibility

At the recent “Roadmap of the Indian Plastics Industry for Viksit Bharat” conference hosted by AIPMA, industry experts and key stakeholders shared valuable insights into the current and future trajectory of the Indian plastics sector. The event highlighted that the industry is at a critical juncture, facing the dual challenge of adapting to global shifts in plastic usage, recyclability standards, and exports while navigating the complexities of the Indian market. One of the most significant takeaways for me was the growing urgency to bridge the gap in producing high-quality recycled plastics for flexible packaging. With EPR laws soon to become mandatory both in India and internationally, the need for innovative solutions is more pressing than ever. While RPET recycling has seen considerable progress, flexible packaging continues to pose a challenge due to factors such as inks, coatings, and the various contaminants introduced during post-consumer use. The conference highlighted the necessity for substantial innovation and investment to address these challenges and produce high-quality recyclates for flexible packaging. Overall, it was an incredibly insightful event that reinforced the importance of government support and industry collaboration to create a sustainable and globally competitive future for Indian plastics and packaging industry. #aipma #recycling #plastics # packaging #epr #circulareconomy #ppwr

R&D is often underfunded in Indian businesses, but at Jhaveri Flexo, we made it a priority. How? We created separate R&D and Quality Testing departments. At the time, many called it a mistake: “It will skyrocket costs.” “Unnecessary for a traditional business.” But looking back, it’s one of the best decisions we’ve made. Here’s why: Quality control demands immediate attention. When customers call with production issues or material concerns, the response has to be instant. These daily challenges, while critical, can easily take over your entire focus. That’s where innovation gets sidelined. By separating R&D from QC, we’ve ensured both get the attention they deserve. Our QC team handles the urgent. Our R&D team, free from day-to-day distractions, focuses on experimenting with: >Sustainable packaging  >New materials >Long-term innovations giving us competitive edge This balance has not only kept us agile but turned R&D into a business MOAT—allowing us to stay ahead in a competitive market. Because while quality control keeps you afloat, innovation builds the boat for the next decade. That’s how you turn today’s costs into tomorrow’s gains. Agreed? #leadership #lesson #business

https://lnkd.in/dcmqtYmm Emkay Flexipack When you are starting your business, your most concerned issue is of investment for making printed laminated pouch packaging material The most problematic is cylinder cost. Generally customers thick as wrong expense and so they are under stress for cylinder cost.Actually if you understand perfectly then your perception will be changed. Because cylinder cost is not cost or expense, it is an investment just like any type of machinery to manufacture your products. If you consider cylinder cost as investment there is no issue, because we can’t print packaging material without cylinder. There is a technology where one can print without cylinder but pouch cost becomes 3 to 4 times higher. It is called digital printing. There is again one more laser technology where pouch cost becomes 20 to 25 times higher.If you have very less investment then you can go for laser or digital printed pouch just as trial run in market, but ultimately you have to go for cylinder printing then only your per pouch cost will be on lower side.

Emkay Flexipack Full YouTube Video Link : https://lnkd.in/dFQfDGUm There are five factors to calculate cost.1. Material Type (2 Later or 3 later or other)2. Pouch Type (central seal, three side seal, side gusset, six side seal with gusset, standup pouch or standup with zipper pouch)3. Pouch Size4. Material Thickness (material thickness is measured in microns and as different layers, we need to know thickness of all laters5. Quantity required by you. We can make quantity starting from 150 kg to your requirement but rate varies quantity to quantity. Wastage proportion and time cost increases for lower quantity so we need to calculate considering all factors.These five factors are main but main important is which material to take is depends on the product to be packed so first point is the product. For example, if ghee is to be packed then thickness and quality of LD PE film is different than all other general products like tea and spices or grains. Liquid material needs special grade films. So every product has different packaging requirements so customer has to clarify all details then and then only one can provide perfect cost details. There is no menu for all packaging material price so talk to your printer with all details, you will get all perfect cost details.

Different Types of Glue Used on BOPP Tapes Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP) tapes are widely used in packaging and sealing due to their strength and durability. The effectiveness of these tapes heavily relies on the type of adhesive used. 1. Acrylic Adhesive 👍 Description: Acrylic adhesive is water-based and known for its transparency, UV resistance, and versatility. 👍 Function: Offers excellent adhesion to a variety of surfaces, including cardboard, plastics, and metals. It provides a strong bond, even in extreme temperatures. 👍 Application: Ideal for general packaging, sealing cartons, and mounting applications. It's also suitable for cold storage environments. 2. Hot Melt Adhesive: 👍Description: Hot melt adhesive is thermoplastic and applied in a molten state, solidifying upon cooling. 👍Function: Provides quick bonding and high initial tack. It offers superior adhesion to difficult surfaces and withstands high temperatures. 👍Application: Perfect for high-speed packaging lines, sealing heavy cartons, and bundling applications. 3. Solvent-Based Adhesive: 👍Description: Solvent-based adhesive consists of a solvent carrier and synthetic rubber or natural rubber components. 👍Function: Ensures strong adhesion to various substrates, including irregular surfaces. It offers excellent resistance to moisture and chemicals. 👍Application: Suitable for sealing cartons in humid environments, laminating applications, and bonding surfaces with low surface energy. Each type of adhesive used in BOPP tapes offers unique characteristics suited to different applications. Whether it's the transparency and UV resistance of acrylic adhesive, the quick bonding of hot melt adhesive, or the strong adhesion of solvent-based adhesive, there's a solution for every packaging need. Understanding the differences in these adhesives empowers businesses to choose the most appropriate option for their specific requirements. #BOPP #tape #BOPPtape #cartonsealing
