    Biopack

    Biopack from Logimarkt offers a plant-based protective packaging alternative to expanded polystyrene. Similar in appearance and performance, Biopack is a clear choice in terms of sustainability. This is due to the use of materials of organic origin.

    This eco-friendly packaging consists of corn waste. It is a by-product of corn processing unsuitable for food production. Enriched with natural binding agents, Biopack can meet unique customer demands. It offers custom sizes for various packaging needs, such as bottle and organic boxes.

    Biopack stands out for its bio-degradable nature. Its special feature is that it decomposes fast after consumption. This green packaging solution is suitable for sustainable packaging. It can become compost or disposal in the organic waste bins. In this way, it releases CO2 absorbed prior during the growing cycle of the maize plant. Biopack is more sustainable than traditional polystyrene. It has a substantial reduced CO2 footprint, emitting 51% less CO2 over its life cycle. This makes it an eco-friendly choice and a versatile and sustainable packaging solution for many applications.

    Versatile Applications of Biopack

    2. Inlay Packaging: This type of packaging is tailored to the client’s requirements. It offers an ideal solution for protecting small or fragile items during transit and storage. A few such examples are electronics, glass products, or beverages.
    3. Delivery Packaging: Organic based boxes are suitable for transporting food. The packaging benefits from heat-insulating properties. It has the advantages of expanded polystyrene.
    4. Pharma Packaging: Biopack’s thermal insulation makes it a reliable choice for the pharma industry. It is a safe and durable packaging for temperature sensitive products.

    Key Benefits of Biopack

    • Eco-friendly: Biopack is an ecological solution that carries heat-sensitive goods with minimal impact on the environment.
    • Durable and Insulating: Similar properties to Styrofoam or Airpop. Biopack has impact resistance and insulation along with a similar feel and structure to the materials mentioned.
    • Antistatic: Ensures safe transit of sensitive electronic items.
    • 100% Biodegradable: Logimarkt’s commitment to sustainable solutions reflects in the compostable nature of Biopack.
    • Economical: Biopack saves costs compared to expanded polystyrene (EPS) packaging. It reduces acquisition, disposal and licensing costs.
    • Insulation Performance: This material provides similar insulation to EPS. Biopack consists of 100% bio-degradable materials, and it is safe to transport food or pharma goods.
    • Lightweight: Its EPS-like consistency and structure make Biopack a light packaging solution.

  • Durable and protective biofilm cushioning for safe transports of furniture items

    Eco-Friendly Protective Foam – Buffer Cushioning for Packaging

    The Bio-blocks represent a solution for securing items during transit or storage. They ensure the safety and integrity of fragile and delicate goods. These eco-friendly blocks are protective, user-friendly, and reusable. Their adaptable design allows for molding into any desired shape. This way, they provide a long-lasting and cost-effective solution that reduces inventory expenses and saves time.

    Bio-blocks are 3 cm high and have a perforated design attached to a sheet. They provide a durable cushioning method for packaging objects. They further align with the principles of eco-friendly packaging. The impact on the environment and safety of goods is no longer a concern with these blocks.

    Application Methods:

    Bio-blocks, combined with a biofilm, create a patented, protective sheet. It delivers unique shock absorption. The sheets, comprising five pads in width, can be extended to any preferred length. The product’s design facilitates its ease of use. It has simple application and removal processes for efficient packaging. Whether used with a packaging machine or by hand, these blocks offer versatile and effective protection. They can fold for various uses such as:

    1. Surrounding each item or lining package walls for optimal product protection.
    2. Folding or wrapping the sheet for versatile applications.
    3. Custom shaping for specific package requirements, like corner placement or as dividers.

    Bio-blocks are suitable for a variety of shapes, sizes and weights due to their flexible nature. They provide an effective fit for electronics, furniture, tools, decorations, small parts and fragile items. This adaptable solution reduces the need for specific design, tooling and inventory, and saves time and costs.

    Reusable and Environmentally Conscious:

    Patented bio-block plates can be reused. This is due to their universal design and non-product-specific nature. This leads to more efficient packaging routines and less material consumption. Production costs for packaging components reduce, as well. They are certified to be 100% bio-degradable according to EN13432. This guarantees that they break down into harmless substances for the environment. This ensures a minimal eco-footprint.

    Bio-blocks represent a sustainable, efficient, and cost-effective packaging solution. It aligns with eco-conscious values and practices.

  • Safe transport of electronics with protective cellulose trays

    Cellulose Pulp Trays

    Over the past decade, dissolving pulp has made significant progress. This is due to the growing demand for regrind pulp. In particular, it is viscose fibres. Pulp is a crucial component in the pulp and paper industry. It comes in large quantities. It is an integral part of creating sustainable packaging solutions. Pulp, used in packaging, consists of water and recycled paper. To enhance its properties, additives get mixed in. These give the pulp qualities such as moisture resistance, colour and shock resistance.

    Eco-Friendly Impact: Moulded cellulose originates from 100% natural fibres or biomass. This way, it is an environmentally friendly choice. Its production process lowers the use of natural resources and emphasizes the use of recycled fibres. Throughout its lifecycle, it has a positive impact on the environment by eliminating non-polluting discharges.

    Versatility in Applications: Moulded cellulose can be transformed into a diverse range of products. They are suitable for various applications, such as food containers, industrial inserts, cup holders, and trays.

  • The packaging industry relies on petroleum-based polymers to produce films, rigid containers, foam containers and various components for food, medicine and other uses. It is now facing a fundamental change. Sensitive environmental concerns, a deeper understanding of greenhouse gas emissions and their harmful effects, the challenges associated with disposal and landfill, and rising oil prices are driving the industry to move towards sustainable packaging solutions. In this context, bio-based materials, derived from biological sources rather than oil, emerge as ideal materials to meet these new sustainability criteria. While paper and other bio-based materials have long been used in the packaging sector, there is a growing need for more efficient and innovative solutions.

    To realize sustainable packaging, the development of new bio-based materials, including biopolymers, is crucial. This will complement and enhance the existing bio-based packaging options.

    The key advantage of bio-based packaging lies in its lifecycle: these materials serve as viable alternatives to regular packaging during their use. They can be recycled at the end of their service life without leaving a significant environmental footprint. This approach not only addresses current environmental challenges but paves the way for a more sustainable future in packaging.
