Mondi makes it a (pallet) wrap with Robopac Courtesy- Venus Packaging

Mondi, a global leader in sustainable packaging and paper, has partnered with Robopac, a world-leading manufacturer of pallet-wrapping machinery, to offer a seamless and more sustainable paper wrapping solution for pallet storage and transportation.

The two organisations collaborated closely to develop the solution, combining Mondi’s expertise in packaging and paper with Robopac’s know-how about wrapping machines. Robopac’s new paper wrapping machine uses Mondi’s advantage StretchWrap which is 100% kraft paper, delivering excellent protection for palletised goods due to high strength, puncture resistance and tension absorption. The paper is created with responsibly sourced, renewable materials, containing no plastic or coating making it fully recyclable in existing waste streams across Europe.

Robopac’s semi-automated and fully automated machines can both take Mondi’s advantage StretchWrap, allowing customers to replace unnecessary plastic which is currently the industry standard for pallet wrapping. An independent life cycle assessment (LCA) demonstrated that Advantage StretchWrap performed better in several environmental impact categories, such as climate change. The LCA found that it has 62% lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions when compared to virgin plastic stretch film, and 49% lower GHG emissions when compared to plastic stretch film made with 50% recycled content.

The semi-automatic machine is able to process a 25kg reel of advantage StretchWrap to secure up to 40 pallets with one reel, every hour. The fully automated wrapping machine, meanwhile, can wrap up to 750 pallets with one reel, which equates to up to 60 pallets per hour. This solution was introduced at the 2023 Interpack fair, where delegates could witness first-hand the genuine, successful trials on the prototype.

“We highly value the collaboration on eye-level with Robopac including a great exchange of expert knowledge, having similar core values within our companies. Close collaboration with our partners is key to transition to sustainable packaging solutions, therefore working with Robopac is truly driving our progress towards a circular economy and provides our customers a combination of state-of-the-art machinery with best quality wrapping paper,” said Bartosz Babicz, product manager StretchWrap, Flexible Packaging Mondi

Filiberto Felici, Robopac product manager adds, “Our biggest challenge was to adapt the paper material to the packaging operations, while ensuring maximum stabilisation of the customer’s products during transportation with minimum use of resources. Using our own unique cube technology, we achieve maximum load stabilisation and are very satisfied with the effectiveness of our machines’ performances in conjunction with Mondi’s Advantage StretchWrap.”
