Responding to the industry wide drive towards sustainability, Bossong SpA has introduced the patented FOIL PACK system, which the company highlights uses 80% less plastic, 12% less emissions, as well as 50% less of waste in terms of volume.
For the past three years Bossong has focused on creating this sustainable system, with a special focus on maintaining mechanical performance, level of price, ease of use, as well as environmental characteristics of the product. This is also important due to the challenges of the European Green Deal for all industrial sectors in Europe. In addition, one of the new pillars of the upcoming Construction Product Regulation (CPR) will take into account the product’s environmental aspects.
Bossong explains: “We know that we are part of the change, so have focused our energies and resources in this new product. With the FOIL PACK, we have created a solution focused on customer demands in the building sector.”
As part of this commitment, Bossong has reduced the rigid plastic component of the packaging, with at least 65% of recycled plastic being used in accordance with the target fixed by the PPWR regulation for 2040, as well as removing redundant packaging including the cap.
The FOIL PACK system is suitable for use in combination with a reusable aluminium adaptor, which is compatible with the standard silicon caulking gun – both manual and battery versions. All these improvements and benefits are aimed at reducing resources both in the production, transport and ‘end of life’ phases of the product.
