The container

Four companies joined forces to make new steps towards a more sustainable packaging industry. BMB, Brink, iPB Printing and Dijkstra Plastics collaborated in this project with a bio-based container produced on a fully automated, electric injection moulding machine with IML label.

Four companies joined forces to take new steps towards a more sustainable packaging industry. BMB, Brink, iPB Printing and Dijkstra Plastics collaborated in a project involving a bio-based container manufactured on a fully automated, electric injection moulding machine with IML label. Reducing the carbon footprint of the packaging industry is a huge challenge. Plastics are found all over the world, and their durability is their strength as well as their major drawback. That is why optimizing processes in the plastic packaging industry, besides being a shared objective for the companies mentioned, is a goal that will benefit the entire planet. We’re committed to making a difference. Will you join us?

BMB
BMB – the injection moulding machine will show on the Kunststoffen exhibition the eKW16Pi/700 full electric, a high-performance machine with low energy consumption for the production of thin-walled food containers, with IML technology.
BMB was founded in 1967 by the Bugatti family and is still under their direct ownership and management.BMB develops and supplies injection molding machines in the range of 1,000 to 48,000 kN for every application.
The fully electric injection molding machines are available from 1,000 to 18,000 kN and the Hybrid fast runners are available from 1,000 to 28,000 kN.

This little container is the smallest packaging container in our product range, which goes up to 60 litres! The main strength of this specific container is that it is made from Biobased Polypropylene: a very sustainable material gathered from bio-based sources. This little container is therefore allowed to bear the ISCC+ (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification) title.

Brink

Brink supplies injection molds with automation solutions, which our customers use to produce plastic products, usually packaging. From yogurt bucket to ice cream cup and from paint pot to flower box.
We are a total solver for our customer, which is expressed in thinking along or drafting a product design to complete integration of the customer’s injection molding machine with molds and automation from Brink. The output of the production lines and the quality of the products of our customers are constantly being raised by: camera control, self-correcting label adjustment and packaging directly in the box and on the pallet.
