We believe: Reuse is the way to go! According to the EU, reusable packaging is a product that has been developed, produced and circulated in such a way that enables it to be used again. Simply put, this is packaging that has been designed in such a way that, despite repeated use and cleaning, it remains functional over the long term. Various advantages accrue: It eliminates any concerns the consumer may have regarding responsible disposal of the packaging. The consumer no longer has to deal with the question as to which bin to select for used packaging. Instead, the consumer knows that they can keep the packaging, clean it and then reuse it. Taking this into account, reusable products offer an outstanding opportunity to improve the sustainability balance.
Smart packaging solutions from SPIES are durable, reusable and full of information. As an alternative to throwaway articles, this is one of our solutions for the reduction of single-use plastic packaging in order to protect the environment. Thanks to our innovative production technology, an endlessly rewritable RFID chip (NFC/UHF) has been completely enclosed in plastic and is thus protected against moisture, damage or deliberate removal.
The information on the chip can be read by all common reading devices, such as your own smartphone and it enables, for example, precise identification of the article. In addition, you can apply a digital watermark to the label or apply it to the entire surface of the product. This can be used as an additional data carrier just as the familiar QR code on a printed image. Thanks to the use of a long-life IML label, SPIES reusable products can withstand maximum stress loads, they are durable, dishwasher-safe, and they offer customised design options.
Smart packaging solutions from SPIES are universally applicable (e.g. gastronomy, logistics, multi-use systems) and they are available in the specific article geometry that you require.
