Germany The defining theme of KHS at the K Show will be how to combine process efficiency and sustainability, Kai Acker, CEO of KHS, emphasised the continuously growing demand in the food and beverage industry for packaging solutions that support efficient production processes and at the same time contribute to the protection of the environment while maintaining a high level of product protection.
With this in mind, a new PET bottle was developed, which will be presented for the first time at the K Show. T
he company combines various disciplines of its extensive know-how to create a unique container unparalleled to date. With this concept, KHS is consistently pursuing its strategy of reduction, recycling and reuse and for this purpose has concluded a partnership with an environmental service provider. These systems are not only able to effectively process recycled plastic, they are also hallmarked by energy and resource efficiency – from the stretch blow molder to palletiser.
The fact that system provider KHS at the same time designs the entire process chain efficiently and sustainably is also demonstrated by its line solutions for PET processing.
With the Bottles & Shapes programme, KHS is also furthering its developments along the entire production chain. Not only the initial ideas, drawings and 3D animations are developed for the desired bottle, but also prototypes, individual sample bottles and durable blow molds.
Here again, reducing the use of materials and thus protecting the environment in cooperation with the customer is one of the company’s central aims.
As a system provider, KHS always has its finger on the pulse of the times with its topics, asserted Acker. “We provide support for conversion to environmentally friendly and resource-conserving types of packaging. Our portfolio offers concrete solutions for further promoting the concept of sustainability.”
