As one of the winners, I was honoured to attend the WorldStar Awards 2025 Ceremony in Milan, Italy. It was the first time I saw over 400 packaging scholars, experts, and corporate representatives from all over the world gathered in the same hall. So existing!
Our award-winning solution, in collaboration with Schaeffler in the Czech Republic, focused on optimizing packaging for two types of water pumps, replacing a plastic blister tray with a fully recyclable FSC-certified corrugated cardboard insert.
Our new design delivers substantial environmental and operational benefits:
- Doubling pallet capacity: Increased from 96 to 192 units and up to 256 for smaller parts.
- Reducing CO2 emissions: Savings of 2,500 tons over the 7-year project lifecycle.
- Streamlining operations: Lowering transport, storage, and handling costs while minimizing waste management efforts.
