Summary
Agil Packaging System, S.L. (AGILPACK) reinvents the Major Household Appliances Packaging System (refrigerators, washing machines, dishwashers) replacing Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) with alveolar bubble wrap packaging pieces made from a new type of material: multilayer film.
AGILPACK has developed the patented APS flexible system with the following characteristics: replaces packaging solutions using EPS with a new concept based on Bubble Multilayer Film; packaging comprises a set of three-dimensional parts formed by airtight bubbles made from film; it is a complete system including parts design software and machinery, installed at the end of client’s line.
The Advantages for clients of APS system compared to actual ones are: APS solution has 30% lower cost than conventional EPS packaging; it is a flexible system because alveolar plastic bubble film parts are custom-made, on-site and on demand; it has a much better sustainability and lower carbon footprint; its easy recyclability leads to a circular economy solution; it helps companies comply with the increasingly stringent regulatory laws of cities and EU for EPS use.
Wrapping bubble alveolar film parts have been produced and tested, a software for parts design and calculation has been designed, machine modules prototypes have been developed and tested and the system is ready for optimization at industrial pilot level in a client’s plant.
The market target is the bulky white line household appliances packaging sector accounting for more than €177 million in EU and €2.3 billion worldwide.
APS highly scalable system will allow AGILPACK, by 2024, to be servicing 16 clients’ plants and to reach a total turnover of €50.9 million.
