Muhr & Söhne receives the Worldstar Global Packaging Award in Bangkok

Muhr & Söhne GmbH & Co. KG in cooperation with Sika has achieved a significant success in the field of sustainable packaging innovations.

The newly developed recyclable tinplate cartridge "MUHR-TinKart" was honored with the prestigious Worldstar Global Packaging Award. The award ceremony took place on June 15, 2024 in Bangkok, Thailand

 

After winning the German Packaging Award (Deutscher Verpackungspreis) and the Cans of the Year Award 2023, this international recognition is another major accolade and underlines Muhr & Söhne's outstanding expertise in the development of sustainable and environmentally friendly packaging solutions.

The new tinplate cartridge for silicone, acrylic and other adhesives and sealants represents a major step forward in the field of sustainable packaging and offers almost 100% recyclability.

By using bluemint® packaging steel with a higher proportion of scrap material, our packaging provides a significant contribution to the circular economy and the reduction of CO2 emissions.

 

 

MUHR-TinKart, the world's first tinplate cartridge in standard dimensions

Our tinplate cartridge is the first of its kind worldwide to come in standard dimensions and is compatible with existing filling systems and application equipment.

Thanks to its magnetic properties, it can be easily separated in the waste stream and recycled without any loss of quality. This innovative solution complies with the requirements of the new EU regulations for sustainable packaging. These regulations aim to make all packaging recyclable, reduce harmful substances, minimize unnecessary packaging, increase the percentage of recycled material and improve collection and recycling processes.

The tests for this new sustainable packaging solution were successful, and the full-scale market launch is planned for January 2025.

The commitment of Muhr & Söhne and Sika towards sustainability is clearly demonstrated by this recyclable packaging solution. We are proud to be at the cutting edge of innovation and helping to lead the packaging industry into an environmentally friendly future.
