Fuji Seal Pioneers Sustainable Packaging with Innovative SSL Solutions

Fuji Seal, a pioneering packaging company, is uniquely positioned to support global customers in achieving their sustainability targets. With a rich history in shrink sleeve sealing (SSL), the company continues to innovate and adapt to regulatory changes such as the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR).

Fuji Seal's journey in sustainability began in the 1960s with the introduction of SSL, a widely adopted solution for eco-friendly packaging. In 2006, the company introduced polyolefin (PO) sleeves, which float during recycling and separate cleanly from PET bottles, enhancing the recycling process.

The company's commitment to innovation is evident in its development of thinner films for SSL, reducing plastic use without compromising performance. This, coupled with its RecShrinkTM sleeve, which can be recycled once washable inks are removed, significantly increases PET recovery rates.

Fuji Seal's HS Tunnel is another testament to its dedication to sustainability. This technology can cut energy use by up to 80% and water by up to 95% compared to steam tunnels, providing a carbon-neutral solution. The company's expertise spans materials, printing, and application machinery, enabling it to help brands cut waste and save energy.

Fuji Seal's unique position as a single partner for customers worldwide is strengthened by its pioneering spirit and commitment to sustainability. Its innovations in SSL, including PO sleeves and RecShrinkTM, along with its energy-efficient HS Tunnel, demonstrate its ability to boost circularity in packaging through recyclability, resource efficiency, and carbon reduction. As regulations like the PPWR continue to evolve, Fuji Seal is well-positioned to prepare brand owners for the future.
