As sustainability goals accelerate across manufacturing and distribution, many organizations are re-evaluating materials used in end-of-line packaging operations. Case sealing, often overlooked, offers measurable opportunities to cut virgin plastic use and reduce material waste without compromising seal integrity.
In this educational session, experts from Shurtape Technologies, LLC, will explore practical strategies to reduce environmental impact in both automated and manual case-sealing operations. Attendees will learn how recycled-content film and curbside recyclable paper tape technologies compare, how to implement sustainable technologies with ease and how optimizing tape application can reduce overall material consumption. Real-world examples will illustrate how manufacturers are aligning sustainability initiatives with operational efficiency at the end of the packaging line.
Learning Objectives:
- End-of-line case sealing is a practical lever for reducing virgin plastic and packaging waste.
- Sustainable material choices must balance environmental goals with case seal performance.
- Optimizing tape application reduces waste while improving operational efficiency.
