Reduce Packaging in an environmentally friendly Way

Concentrates in solid or liquid form are used in the food, cosmetics, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries to reduce the transport volume of certain products. Some examples include milk powder or instant coffee. In powder form, these are more durable and easier to use, as they fit into smaller packages. This reduces transport volume and CO₂ emissions. In addition, they take less space to store. Concentrates are therefore of great importance and support a basic principle of sustainability: reduction.

A concentrate has a minimal amount of water. The weight and size of the substance are reduced to a minimum. The concentrate is transported and enriched with water immediately before use. This reduces the transport effort by up to 90 percent. The use of fewer transport vehicles such as ships or truck means significantly lower CO2 emissions. Concentrates are thus an important contribution to climate protection.

Optima's core competence is the high-precision filling of liquid and solid concentrates. Both with large containers and the smallest packaging sizes for our customers. Optima's extremely precise filling technologies also reduce product loss to a minimum. Refill solutions are also possible with our machine solutions. Concentrates are sold in a simple, environmentally friendly packaging, while the application is carried out in the in the more elaborate original packaging. Examples of refill solutions can be found in the market segments of detergents and cosmetics.
