透明度和数据报告

Digital Packaging

SEE digital packaging and digital printing capabilities enable customers and consumers to see inside the supply chain through tracking codes pre-printed on packages. With transparency, SEE’s smart packaging and digital printing solutions are critical to unlocking efficiencies and reducing waste in processing and supply chain operations. Digital technologies are leveraged to improve efficiency within our operations, provide product identification and traceability, prevent product waste and damage across the supply chain, support recovery and recycling after use, and validate carbon reducing benefits to mitigate climate impacts.

环境产品声明

The use of an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for our products provides customers with an independently verified and registered document that communicates information about the environmental impact of a product over its lifecycle. This international protocol for assessing environmental impacts helps customers make climate-smart decisions and advises manufacturers on areas for improvement. SEE published an EPD for its SEALED AIR® brand Whisper® soundabsorbing acoustic panels. The EPD is based on a lifecycle analysis and follows the product category rules for construction products and services.

CRYOVAC® Brand FlexPrep® Portion-Dispensing Pouches

Created for foodservice operators as a sustainable, flexible alternative to traditional rigid containers, CRYOVAC® brand FlexPrep® portion-dispensing pouches hold emulsified sauces, condiments, and dressings. The low-density polyethylene (RIC 4) pouches are designed for recyclability. The degree of recyclability will vary depending on the scope and availability of flexible film collection, sortation, and recycling programs

A comparison of the pouches to rigid canisters revealed:

  • 减少了最高85%的后室调味品包装材料
  • 减小的运输案例大小,相等的调味料量高达46%
  • 与罐头相比,调味品产品收益率提高了8%
  • A decreased equipment footprint requiring less labor
  • 食物浪费碳足迹的减少大约五倍

通过查看自动化来减少资源浪费并提高生产率

CRYOVAC® Brand AutoVac 86 Automated Rotary Vacuum Chamber System

Cryovac®品牌Autovac 86自动旋转真空室系统包装新鲜和加工的肉类和奶酪。该系统的高级诊断和自动故障排除可以防止产品返工和包装浪费。智能过程监视可调节机器速度,从而降低能耗。

AUTOVAC 86系统的关键软件组件监视异常情况,这可能会导致包裹不良,产品丢失,材料浪费,劳动力不足以及其他关键问题。请参阅对当前客户数据进行的软件逻辑分析,其中五个或以上被认为是一个不好的软件包。该研究表明,该软件相当于分析的数据的总体效率提高3.7%,这意味着每100,000种包装的产品不会浪费3,700袋。该系统在高利用率下运行,可能会根据每年产生600万包包装的包装系列,每年最多可减少每行222,000的浪费。

自动化系统翻新计划

请参阅2009年创建的翻新计划,以延长Cryovac®品牌垂直形式填充系统的寿命,该系统在客户租赁过期后返回。自该程序开始以来,将大约200个系统(以柔性膜袋装包装液体食品)与辅助设备(例如输送带,泵和工具)一起进行了翻新。该计划的循环方法允许与制造新设备相比,可以看到库存,释放仓库空间并减少公司的环境和资源影响

Investing in Circularity

Advanced Recycling Collaboration

食品行业面临的一个关键挑战是使用具有严格卫生的包装材料来推动塑料的循环经济,这些材料对食品保护和分配有严格的卫生和性能要求。恢复这些必需包装材料需要除传统机械回收之外的创新回收解决方案。

A collaboration—the first of its kind in the U.S.—between SEE, ExxonMobil, and grocery retail group Ahold Delhaize USA is recycling flexible plastics from the food supply chain and remaking the materials into new, certified circular food-grade packaging. The project is helping to increase the use of recycled content by validating the technical and economic viability of a certified circular system based on advanced recycling technology and mass balance attribution. Flexible plastics are being designed to be collected, recycled, and repurposed into new food packaging. The project will help keep used flexible plastics out of landfills, increase the number of times essential plastics can be recycled, and ensure the safety and quality of packaged foods.

CRYOVAC® Brand OptiDure ODF Recycle Ready Vacuum Shrink Bag

与标准真空热成型包相比,Cryovac®品牌ODF回收现成的真空收缩袋是更薄,重量更轻的解决方案,可减少产品周围的多余包装和较低的环境影响。袋子的障碍延长了保质期,保障食品,并提供抗虐待的耐药性。Optidure阵容的新手是中等滥用的袋子,就像原始标准和优质的Optidure袋一样,可以回收利用,并且与聚乙烯的机械回收兼容。可回收性的程度将根据收集,分类和回收计划的范围和可用性而有所不同。

扩展到纸张和基于纤维的包装材料

BubbleWrap®品牌泡泡邮件

点头看到旗舰包装解决方案(原始BubbleWrap®品牌缓冲),BubbleWrap®品牌纸泡泡邮件邮件由带衬垫的泡泡状纸衬里构建。邮递员通过了西密歇根大学旧的波纹容器当量测试协议,使其获得了路边可回收性的认证。邮件的外层由See的可持续林业计划认证的造纸厂制成的100%再生纸制成。邮件的内部气泡形衬里是由纸质认证的纸质认证的纸张制成的。

Cryovac®品牌纤维形成网络

Cryovac®品牌纤维形成网是为新鲜海鲜的病例准备包装而设计的。非级式网络由90%的森林管理理事会认证的纸制成,不含含有多氟烷基物质的涂料。与刚性托盘相比,该轻量级解决方案减少了包装的总量,并且根据收集,分类和回收计划的范围和可用性而准备的回收利用。

Reducing Customer Carbon Footprint

Cryovac®品牌Hydroloq无垫地图托盘

The CRYOVAC® brand HydroLoQ padless MAP tray is designed to eliminate absorbent pads traditionally used in meat packaging. The tray is made from polypropylene (RIC 5) containing a minimum of 30% recycled content in clear trays and 50% recycled content in near-infrared black trays. The tray has been designated in Australia as curbside recyclable.

密封AIR®品牌I-PACK自动删除系统

密封的Air®品牌I-PACK自动化空隙系统生产一个用于电子商务订单的权利,路边可回收框。系统形成一个瓦楞纸托盘,将内容物插入其中,然后折叠托盘以创建特定于内容大小的纸箱。这种权利的操纵消除了填充材料并产生较小的包裹,从而减少了仓库的存储空间以及发货产品所需的卡车数量,这导致操作该系统的客户的碳足迹较低。

提供社会价值

Distributing COVID-19 Test Kits

As the pandemic continued into 2022, the U.S. government provided at-home, rapid COVID-19 tests to Americans for free. SEE was a major packaging supplier for transporting the COVID-19 tests. The company’s BUBBLE WRAP® brand cushioned poly mailers, BUBBLE WRAP® brand cushioned paper mailers, BUBBLE WRAP® brand original cushioning, and SEALED AIR® brand poly mailers, protected the test kits from damage during shipping to residences across the country.

Protecting Freezers for Vaccine Storage

大流行期间对超低温度冷冻剂的需求,因为共同19的mRNA疫苗需要储存,以维持超低温度。为了避免在全球运输过程中损坏敏感设备,请参阅量身定制的制造泡沫包装解决方案为过境期间的冰柜提供了有效的保护。
