SAIER Group: S-LINER PEEL – the environmentally friendly and clean bucket solution

Perfectly suited for removing filling material residues such as paint and varnish easily and in a resource-saving manner.

SAIER Verpackungstechnik is continuously working on improving the sustainability of plastic packaging. In addition to the reduction of packaging weights and the recyclability of packaging, its reuse potential is an important parameter influencing sustainability. In ecological terms, reuse is often particularly favorable when virtually no cleaning resources (water or cleaning aids) and no cleaning logistics are required.

The S-LINER PEEL, an interior peel film which can be manually removed from the interior surface of buckets, allows product residues to be removed quickly and easily together with the peel film without any additional aids and disposed of properly. The expert jury for the German Sustainability Award firstly rated as extremely positive the possibility of clean reuse of buckets and the considerable savings in drinking water consumption when cleaning containers together with the avoidance of waste water contamination through washed-out building materials. Secondly, the recyclability of buckets in a clean condition must be highlighted because the quality and purity of recyclates is extremely important for the eco- cycle. For example, product residues may interrupt the recycling process and reduce the quality of the secondary raw materials. The subsequently leads to so-called downcycling in which recyclates can only still be used for limited and more inferior application areas in terms of raw material quality. The objective is therefore to attain the cleanest possible packaging material, which contains no product residues, in accordance with genuine recycling management. SAIER Verpackungstechnik developed the S-LINER PEEL as a product which satisfies these requirements.

Since the S-LINER PEEL already won the 2021 German Packaging Award in the "Sustainability" category and the international 2022 WorldStar Global Packaging Award in the "Packaging Materials and Components" category, the German Sustainability Award 2023 in the "Packaging" category impressively re-emphasises the sustainability potential of the product development.
