watttron wins the Sustainability Award 2021
Since May 2021 watttron has been able to call itself a “finalist” of the Sustainability Award 2021 and has been looking forward to the award ceremony at FachPack on September 29th
The award ceremony took place on Wednesday evening as part of Fachpack 2021 on the exhibition grounds in Nuremberg. The Sustainability Awards are presented once a year in a total of eight different categories. This year there was a record turnout of 309 applications worldwide. Watttron was named the winner by the jury in the “machinery category” with its innovative digital sealing tools.
In this category, the technology company from Freital prevailed alongside the companies Ecoshell and Inspecta Be from Italy and Frugal Bottle Assembly Machine from Ukraine.
“We are very happy that we were selected as the winner of this internationally known competition for sustainability in the packaging industry,” says Ronald Claus von Nordheim, CPO of watttron GmbH. “The last two days of the trade fair at Fachpack have shown that with our digital sealing systems we can offer real added value and a major contribution to
achieving the sustainability goals of the entire packaging industry for both machine manufacturers and end users.”
The jury of experts chose watttron as the winner in their category because the innovative sealing systems guarantee stable processing of recyclable mono-plastic films as well as biobased and recycled materials without any loss of efficiency. They are also an important building block for expanding the circular economy. Sustainability and efficiency, especially when it comes to packaging, are precisely the issues that drive watttron. With the use of watttron technology, resources can be saved.
The Saxon technology startup watttron develops and produces novel heating systems that are used in industrial processes for precise temperature control. The patented heating technology enables, among other things, the optimization of packaging in terms of material and energy use. The process allows precise temperature control even for large areas to be heated, thus facilitating the processing of bio-based and recycled materials.
