Our ongoing work with material optimisation in metal packaging

At Emballator, we continue to look for ways to reduce our environmental footprint while delivering reliable, high‑quality packaging. Material optimisation is a central part of this work, especially within metal packaging. The benefits are clear – lower resource use, reduced emissions and more efficient transport – but achieving meaningful reductions can be complex.

Material optimisation is an ongoing process that requires both innovation and practicality. Our teams are working steadily to refine our metal packaging designs, improving efficiency without compromising quality or performance.

“The challenges of material optimisation fuel our team’s innovation and determination,” says Roger Kasselstrand, Product Manager at Emballator Metal Group. “We see these obstacles as opportunities to push boundaries while keeping an optimistic view of the future.”

The sectors we serve – from food to chemicals and paint – add further complexity. Each industry has its own requirements and regulations, which means our optimisation strategies must be tailored. In some cases, we have calculated a 14% CO₂‑equivalent saving by reducing material in a pail and lid.

While the work can be challenging, our commitment to sustainability keeps us moving forward. It strengthens our determination to meet customer needs, navigate regulatory demands and continue improving our products.

Our focus on sustainable innovation guides every decision. It reinforces our role as a trusted partner in long‑term, responsible packaging solutions. As we keep developing our material optimisation efforts, we invite our customers and partners to join us in shaping a more sustainable future – one package at a time.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue our optimisation journey and deepen our commitment to sustainability across Emballator.
