With the "Single-Component Multi-Layer Film" Bag-making Innovation, HCI Enters a new Chapter of the "Circular Economy"

HCI Converting Equipment Co., Ltd. has excelled in the global market that requires great flexibility, with a belief in effectively meeting the widest range of needs in the flexible packaging market and practical experience for over 40 years. As a professional manufacturer of bag making, slitting, laminating, and rewinding machines, HCI has followed the global trend of "circular economy" and continues to collaborate with customers in over 108 countries to develop more efficient, economical, and environmentally friendly packaging and sealing innovation. HCI expects to gradually replace some of the current multi-layer flexible packaging materials with "Single-Component Based" to a new future of 100% recyclable flexible plastic packaging.

HCI bag-making equipment is in sync with Sustainability Trends
Multilayer single component film, an alternative solution has gradually emerged in recent years and are now being used in instant food, frozen packaging, medical, toy, and other packaging applications. The majority of it is based on PE or PP currently. In response to the EU's 2030 plastic reduction target, HCI has successfully developed and adjusted the mechanical structure and control system of the bag-making machine to assist customers to adapt to the bag-making process of this new generation material.

The use of single-component materials for mass production poses a significant challenge. Manufacturers must meet common food packaging requirements such as light-blocking, airtightness, water resistance, printing, sealing, and so on. The significant difficulty deters many machinery manufacturers. HCI has the technology and experience to compensate of material properties as the process approaches the limits of the supplier of materials' control, can assist customers in entering international markets with ease by providing precise temperature control, temperature equalization, and mechanical adjustments to meet new environmental requirements and regulations.

"Circular Manufacturing" and "Easy Recycling" - New Flexible Packaging Trends

Although there are many unresolved issues in the flexible packaging for food and medical industry with single-component multi-layer film, "increasing the recycling rate" and fulfilling "zero waste" are excellent starting points and goals; as the old saying goes, "we are not afraid of the long way if the direction is right." We are actively responding by developing recycling policies. HCI would like to work with its customers in the hope that the international community will be able to create a sustainable environment together in the near future.
