As circularity is so important in the field of packaging, the Environment Division of the Schwarz Group is also working together with Koehler Paper on developing new paper and packaging. An interview with Dietmar Böhm, Member of the Board at PreZero International, about the importance of paper and the shared goals of the two partners.
Read moreThe Koehler Group and Europe’s largest converter of checkout rolls, the Schades Group, have been working in partnership for decades. The products supplied by Koehler to Schades include kilometer-long rolls of sustainable Blue4est® thermal paper that Schades cuts into small checkout rolls and subsequently supplies to retail outlets, among other customers. In this interview, Marcel Bergmann, CEO of the Schades Group, talks about what makes the partnership with Koehler so successful and the sustainability goals that unite the two companies.
Read more“Circular value creation” is a hot topic in this day and age. This process represents an alternative to linear value creation and “chug and chuck” models that rely on essentially infinite stocks of raw materials. Both Germany and Europe as a whole are dependent on imports of raw materials, so it is in their interest to implement the concept of circular value creation. Paper is a good example of a successful circular economy; wastepaper can be turned into new paper again and again.
The Koehler Group is part of this circular value chain. We offer future-proof products in the form of flexible packaging paper made using renewable raw materials. Unlike other packaging materials, they can easily be recycled after use.
In the circular economy model, mechanical recycling, i. e., the reuse of the material as-is, sits right at the top of the hierarchy. However, if the costs outweigh the benefits and mechanical recycling is not feasible, as is the case with waste wood, then the waste products may be used to produce energy instead. With the takeover of the majority of Zollikofer GmbH & Co. KG, we have significantly expanded our expertise in the area of the procurement, trade, and processing of biomass.
