Klingele honoured with the World Corrugated Award
The Klingele Paper & Packaging Group has been honoured with the World Corrugated Award 2019.
The Klingele Paper & Packaging Group, one of the leading independent manufacturers of corrugated base paper and corrugated packaging, has won the World Corrugated Award for a sales display for its customer Zarelo. In 2019, Klingele was honoured by the World Corrugated Award jury as the most environmentally friendly company among numerous competitors.
Klingele took part in the World Corrugated Award with an eco sales display for Zarelo, a supplier of fireplace lighters, which had already won first place in the "Display" performance group at the "Golden Wave" innovation award for Wellpappe. Klingele's concept has now taken first place in the "Best Design Innovation" category at the World Corrugated Award 2021. The requirements for packaging, especially in sales and logistics, are becoming increasingly demanding; against this backdrop, the award ceremony in this category is intended to highlight the growing importance of design innovations in the corrugated board industry and recognise teams and companies that bring pioneering concepts to the market. In addition to the criteria of innovation and design, the suitability in practical use, cost efficiency and complexity of the production process also played a role in the selection of the winners.
Promotional and recyclable
The eco-display for Zarelo impresses with its sales-promoting appearance as well as its environmental friendliness: high-quality flexographic printing and a top sign displaying the goods make the display an eye-catcher at the point of sale. An ingenious design opens up a second level as a presentation area that facilitates sales. Not only the display itself, but also the glued-on pallet feet are made of 100 per cent recyclable Wellpappe. A ready-made transport system with a corrugated cardboard pallet guide at the top and bottom also replaces the usual plastic strapping or stretch film - more environmental friendliness from production to transport to use at the point of sale is hardly possible. Once the items have been sold out, the entire display can be easily disposed of in waste paper
2019 Award for the most environmentally friendly company
The World Corrugated Award is a very special prize in the industry - which Klingele has now received for the second time. In 2019, the judges recognised Klingele as the world's most environmentally friendly company in the corrugated board industry. Klingele's consistently sustainable product and production strategy tipped the scales in its favour. It was not only the ecological product Wellpappe that played a role, but also the successful implementation of numerous measures for energy-efficient and resource-saving production, including the use of renewable energies and innovative technologies in production.
"We are delighted and very proud of this award, which shows what can be achieved by combining environmentally friendly materials and innovative design - and how companies and the environment ultimately benefit from the result. The fact that we were able to achieve first place in two important categories at the World Corrugated Award in such quick succession is a wonderful confirmation that our corporate and product philosophy provides the right answers to the key requirements of our time and our customers," says Dr Jan Klingele, Managing Director of the Klingele Paper & Packaging Group.
