The innovation developed together with Karl Knauer KG can revolutionize secondary packaging in the beverage segment and make an important contribution to reducing single-use plastic &#8211; the savings potential for Western Europe alone is enormous at 60,000 to 80,000 tonnes of shrink film per year. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"is-style-sans-serif wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"block-e2b683b8-cc89-46a3-a96f-a0df39f7bc54\">Product name:<strong> <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.krones.com\/en\/products\/machines\/litepac-sustainable-alternatives-to-foil-packs.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>LitePac<\/strong> <strong>top<\/strong><\/a><strong><br\/><\/strong>Manufacturer: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.krones.com\/en\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Krones AG<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.krones.com\/en\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Karl Knauer KG<\/a><\/strong><br\/>Project status: Concept \/\/ Prototype \/\/ Ready for market \/\/ <strong>Ready for series production<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"block-d30bca0c-929c-4f9d-880c-08374335c815\">Source: Krones AG<br\/>Image source: Krones AG<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paper secondary packaging for beverage multipacks LitePac Top The globally patented &#8220;LitePac Top&#8221; carton carrier [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":30,"featured_media":586059,"template":"","material_status":[1190],"material_category":[1414],"material_type":[2098,2187],"material_food":[2100,2101],"material_topic":[2139,2087,2104,2111,2086],"class_list":["post-729738","material","type-material","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","material_status-series-production-ready","material_category-paper-cardboard-carton","material_type-paper","material_type-recycled-paper-en-2","material_food-alcoholic-beverages","material_food-non-alcoholic-beverages","material_topic-alternative","material_topic-organic","material_topic-recycled-en","material_topic-renewable-en-2","material_topic-take-away-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.3 (Yoast SEO v28.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>MILK.
