PACKAGING/PALLETISING PETplanet Insider Vol. 24 No. 09/23 www.petpla.net 36 For the evolving food market Combined packaging machine PACKAGING For the packaging processes within its production lines, in Spain and around the world, Pascual has been collaborating with SMI for years. An example of such a partnership is represented by the recent supply of a combined packaging machine from the CM 800 FP range, installed at the Gurb plant, Barcelona, for the packaging of Pascual milk bottles, in wrap-around cardboard boxes and in tray + film and film only formats, with the use of 100% recycled shrink film. Environmental sustainability Pascual has taken a further step forward, in its environmental sustainability goals, becoming the first company in Castilla y León, and the first dairy company in Spain to register, in 2020, its direct and indirect emissions (only 12% of companies do so) of CO2 at the Spanish Office for Climate Change (OECC). Pascual will further improve the recyclability and sustainability of containers, of all its brands, by using the new “anchored” cap. This anticipates forthcoming legislation that represents a real challenge for the “packaging” industry, since the directive also establishes that plastic bottles must contain at least 25% recycled plastic, a parameter that some brands such as Bezoya already reach, 100%. This Spanish company is testament to the strength of passion and energy put in place to benefit the well-being of earth, animals and mankind. From these synergies, unique and quality products are produced, that are packaged by the packaging machines supplied by SMI, because “doing the best we can” also means pursuing continuous improvement in the solutions offered to consumers: new products, new taste combinations, new packaging solutions, new packaging. In Aranda de Duero, in the Spanish province of Burgos, everything revolves around the concepts of environment, culture, tradition and well-being. In the heart of this fascinating territory of northern Spain lies the headquarters of the Pascual company, a reference point in the food sector, which within the concept of “Doing the best we can” contains all its history, made of passion, tradition, quality and innovation.
