Thanks to production based on monomaterials: Non-mixed recyclability for resource-saving circular economy.
The requirements placed on modern packaging solutions are diverse and complex. At SPIES, we focus on innovation and sustainability in the areas of Recycle, Reduce & Reuse so that we can develop forward-looking packaging.
Our solutions are flexible, resource-saving, recyclable and reusable. We take account of all important factors – from design and material composition through purchase volumes, right up to environmental compatibility and usability.
Whether it is for customised designs, the selection of sustainable materials, or the optimisation of packaging for different production volumes – we develop tailored solutions that are both environmentally friendly and functional. We use recyclable materials and optimised packaging concepts that conserve resources and, at the same time, meet the highest ecological standards.
SPIES combines flexibility, innovation and responsibility. With us as your partner, you get packaging that meets the requirements of today and that also promotes a sustainable future for humans and nature.

The environmental awareness of our stakeholders is growing and, especially in the food industry, the demand for innovative and sustainable packaging solutions is increasing. At SPIES, we strive for sustainability and innovation, and we develop our products in line with the principle "as little as possible, as much as necessary" with the objective of protecting valuable foods and equally, meeting the needs of our world, its people and our partners to the greatest extent possible. This is what we mean by “Design for Sustainability”.
Design:
We develop packaging that is specially tailored to your application area.
Reduce:
Wherever it is possible to save weight, resources and materials without impacting the function of the packaging, we optimise geometry, shape and material.
Recycle:
We are setting standards with our recyclable monomaterials and this way, we are making a significant contribution towards an effective circular economy.
Research:
We continue to develop processes, tools and materials further and we make use of state-of-the-art technology.
Rethink:
As an innovation driver, we promote the standards of tomorrow and we educate and inform about recycling and resource conservation.
To achieve a functioning circular economy in the area of polypropylene, it takes more than an industry effort, relevant legislation, and established processes. The consumers also have a role to play. Many people are not aware of the most important properties of plastic packaging. Plastic as a material is light, it is easily processed, it is highly available, it is hygienic, safe and recyclable.
Compared with other packaging materials, plastic has numerous advantages that no other material provides in this combination. Especially with regard to weight, breakage resistance and stability, and also moisture resistance and impermeability, plastic is virtually irreplaceable.
After use, it is important to consider plastic packaging not as waste, but as a valuable raw material, and it must be disposed of correctly by consumers. This means that responsible handling of packaging and enlightenment of society about the issue are equally as important to achieve a functioning circular economy. As a manufacturer, we accept our share of the challenge and we create packaging to meet the highest standards.

PROTECTIONDuring transport, the packaging protects the product from damage and contamination.
EMOTION & ATTENTIONIf the packaging appeals to the customer, they will buy the product. As an eye catcher, the packaging ensures clear differentiation from the competition and promises pleasure with the contents.
SHELF LIFEDue to the increasing number of single households, shelf life and storage function are becoming increasingly important.
SUSTAINABILITYModern packaging is environmentally friendly, it is biodegradable, reusable or made from recycled materials.
InformationDisplaying all the desired information and the necessary information on minimal surface area, that is the challenge.
ConvenienceIntuitive use – opening, withdrawal, reclosing – is becoming increasingly a purchase criterion.
Transparency about socially and ethically correct processes within the supply chain.
As a forward-looking and proactive development partner of innovative packaging solutions, we are also supporters of the transformation processes of our customers. Consulting is a key part of our offering in order to ensure both partners are fit for the upcoming economic challenges and opportunities. We have the expertise to make your work easier – in many different areas. In close collaboration with our customers, we find the answers to relevant questions in advance. These relate, for example to material, production, storage and cost effectiveness of the packaging, to stability and attractiveness, to convenience for the consumer or to the recycling capability and origin of the materials. On the basis of these criteria and the associated influencing factors, we develop tailored packaging solutions.
