The future is written on the cardboard

We are looking at a model based on 4 fundamental pillars:

Sustainable forest management

Its raw material is not only renewable, but also ensures further growth of forests in Europe. These forests absorb additional CO2 from the atmosphere and store it equally in wood and cardboard. Virtually all cardboard boxes are now collected in Europe and go through the cycle from paper waste to raw material.

Clean, efficient and responsible production processes

Packaging must no longer leave any negative trace on the environment. Whenever possible, the packaging should be made from renewable resources and must be recyclable under any circumstance. And cardboard meets all these requirements.

The philosophy of recovery

Corrugated cardboard comes from a renewable raw material, which adapts to all kinds of shapes when designing packaging and, once it completes its circular cycle, it is recovered again through recycling.

Recycling

Its clear advantage in reuse and resource utilization has increased its appeal among a society increasingly concerned with the sustainability of the products it consumes and their environmental impact.

The cardboard industry is now emerging as a strategic element and a reliable partner for both business owners and consumers.

This surface represents a very flexible area of action for improving traceability, reducing operational times, costs, and human errors.

UBS maintains one of its main focuses on Cardboard box coding,
as it allows us to develop fully adaptable technology with multiple possibilities.

Our equipment allows customization and instant printing of any message, offering great freedom, dynamism and immediacy to make changes, resulting in significant cost savings compared to other printing systems.

We also add a constant commitment to the environment, using oil-based inks free of mineral oils, which, in addition to ensuring good absorption on this surface, reduce its harmful impact on the environment.

Ultimately, we are looking at the best surface for coding, design, customization… the list is endless.

And with increasing complexity of messages and options, packaging becomes an increasingly important factor on a productive and social level.

One of the most important challenges facing the packaging and cardboard industry by 2020 is increasing its sustainability and adapting to the digitalization and intelligence of consumer products.
