INNOVATION

Why hexagonal shape?

Huge savings in space

Manufacturing, transportation, warehousing, retail, consuming and recycling

hexagonal
(13*11) + (12*11) = 275 pcs

cylinder
12*18 = 216 pcs

EUR Pallet 1200mm×800mm

diff 59 pcs  = 27 %

e.g. 27% in case of EUR pallet

Why biocomposite?

Sustainability:

• Biodegradable raw material
  
• Potentially locally grown
• Renewable
• Possible to recycle
• Resulting net carbon dioxide reduction

Minimizing environmental and other risks:

• For contamination during the supply chain, storage and transports
• Compared to bauxite mining for aluminum cans
• Compared to oil drilling for PET-bottles, especially oil reserves are depleting
• Recent changes in geopolitical situations have also pointed out the importance of the country risk in global supply chains!
