8440-2254 In order to reduce the use of disposable lunch boxes and other packaging materials in the takeout catering industry and reduce the pollution of plastic products to the environment, ABB and Guangxi Fospai Environmental Protection Technology Co., LTD., through robot automation technology, accelerate the production of plant-based agricultural waste into degradable packaging materials, reduce the impact on the environment, and create a low-carbon society.
Due to the large amount of use and improper disposal of plastic products, plastics have become a “great invention” at the beginning of their birth, and now a major problem that causes serious harm to the environment. With the continuous advancement of materials research, new degradable packaging materials provide a sustainable solution to the problem of single-use plastics. Biodegradable packaging materials break down naturally over time, reducing the amount of plastic waste in landfills and oceans. The biodegradable packaging materials produced by Fospai are derived from bagasse in the surrounding sugar production base, and through mass recycling and reproduction, they produce paper bowls, plates, cups, lunch boxes and other containers widely used in the take-out industry, which can effectively replace disposable plastic packaging.
“ABB has provided us with more than 200 high-performance robots to p8440-2254 erform tasks such as wet press blanking, fast sorting and palletizing, increasing production efficiency by 100 percent and reducing energy costs by up to 30 percent through their superior speed, stability and precision,” said Jason Hui, vice president of Fospai.
“One of the key advantages of using robots for production is their flexibility and scalability. Robots can be programmed to perform a variety of tasks, and this flexibility also makes it possible to produce customized packaging materials. ABB’s extensive robotics experience can be tailored to meet customers’ diverse needs.” Stefan Drakensjo, global Head of market and sales for ABB’s Robotics industry business unit.
At present, the robotic automated production line in the Guest factory of Fospai can process about 40,000 tons of sugarcane pulp per year, with an annual output of 35,000 tons, while successfully achieving a combined reduction in labor costs and individual manufacturing costs. The degradable paper and plastic industry has 8440-2254 a huge market potential, through low-cost, environmentally friendly and efficient robot solutions, further strengthen the efficiency of resource utilization, can help the development of circular economy, achieve the long-term goal of low-carbon and sustainable production, and move towards a bright future of sustainable and high-quality development.
Fospai is not only committed to promoting the sustainable production and development of food packaging materials in China, but also plays an important role in promoting sustainable development on a global scale. Every year, about 80% of Fospai’s products are exported to Europe and the Americas, and it has a diverse customer base around the world. In the future, FOspai also plans to build a new production base of straw fiber tableware, and ABB robots will continue to support Fospai’s environmental initiatives and work with Fospai to create a greener and healthier world.
