LAHORE- (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News- 4th May 2019) Ecolean Pakistan is setting up a manufacturing facility at Sundar Industrial State, Lahore with the total investment from Ecolean for this project is 110 million US Dollars and the site will cater to the domestic market as well as export finished food packing products to other markets in Asia & the middle East.
With the Pakistani government focused on improving milk/dairy products quality, provide fresh/pasteurized milk to public and move to a safer packaging from the current loose milk market, Ecolean offers products that cater to both fresh milk and UHT based products and thereby, supporting the government’s efforts.
It’s the first packaging supplier in the world to review the whole system with detailed analysis and description in Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) – encompassing the lightweight packages as well as filling machines.
In the Ecolean manufacturing process, as little raw material and energy as possible is used. Saving the planet’s limited resources is the core of the company’s lightweight philosophy and shows great benefits throughout the lifecycle of the package. With up to 50% less weight than traditional packages, imagine the amount of waste saved if the world switched to Ecolean. To create an even lighter footprint, part of the plastic in the packages is replaced with chalk, up to 35%. Once empty, the package is flat as an envelope.
At the moment local manufacturing is a challenge since the import duties on raw materials drive the cost of production higher and thus renders Pakistan uncompetitive when compared with other regional markets like China and others in the far-east. However, a duty rationalization on raw material imports can make Pakistan a serious player and we believe the government is taking serious steps to facilitate the investors and manufacturing base of the country.
Ecolean is a global privately-owned company, founded in 1996 in Helsingborg, Sweden. The headquarters are located in Helsingborg and the company has production sites in Sweden and China. A production plant in Lahore, Pakistan is under construction as well as a production plant in Landskrona, Sweden.
The company’s mission is to provide the world with safe and convenient packaging solutions for liquid food with minimal environmental impact. Smart thinking and engineering have resulted in an innovative and flexible stand up-package shaped like a pitcher. The air-filled handle is an important detail in the clever design, it adds stability to the package as well as being convenient to hold when pouring or drinking directly from the package. The unique shape and large printable surface offer brands a distinctive opportunity to create excitement on the store shelf. The package suits various purposes in sizes from portion packs to family size packages.
