This revolutionary machine: * is a fraction of the size of a conventional corrugator * radically reduces the amount of energy needed to produce corrugated packaging, both in making and transporting the board * costs approximately one-sixteenth the price of the conventional machine * has been developed over the past eight years; two successful prototypes have been built * is fully compatible with the admirable recycling record of corrugated board, which is almost 80% made from recycled fibres, and of which over 80% will in turn be recycled * gives end users of corrugated packaging a cost saving of approximately 38% * enables end users to produce their own bespoke corrugated packaging in house and on demand – an impossibility at present * saves road miles, wastage and storage space</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
