Improve recyclability and conserve valuable resources: The new Kandisin tablet dispenser. The joint project by Teekanne GmbH and packaging manufacturer Pöppelmann FAMAC® shows that even existing food packaging has potential for optimization and can make a contribution to greater environmental and climate protection.
The Kandisin tablet dispenser is currently available in two versions: 250 Classic and 500 Stevia. These two versions differ not only in colour, but also in size. This has now changed! The new 350 Classic and 300 Stevia versions will be the same size. The material has also changed. Previously, the three parts of the tablet dispenser were made of different materials (container: polystyrene [PS]; slide: polyoxymethylene [POM]; lid: polypropylene [PP]). By changing the material of all three parts to PP, this item is now recyclable - without compromising on quality and functionality. Kandisin tablet dispensers are manufactured under clean food conditions. Further greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions can be reduced thanks to the additional sprue recirculation used in the manufacturing process.
Making a recyclable tablet dispenser without compromising product protection and functionality. The challenge: to develop all three individual parts (container, slider and lid) from PP without compromising on quality and functionality.
The label of this tablet dispenser has also been changed to a PP, which in turn has a positive effect on the circulation capacity.
The fact that all components are made from the same material (PP) ensures a high level of recyclability. At the same time, the amount of material used for the individual components (containers, slides, etc.) is reduced. This results in reduction of GHG emissions per variant by approx. 38% (Classic dispenser) or approx. 53% (Stevia dispenser). For this evaluation, processing, sprue production, material, color and other expenses (excl. label) were taken into account.
There are numerous potential savings along the value chain. We would be happy to present these to you in a personal meeting:

The EU Packaging & Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) sets out the framework conditions for how packaging should be designed in the future. Unnecessary packaging and packaging waste should be reduced and reusable systems and recycling should be promoted. In our opinion, plastic packaging meets precisely these requirements, as plastic is more efficient than alternative materials.
Plastic is more efficient than alternative materials.
PPWR is driving deforestation and the growth of mountains of waste.
100% in unregulated sectors (e.g. nonfood) creates incentives for investment in mechanical recycling.
Recyclability and the use of recyclates are the basis for a functioning circular economy.
