Innovation is like flipping a coin, there is always one outcome
A new concept can succeed and be scaled to industrial production, replicated globally. Or it teaches us that this is not the way, and points to a different direction.
At Logoplaste we are not afraid of trial and error. This process propels us forward, breaking uncharted territory and rewarding us with innovative ideas to resolve all challenges.
AI Design
Logoplaste Innovation Lab stands out with its unique blend of Design Thinking, Biomimicry, and generative AI, a pioneering approach to packaging design. This innovative synergy merges Nature’s time-tested solutions with cutting-edge technology to create the most functional, aesthetically pleasing, and environmentally responsible packaging.
Our innovation process, powered by generative AI, learns from vast datasets, empowering us to create numerous design variations optimized for critical factors such as material efficiency, structural integrity, and environmental impact. By rapidly generating diverse options, generative AI allows our designers to explore a broader spectrum of possibilities, addressing complex challenges with unparalleled speed and precision.
We inform our packaging solutions by drawing inspiration from Nature’s strategies. For instance, the biomechanics properties of plant leaves, which combine flexibility and strength, inspire us to design packaging that reduces material usage while maintaining durability. Similarly, the intricate structure of seashells, known for their layered strength and resilience, guides us in developing packaging that offers superior shock-absorbing protection.
The fusion of Biomimicry with generative AI harnesses the continuous multifunctional benefits of Nature’s solutions. This integration enables us to analyze, synthesize, and emulate these biological models, incorporating them into our packaging designs with enhanced speed and efficiency.
The potential of generative AI and Biomimicry in packaging design is vast. By leveraging the strengths of both, we create more innovative, functional, and sustainable packaging solutions.
As AI technology advances, our capabilities will further excel at deciphering complex biological data, leading to increasingly sophisticated and sustainable packaging solutions.
Join us as we lead the packaging industry toward a more enduring future in which packaging is as efficient, resilient, and harmonious as Nature.
Designed to comply, while at the same time minimizing environmental impact
Tethered caps, all in one
Tethered caps are designed to remain attached to the bottle throughout the packaging’s entire life cycle, making them more likely to be collected and recycled. This helps prevent plastic litter and is fully compliant with the EU 2019/904 Directive - Single-Use Plastics. This Directive stipulates that starting July 2024, plastic caps for all beverage bottles, with a capacity of up to 3 liters, may only be marketed if the cap remains attached to the bottle once opened.
This directive posed a challenge for the EU brands. Early on, in 2021, Logoplaste began the Tethered Caps Project, in partnership with Husky, so our clients could have the best solutions in terms of design, production, and consumer experience. In 2023 the last phase of the project was completed, and despite the increased complexity of the caps, Logoplaste presented a clever solution that reduces the amount of plastic by up to 10%. Our tethered caps not only prevent litter but also avoid CO2 emissions.
High-performing alternative sources to fossil-based materials
On the right path
To create a more sustainable future, the Bionanopolys Project team developing large-scale, high-quality, biomaterials, exploring a potential alternative to fossil-based materials.
To drive adoption by industry and consumers, these new biomaterials must have functional properties for high-volume applications, as well as perform better than the current alternatives. Fossil-based raw materials are less expensive option, an impediment for biomaterials to enter the market successfully, therefore communication on environmental benefits will be key.
Within the Bionanopolys Project, Logoplaste was responsible for developing the rigid packaging solution
Bottles for food applications were developed and produced, via injection blow molding, using biodegradable biopolymers reinforced with nanoclays to improve barrier performance and product shelf-life.
Results on permeability and 100% compostability will be published in 2024. Stay tuned!
