Nefab Hungary wins the Innovation and Technology prize

Nefab Hungary won the award of the Hungarian Ministry of Innovation and Technology at the Hungaropack Packaging Contest 2021.

We are happy to announce that Nefab Hungary won the award of the Hungarian Ministry of Innovation and Technology at the Hungaropack Packaging Contest 2021.

Redesigning a Heavy Transport Packaging

The challenge was to redesign one of our customer’s heavy and complicated transport packaging method while reducing its environmental impact and total costs. The Nefab team opted for replacing it with a customized environmental friendly solution.

Quantified Sustainability Improvement

Using GreenCALC, Nefab's proprietary environmental impact calculator, the team achieved remarkable results:

  • 113 metric tons of CO2 emissions saved, cutting emissions by 50% compared to the original design. These savings are equivalent to the annual CO2 emissions produced by 24 cars.
  • Waste generation significantly reduced.
  • A cost reduction of €100,000, representing a 49% savings compared to the original packaging design.

    What’s the Best Packaging for Lithium-Ion Battery Transport?

    As production volumes increased and automation became more common in battery plants, packaging had to do more than just protect parts in transit. The focus shifted to solutions that could hold their shape, last longer in reuse loops and keep performing reliably trip after trip.

    Optimized Foam Inserts for Cleanroom-bound Products

    Our customer was using a legacy packaging design for the RPS (Remote Plasma Source) Adapters that was inefficient and costly. Their traditional "coffin-style" foam inserts consumed excess material, leading to higher expenses, more waste, and a larger carbon footprint. By re-engineering the packaging, we developed a streamlined, resource-efficient solution that provided the necessary protection while significantly reducing material use and volumetric weight.
