“THE UNDERLYING THEME FOR SEALED AIR TODAY IS TO PICK UP ON THE SUSTAINABILITY PILLARS WITHIN THE INDUSTRIES WE SERVE ”
Michael Basagre , NZ 3PL and Fulfilment Sector Leader by the market and the customers . As a result , today ’ s technology has evolved around those key drivers , challenging us to re-invent how we interact with packaging , whether that be ensuring products of all shapes and sizes arrive safely to its destination or reducing food waste such as meat , fish and produce to achieve a longer shelf life .” Basagre says these innovations range from tabletop devices capable of making packaging on demand such as bubblewrap , to large , fully automated , IoT-enabled machines that require little to no human interaction . “ It ’ s a wide spectrum , depending on the industry and the particular customer that it might be appealing to ,” he adds .
The big challenge for Sealed Air is to continue to meet the changing needs of customers . “ With the continued rise of e-commerce , the consumer is now demanding , if not already conditioned to more convenience , such as same day delivery , free shipping and more eco-friendly or sustainable packaging ,” says Basagre . “ That wave of customer influence is driving us back to the heart of the supply chain to reinvent how retailers and warehouses package their orders with the customer in mind .
