On 27.8.2020 members of the PersPACKtives e.V. (in formation) met with external guests for a first working group meeting on the topic "Future Markets" at the Leinehof in Göttingen. The expert panel dealt with packaging for novel energy sources.
In order to further develop the future market of e-mobility, industry experts from companies at all stages of the value chain met in a working group. The experts discussed in detail why special packaging for new types of energy sources, such as batteries for e-vehicles, is needed.
The participants also addressed the requirements for the transport of lithium-ion batteries. Storage for critical batteries was also analysed. Possible fire protection solutions for these batteries were also discussed. The working group jointly developed a strategy and defined technological and economic needs. Finally, they derived objectives and outlined a first roadmap.
Dirk Masuhr, Chairman of PersPACKtives e.V., informs: "The event promoted a targeted transfer of know-how. It also enabled business contacts to be made within this interesting future industry. Our association started focused on the goal of developing and manufacturing innovative products in the areas of logistics and packaging together with its members".
PersPACKtives e. V. is the network for innovation and technology development in the packaging and logistics industry. The topics covered by the association are Smart Packaging, Future Markets and Digital Supply Chain - each with a strong reference to the megatrends of digitisation and sustainability. Concrete technical approaches deal with hydrophobicity, programmable materials (smart packaging), increasing the load capacity of packaging materials and packaging of new types of energy sources. With its members, the PersPACKtives network individually complements the competencies of each partner and, as an integrating platform, bundles the value creation potential along the process chain. This is done with the objectives of joint development and production of innovative products, a targeted transfer of know-how and information, the establishment of profitable business contacts and fields of business as well as access to new markets in international competition.
