The model before us is standing on 4 fundamental pillars:
Sustainable Forest Management
A PEFC-certified forest is a forest that is managed in line with the strictest environmental, social and economic requirements. A forest that will be around for generations to come. Through PEFC certification, we can track the material from these forests, down the supply chain, to the final product that you buy. The mechanism to track the material is called Chain of Custody certification. Beyond ensuring that the material comes from a certified forest, it also protects the rights of workers along the production process.
Clean, Efficient and Responsible production process
The packaging can no more leave any negative trace in our environment. It must be made from the renewable resources that can be recycled into any other substance. And the carton is fulfilling all these requirements. Carton's raw materials are not only renewable they are also ensuring further Growth of European Forests. Nowadays almost all cardboard cases in Europe are recovered and recycled.
Recovery philosophy
Corrugate carton proceeds form renewable raw materials, which is adaptable to any shape of packaging design. And once its life circle is completed, it is recovered again through recycling.
Recycling
Used material is a carton clear advantage which increases the interest in it. As each day the Society is more concerned about consumer goods sustainability and its impact on environment.
Cardboard carton Industry is bursting in as a strategic element and a reliable partner for both consumer and manufacturer.
This type of surface presents a wide range of possibilities to improve traceability, achieving at once: operation time, costs and human error reduction.

Spanish association which join and represent
the majority of the national carton manufactures,
providing packaging to all industrial sectors in Spain.

achieving at the same time operation time, costs and human error reduction.
One of UBS main focuses is on cardboard cases marking and coding,
as it allows us to develop a totally adaptable technology with multiples sheds.
Our equipment help to create and print any message almost instantly, providing great versatility for any changeover, and significant cost reduction in comparison to other printing systems.
We are adding to it a constant commitment to environment by using Eco oil base ink 100% Mineral oil free.
Packaging Industry by next 2020 will be facing its key test – sustainability growth and its implementation into consumer goods digitalization and intelligence.

Let's consider pharmaceutic products as a clear example of adaptation to new reality of digital revolution:
- The intelligent packaging is a guarantee of the authenticity of the medicine it contains.
- It offers to the patient fast feedback connection through the link to intelligent phone.
- It supports them with direction of use.
This sector is in its plain expansion and needs to have packaging industry at the same level, letting to cardboard to perfume its strategic advantage.
