Comexi opens vertical garden in Spain

Flexible packaging converting machinery manufacturer Comexi has opened a new façade at its facility in Girona, Spain – a 635 sq m vertical garden.

 

The new façade is designed as an example of the sustainability work Comexi has undertaken in recent years.

 

The building’s former façade was transformed into a vertical garden in order to exemplify the company’s bid for sustainability and environmental care. Comexi is actively working to increase the efficiency of its machinery, both technically and mechanically, so that both Comexi Group and its clients can reduce their carbon footprint.

 

It is also researching the development of printing and laminating machines that do not use pollutant solvents like UV inks.

 

The Comexi Offset CI8 already operates with EB inks.

 

The inauguration took place on May 11, and was organized to coincide with Girona’s Temps de Flors festival.

 

Carles Puigdemont, the Mayor of Girona, and Montserrat Roura, the Mayor of Riudellots de la Selva, accompanied Comexi Group’s chairman, Manel Xifra, for the opening ceremony.

 

Xifra: ‘It is a symbol of our bid to transform the flexible packaging industry, in a move toward improved sustainability.’
