This investment will support customers by helping them to develop solutions that achieve their sustainability goals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Construction of the facility has commenced, and when completed, will include pilot lines for both plastic- and paper-based solutions, from coating, film extrusion and printing to filling lines for multiple products. The centre will also have an analytical laboratory as well as a floor dedicated to a customer experience centre, which will provide an&nbsp;<strong>open environment to meet and collaborate with customers<\/strong>&nbsp;at an early stage in the development of new innovations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The R&amp;D centre will bring together experts with&nbsp;<strong>extensive knowledge of different materials and packaging types<\/strong>. Extrusion coating, aqueous coating and siliconisation will be available, as well as various printing machines. Filling lines for different materials, including both horizontal and vertical filling, forming and sealing equipment will allow customers to&nbsp;<strong>conduct trials without interrupting their own running production<\/strong>. The facility also enables Mondi to work with its customers to develop pilot-scale solutions on site and to accelerate the process from idea to a scaled solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>This R&amp;D centre demonstrates our hands-on approach to developing sustainable packaging solutions at Mondi.
