Cartonplast: Cpl-Pool System, The Hygienic Way Of Packaging

Hygiene is, and always has been, one of the most important issues of the glass packaging industry. The HACCP-system was developed by NASA for the food hygiene and safety of astronauts but was later recommended for the entire food industry, as well as for adjoining industries. The reusable layer pads from Cartonplast Trading were tested during audits carried out by the IAS Institute at 26 glassworks in Germany investigating their hygienic conditions and the implementation of the HACCP-system. This article explains the cleaning process involved, as well as further steps taken to implement the same process in to existing quality management systems, in accordance wit DIN EN ISO 9001/2000, used by Cartonplast and Karton.
