Packaging workers need efficient solutions to handle parcels of all sizes. But current methods lack sufficient adhesive strength and eco-friendliness, with hot-melt adhesives posing a recyclability challenge. Automated processes have struggled to cope with different parcel sizes, leading to inevitable manual intervention. ICO focuses on lightweight, cordless designs powered by batteries and eco-friendly seaweed-based adhesives. This promotes sustainability and enhances recyclability when combined with pulp materials. The gear-driven system enables effortless extrusion of hot-melt adhesive for bonding large packages by rolling. ICO improves the efficiency of packaging large parcels for workers and facilitates the recycling process for packaging materials.
