Octopus machines are produced at Haloila’s plant in southern Finland. The Masku
plant is located at the edge of a forest, next to a forest point, and nature is literally
always present in the production room with a sturdy rock wall.
Perhaps it is the presence of nature and the Finns’ typical respect for the envi-
ronment that have also shaped the Octopus range in an increasingly ecological
direction year by year. Special consideration is also given to energy-efficiency as
is to the amount of packaging material used. And the material itself? Recyclable
plastic, of course.
 “
Octopus is both an economical and ecologically sustainable choice for our
customers. Optimised energy efficiency combined with fine-tuned packaging ma-
terial saves the environment as well as costs,” says Haloila’s CEO Jari Paavola.
Even before delivery to the customer, the production of the Octopus range comp-
lies with the principles of sustainability. The chain of production has been carefully
reviewed; for example, to ensure that the materials used in production are as
environmentally friendly as possible. Special consideration is also given to tran-
sportation, both to and from the Masku plant.
However, none of the innovations that save time and the environment can beat
the reliability of the Octopus wrapping machine.
 “
When the machine works and packages the customer’s final product so that
the transport batch is not damaged, the savings to all parties concerned are at
their peak. The largest burden on the environment emerges when the packaged
batch is damaged and has to be produced all over again,” Paavola reminds us.
