Inductive sensors specifically for use in extremely hot and cold temperatures are now in the offing.

Components and products supplier Treotham Automaton has introduced inductive sensors specifically for use in extreme temperatures.

The INRT450 inductive sensors for hot and cold zones from Wenglor ensure reliable detection of metallic objects in extreme temperature ranges from – 60°C to +450°C.

The durable sensors are reliable, high-performance products that can be used in a broad range of applications including food and beverage, according to Treotham.

As they are manufactured without silicone, they can also be used in cold zones such as cold storage facilities and in PWIS-sensitive areas.

The interchangeable sensor head is made of ceramic, making it capable of continuously withstanding extreme heat and cold, whilst accurately detecting metallic objects at the same time.

The World Packaging Organisation has named 234 winners for the WorldStar Packaging Awards 2026, which were selected from 481 entries submitted across 36 countries.

ACOR is calling on the Government to urgently introduce packaging reforms or risk the collapse of Australia’s plastic recycling sector and face millions of tonnes of plastic waste polluting the environment.

As 2025 draws to a close, it is clear the packaging sector has undergone one of its most consequential years in over a decade. Consolidation at the top, restructuring in the middle, and bold innovation at the edges have reshaped the industry’s horizons. At the same time, regulators, brand owners and recyclers have inched closer to a new circular operating model, even as policy clarity remains elusive.
