Recyclability and recyclability

 

The recyclability of Custom Packaging Wholesale and the avoidance of leaking packaging into the environment have become the most important sustainability requirements for packaging. In addition, they determine the types of packaging that will be employed in the future. The definitions of recyclability developed by important stakeholders and influencers move from "Sm Custom Packaging" to "recycling proven in practice and on a large scale."

The discussion was dominated by improvements and redesigns of the collection and recycling systems and the design of packaging for recyclability. From 2021 we will implement a recyclable strategy in all developments. This will make us more aware of how design decisions affect the recycling value chain to make better decisions.

When a recycling value chain works well, it prevents litter, saves resources, and reduces the impact on the climate. To ensure that our recycling efforts are harmonized across the company, in 2021, we created dedicated teams as part of our global sustainability function, made up of more than 50 experts worldwide. Your task is to develop one of our greatest assets - our practical knowledge and experience in creating value chains for recycling - to expand the collection and recycling of packaging to countries without legal regulations.

Partnerships to improve and expand the disposal system for packaging

Working together is the cornerstone of success. Partnership with stakeholders is crucial for building sustainable recycling value chains. As a result, we welcome collaborations and collaboration with a diverse group of local and international stakeholders. Together with our customers, we investigate how the disposal system for packaging can be expanded by reducing transformation costs and increasing the value of recycled raw materials from our cardboard packaging.

Our packaging

We use high-quality raw materials to manufacture our packaging and fulfill our mission to make food safe and available everywhere. After our packaging has served its purpose, these raw materials should not go unused. Instead, they can be collected and - using relatively simple procedures - recycled into something useful.

On average, over 70 percent of our Custom Packaging USA material consists of long, strong cellulose fibers that can be recycled several times. In addition, the thin layer of polymers - or plastics - in our beverage cartons can be mixed with other polymers and made into new products like roof tiles, boxes, boxes, and more.

As we continue to drive collection and fiber recycling, we also focus more on recycling the polymers in our packaging. As part of our commitment to support the EU's plastics strategy, we will work with partners to ensure that recycling solutions are in place for all of the components in our beverage cartons by 2021.

Recycling helps to create a low carbon circular economy by preserving important raw materials. It also helps in preventing litter, saving resources, and reducing the impact on the climate.
