Sustainable packaging comes with some of its own challenges as we work to reduce, reuse, and recycle. But obstacles inspire creativity. Below are some examples of what innovation can make possible.
In 2019, Greiner Packaging launched its partnership with Plastic Bank by supporting the commissioning of five collection points in Manila, Philippines. The partnership was extended for the third time at the end of 2023. A total of over 610 tons of plastic have already been collected as part of the collaboration.
Changes in geometry and production process lead to reduced amount of plastic and improved stackability
Let’s work together to develop sustainable packaging.

Innovation drives inspiration
Sustainability is at the heart of our innovation projects. As we develop new product ideas, we keep the three Rs – reduce, reuse, recycle – in mind from the outset. In this way, we can offer our customers sustainable product concepts that ensure cost-effectiveness and eye-catching appeal. Product innovations »
Partnering with other companies, Greiner Packaging has established the first closed loop for school milk cups made of r-PET. The project shows on a small scale how a circular economy could work in the future.
Our latest innovative development almost sounds like magic. With K3® r100, the cardboard wrap detaches from the plastic cup all by itself during the waste collection process, significantly increasing the recyclability of cardboard-plastic combinations.
To improve the ecological footprint of capsule solutions, Greiner Packaging hasdeveloped home-compostable capsules that disintegrate and finally disappear on consumers’ compost heap.
