We focus on “Design for Recycling”

We want plastic to stay in the economic cycle for as long as possible. That’s why we design our packaging so it’s easy to recycle. 

Here are a few criteria we follow:

  • We use as little material as possible
  • We use materials with existing recycling streams
  • We reduce the area of the packaging covered by the decoration (< 50 percent)
  • We develop packaging that consists of just a single material (monomaterial) or combine materials that are easy to separate in the recycling process
  • We dye our materials as little as possible (reduced use of masterbatches) and only use colors that are free of carbon particles
  • We only use printing inks that comply with EuPIA guidelines 
  • We develop packaging that can be emptied of remaining product as completely as possible
