We are focused on developing recyclable packaging solutions to reduce environmental impact, meet consumer demand for sustainable products, and comply with stricter regulations on waste and pollution. Our aim is to make all of our products either recyclable or reusable by 2030, in line with the EU Commission’s goal.
As plastic waste and resource depletion become major global concerns, recyclable packaging helps minimise landfill contributions, lowers carbon emissions, and conserves raw materials. Additionally, sustainable flexible packaging boosts a brand’s reputation and gives businesses a competitive edge by appealing to consumers who are giving greater thought to the environment and their footprint.
