Carbon Footprint Of Flexible Packgaing

A growing number of environmental concerns are affecting our planet. We all have an obligation to take care of the planet, which requires us to live greener lifestyles.

More and more infrastructures are becoming available and recycling plastic is being vastly improved with the development of mono material packaging solutions, such as the PE/PE bags from our Ready2Recycle range. Supermarkets are now providing collection points for customers of businesses who are using single polymer bags, so that these are not sent to landfill and are given a second life.

Another huge advantage of flexible packaging is the way in which product-to-package metrics are reduced. For example, a single-serve juice flexible pouch efficiently uses packaging with a product-to-package ratio of +97%. Or, a steel can for packaging coffee consumes +1,605% more water than a flexible pouch.
