Advantages of recycled plastic packaging
Reducing plastic waste and encouraging a circular economy
Companies are encouraged to collect waste more selectively and pay more attention to (new) recycling channels. This, in turn, benefits the economy and local employment.
Combating climate change
The production of plastics from recycled materials generally consumes less energy than the production of plastics from new raw materials. This also reduces the ecological footprint.
By using recycled material in commercial plastic packaging, your company helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the extraction, transport, and processing of new raw materials. Every ton of recycled plastic reduces CO2 emissions by 3.03 tons.
Contributing to the conservation of natural resources
the demand for new raw materials will decrease, thereby conserving our planet's natural resources
