A closed loop for plastic packaging
We live in a world with limited resources that need to be used carefully and for as long as possible. This is made possible by durable products, multiple use, by repairing instead of throwing away – and by recycling waste to obtain secondary raw materials that can be reused for new products.
This recyclable material cycle is intended to significantly reduce the consumption of non-regenerative raw materials, energy requirements as well as environmental pollution caused by waste and CO2 emissions. This approach plays a special role with packaging, as it is often only used once. Without functioning recycling, the resources used would definitely be lost.
