If we want to act in a circular economy, we need to reuse used material. So the use of recycled plastic in our packaging is important.
That’s why our customers have the possibility to use rPET (food-grade) and rHDPE (not food-grade) instead of the virgin versions for their packaging. But it’s important as well, that we know about the availability of the materials as well as their sources, to be sure, that the material is really sustainable and we are not going to do “greenwashing”.
That’s why we should e.g. use rPET only in clear PET-products to keep the material recyclable and avoid to lose it, because this wouldn’t be sustainable. We are of course looking for new solution to offer rHDPE and rPP with food-grade, but it’s currently not available in the market in industrial scales.
