Sustainability is a broad, all-encompassing concept ultimately aimed at minimising human impact on the environment and maximising the outcome for future generations.

As regards the packaging industry, sustainability is above all about optimising the life–cycle impact of packages and minimising environmental impact.

Reducing the use of virgin – unused – plastics and replacing it with post-consumer recycled materials is of vital importance both for the resources of the planet and, practically, for the amount of rubbish our society has to deal with. We support efforts to increase recycling of post-consumer and production waste through the use of RPET.

RPET (Recycled PET) is a material derived from the use of a high percentage of post-consumer waste (e.g. re-granulated soda and water bottles). The addition of an ABA layer of food grade material enables it to conform to current food packaging regulations. Its use in everyday packaging solutions like food containers is now commonplace and growing into all market sectors.

Bio-degradable and bio-compostable materials

Polylactic acid (PLA) is a clear packaging film well suited to a variety of thermoformed packages, which requires careful and unique manufacturing and handling processing. PLA is derived from renewable sources – typically wheat and cornstarch.

PLA will not decompose instantly, but will start to partially decompose when the product is in direct contact with organic substances, such as soil.

PLA decomposes completely in about 100 days when in direct contact with organic substances, and will also decompose when handled through industrial composting.
