RECYCLABLE PACKAGING
Protect Resources, Carry the Cycle into the Future.
Recyclable packaging solutions are part of a more responsible approach that considers product protection, material efficiency and the post-use process together. Our aim is to move towards simpler, more circular structures without compromising performance.
DESIGN FOR CIRCULARITY
Simpler structures, more responsible resource use and a more circular future.
OUR APPROACH
We design packaging not only for use, but to return it to the cycle.
The primary objective of sustainable packaging design is to preserve product safety and shelf life while making the material structure as simple, efficient and compatible with recycling processes as possible.
For this reason, film selection, layer architecture, packaging thickness, printing and functional features are evaluated together from the earliest design stage.
Recycling performance depends on the materials used, local collection and sorting infrastructure and the final packaging structure. Each project must therefore be evaluated individually according to product and market conditions.
DESIGN PRINCIPLES
Creating more value with fewer resources.
01 / SIMPLIFY
Optimise Material Structure
Develop packaging designs focused on reducing unnecessary layers and complexity.
02 / KORU
Prevent Product Waste
Keep product protection, one of packaging’s most important functions, at the heart of sustainability.
03 / REDUCE
Reduce Material Use
Aim to achieve the required mechanical and barrier performance through more efficient material use.
04 / ALIGN
Recycling-Compatible Structures
Evaluate options that make the packaging structure more compatible with existing recycling systems.
05 / PRODUCE EFFICIENTLY
Energy & Resource Efficiency
Aim to optimise resource use at every production stage, from printing to lamination.
06 / THINK AHEAD
Circular Design
Treat the post-use stage not as the final phase of packaging design, but as one of its first decisions.
TECHNICAL APPROACH
Recycling goals are designed together with performance.
Every package has different technical requirements. Developing simpler, recyclable structures while maintaining barrier, strength, printing and seal performance requires a holistic engineering approach.
01
Mono-Material Approach
Simpler structures based on the same polymer family in suitable projects.
02
Optimised Thickness
A focus on reducing material use while preserving the performance required by the product.
03
Barrier Design
Developing solutions suited to shelf-life, oxygen, moisture, light and aroma requirements.
04
Printing & Surface
Print and surface options compatible with the technical structure while maintaining brand visibility.
05
Machine Compatibility
Structure optimisation according to filling line, seal behaviour and process requirements.
CIRCULAR APPROACH
Rethink the packaging life cycle from the beginning.
More sustainable packaging is not the result of a single material decision. Stronger environmental outcomes can be achieved when design, production, use and post-use stages are considered together.
01 / DESIGN
Start with Less
Reduce unnecessary material use from the outset.
02 / PRODUCTION
Produce Efficiently
Keep energy, material and process losses under control.
03 / USE
Protect the Product Better
Reduce waste by preserving shelf life and product integrity.
04 / POST-USE
Return It to the Cycle
Include recycling and the post-use process in design decisions.
