Why should you use plastic C&I packaging with recycled content?

Better use of natural resources.

Using recycled material reduces the demand for virgin raw materials needed to make new plastic packaging and preserves our planet’s limited natural resources.

Save energy.

Producing plastics from recycled material generally consumes less energy than producing plastics from virgin raw materials. By using recycled material, you can reduce the energy consumption to produce C&I plastic packaging and thus help reduce your carbon footprint.

Reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

By using recycled material in C&I plastic packaging, your company contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions resulting from mining, transporting and processing new raw materials. Every tonne of recycled plastic reduces CO2 emissions by 3.03 tonnes.

Encourage the circular economy.

The use of recycled content encourages companies to collect more selectively by boosting demand for secondary raw materials. It also stimulates the development of recycling opportunities and creates a positive impact on local employment.

Comply with CSRD reporting.

CSRD reporting, mandatory as of the reference year 2024 for stock-exchange listed companies, consists of collecting, measuring, analysing and communicating information on a company’s economic, social and environmental impacts. On the environmental front, companies must report on their performance, including their greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption, waste management, use of natural resources, commitment to renewable energy, etc.

Anticipating legislation on the obligation to use recycled content.

In its draft text of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation, the European Commission imposes the use of 35% recycled content in all industrial plastic packaging from 2030 onwards.
