Recyclable

4. Recyclable

Sustainable packaging should be made from materials from which we obtain waste that will be processed into products, materials or substances that can be reused for their original or other purposes.
Our preferred corrugated cardboard can be recycled up to 9 times.

Recyclable materials include:
  • Paper
  • Plastics
  • Metals
  • Textiles
  • Glass
  • Biodegradable waste
  • Construction waste
  • Solvents
  • Oils
  • Light sources

Some types of material cannot be fully recycled, but waste material can still be used to produce “inferior” but useful material. We call this process “downcycling”. A typical example is beverage cartons – recycling them does not create new beverage cartons, but the waste material produced can be used to make paper or building boards.

FAQ

By engaging in targeted environmental activities (e.g. waste sorting), you are helping the environment. You are increasing the chances of the present and future generations to live in comfortable conditions.

In addition, non-compliance with certain environmental principles is subject to sanctions due to non-compliance with applicable legislative standards.

The carbon footprint is the sum of released greenhouse gases expressed in CO2 equivalents. This measure can be applied to all activities and products. It can refer to an individual, a product or an event.

Efforts to reduce the carbon footprint can be made by a company as part of corporate projects and do not have to be certified projects. Just a local “mini-project”, such as collecting rubbish around the company, can help.

But above all, it depends on each individual how they approach this issue. Do I sort waste? Is there anything I can do to reduce my paper consumption? How do I get to work? Even such seemingly trivial matters affect the CO2 footprint.

In more demanding cases, you as a company can have a certified company calculate the amount of emissions you produce. These emissions can then be offset by investments in climate protection projects (e.g. afforestation).

Corrugated board is made from natural, biodegradable materials such as paper fibres and organic starch adhesive. It is therefore degradable without negative consequences for the environment.

Plastic is a material made from petroleum derivatives and is almost indestructible in nature, unfortunately it is one of the biggest polluters of the environment. It is therefore necessary to sort it so that it is recycled and the negative consequences for biodiversity are eliminated as much as possible.
