Recently, the plastic packaging industry has had another major event!
Seven industrial giants set up the "Future-oriented Packaging Platform" (Verpackung mit Zukunft) in Austria
.
The seven companies are Greiner, ALPLA, Nestlé, Coca-Cola Austria, Interseroh, ENGEL and EREMA
.
Optimizing packaging recyclability
Optimizing packaging recyclabilityThe “Future-oriented Packaging Platform” will work to optimize recyclability and continuously improve the sustainability of the packaging industry, advancing a circular economy
.
The seven member companies have realized the four fundamentals of circular economy operation in many fields - reduce, replace, reuse and recycle
.
For example, Greiner, headquartered in Kremmünüster, Austria, is a world-renowned plastic packaging and foaming company.
The company has joined organizations such as “Recycling Plastics Alliance” and “Styrene Recycling Solutions”, and is committed to sustainable R&D and innovation in plastic packaging and foaming
.
This pack, produced by Greiner for Henkel's Persil detergent, contains 50% recycled PP
.
"We want to position Austria as a model country for packaging sustainability and to be the face of these efforts,
" says Günther Lehner, CEO of Apra
.
Appla recently expanded the rPET production capacity of its Polish plant from 15,000 tons per year to 30,000 tons
.
"During the current Covid-19 pandemic, packaging has become more and more important in terms of transport protection, food quality and food hygiene
.
The advantages of packaging should also be valued after the pandemic
.
Sustainability remains a priority for all projects
.
" Head of Nestlé Austria Angela Teml said
.
Develop cross-regional standards for sustainable packaging
Develop cross-regional standards for sustainable packagingThe members of the platform will try to establish a new standard for sustainable packaging across regions, so that people have a different understanding of plastics
.
“We want to take responsibility and are seeking to communicate with all stakeholders
.
We are committed to achieving an efficient circular economy and the creation of the platform takes us an important step towards this goal,
” said Manfred Hackl, CEO of EREMA Group
.
Engel CEO Stefan Englede pointed out that plastic as a material is not the problem of polluting the environment, the key lies in how to handle and use plastic well
.
He said that "design for recycling" and new digital technologies are currently the focus of Engel's research and development
.
“We are looking at introducing a unified collection system – especially for yellow bags, improving infrastructure in the areas of separation, collection, sorting and recycling, or promoting 100% reusable, still valuable or recyclable packaging solutions plan
,” said Franz Sauseng, chairman of Interseroh
.
The Interspero Plastics Recycling Skills Centre has recently received international accreditation
.
This means it is the only EU-recognised research institute specialising in the development and analysis of recycled plastics
.
It sets standards throughout Europe, implementing uniform quality standards
.
Coca-Cola Austria spokesman Philipp Bodzenta, for example, currently Coca-Cola's mineral water brand Römerquelle sold in Austria has been made of 100% renewable PET
.
The plastic bottles for Römerquelle mineral water are made of 100% rPET
.
The "Future-oriented Packaging Platform" hopes to be positioned as a dialogue partner for government, science, NGOs and consumers to further promote the discussion about "packaging"
.
