Sustainable food packaging solutions
To be the first choice in sustainable packaging solutions
For us, sustainability means considering our impact throughout the entire value chain, in terms of the environment, social responsibility by minimizing the negative impacts of our operations and products on the environment while maximizing the positive impacts on our stakeholders, consumers, and society.
Today’s food ecosystem faces serious challenges. Approximately a third of produced food is wasted, which accounts for 10% of global CO2 emissions. This is where well-designed packaging can help, by preserving food for longer, preventing food waste and improving food safety.
Packaging has a fundamental role in building sustainable and resilient food systems globally. But just as with all innovations, there are challenges to be dealt with. Each year over eight million tons of plastic packaging enters our oceans and recycling rates across the globe remain pitifully low.
 | There is the paradox. On the one hand, society wants to see fewer materials used, less packaging waste and less litter. On the other hand, it also wants safer products, less food waste and a longer shelf life. The debate should not be about more or less packaging. It should be about how we make packaging smarter and more sustainable with better end-of-life management; packaging that considers the full environmental, social and governance impacts. In order to achieve our ambitions, we collaborate with key stakeholders – we believe that no one organization can address the challenges of sustainability alone. Together, we must build a common understanding of sustainable development that considers the balance between environmental, social and economic factors, and is based on fact-based conversations. |
We believe that the key for unlocking sustainability is innovation, and in order to innovate, we need partners across the value chain. We want to be an enabler and a catalyst for change, which is why we work together with many different stakeholders in order to be able to deliver on our ambitious sustainability agenda. Innovative packaging solutions are necessary to transform the sector and help solve global challenges. We partner with multiple stakeholders across the value chain and across industries to design for circularity, covering a wide range of systems and products. We believe that together we can create incremental, breakthrough and transformative innovation that can lead to systemic, long-lasting change beyond the present. |  |
Packaging plays a fundamental role in protecting food. It guarantees food safety and hygiene, helps prevent food waste and gives access to food by supporting easy and efficient delivery.
we want to become the first choice in sustainable food packaging solutions, and we believe that transitioning to a circular economy is the key to unlocking sustainability. In this transition, the change starts from our product design and innovation, and is reflected throughout the entire life-cycle of our products. Designing for circularity offers exciting opportunities to develop new packaging solutions to address the needs of our society. However, we are also clear that when making choices in the product design phase, for example regarding the choice of materials or the structure of the packaging, there can never be a compromise on the safety and quality of the final product that is to be used in food contact. Product safety is non-negotiable and managing food contact safety is at the core of our sustainable packaging solutions for food.
Packaging secures hygiene, food availability and food safety for consumers around the globe. Managing product safety is essential in our business when delivering material that will be in contact with food. Product safety is non-negotiable and managing food contact safety is at the core of sustainable packaging solutions for food.
We are committed to providing safe, fit-for-purpose and high-quality packaging products to food and drink packaging customers. Each our product meets high quality and food safety standards that give our customers and their customers, the consumers, confidence in our products. Our approach to food safety covers the entire supply chain. Proactive communication between all parties in the value chain regarding raw materials, compositions and intended use of the final food packaging is essential when we design our products.
When designing our products, we use a safety by design approach. Raw materials are qualified for food contact suitability for the intended use prior to being introduced. The finished articles are assessed and tested in accordance with legal requirements.
For the health and safety of products, all processes from material storage to production and inspection use the same standard as food manufacturing enterprises.
