Are plastic packaging products sustainable?

Yes – all plastic packaging offered in our online shop is made of 100 % recyclable mono-materials.

Packaging – especially plastic packaging – plays an essential role in ensuring product quality and food safety. It protects, preserves and extends the shelf life of sensitive goods such as food, feed and pharmaceutical products. Efficient plastic packaging keeps products fresh for longer, prevents premature spoilage and reduces food waste – a key contribution to environmental sustainability.

Furthermore, printed or labelled plastic packaging enables legally required consumer information, supports hygiene and traceability, and thus forms an indispensable part of a circular economy.

Sustainability of Plastic Packaging

Does plastic packaging really fit into a sustainable future? Yes – when it’s designed, used and recycled responsibly.
Modern mono-materials and efficient production methods make plastic packaging a key contributor to resource conservation and food safety.

Criterion Contribution to Sustainability Example / Benefit
Material Structure 100% recyclable mono-materials (e.g., PP or PE) Separation, sorting and full recycling within circular systems
Resource Efficiency Low weight reduces material and transport footprint Lower CO₂ emissions per shipment vs. heavier alternatives
Product Protection High mechanical stability and sealing performance Minimises damage, leakages and returns; protects product quality
Food Waste Reduction Extended shelf life via suitable barriers and hygiene Less spoilage; lower total environmental impact per consumed unit
Energy & Production Efficient processing with modern injection moulding/film lines Short cycles, low scrap rates, high reproducibility and QA
Recycled Content Use of certified PCR/industrial recyclate where appropriate Re-use of resources; supports markets for high-quality recyclate
Compliance & Safety Food-grade materials and documented conformity Meets legal requirements; transparent specifications & testing
End-of-Life Design for recycling and clear identification Optimised sorting; higher real recycling rates in practice
