Drive circularity
Sustainable and innovative product solutions/portfolio
In cooperation with our customers, we research, develop, test and employ new packaging solutions that simultaneously guarantee uncompromised quality and shelf life of products as well as sustainable solutions that contribute to climate change mitigation and the circular economy, tackling:
▪ Increased Recyclability & High Recycled Content Solutions
▪ Carbon Footprint Reduction Solutions
▪ Innovative Product Development
Our comprehensive approach to managing all market-related issues is measured against the most reliable sustainability indicators, but also the managing of key stakeholder relations and their inclusion in the estimation of all issues surrounding product development.
Life-cycle assessment of products
▪ Life-cycle assessment (LCA) of products as a service to our customers
▪ LCA = methodology used to evaluate the environmental impacts of a product or service throughout its entire life cycle
▪ The key tool to identify Scope 3 reduction measures for our customers
▪ Comparison of existing packaging solutions and potential improvements
▪ % of product subcategories life-cycle assessed: 90% (in 2023)
▪ cradle-to-grave & cradle-to-gate calculations possible
Responsible waste management
At the core of our waste management strategy lies our commitment to prioritise reuse followed by recycling (secondary approach), particularly evident in our handling of aluminium scrap, which constitutes the primary component of our waste stream.
By selling aluminium scrap in its entirety, we actively contribute to the broader recycling efforts within the industry, promoting a circular approach and resource conservation.
In addition to our recycling efforts, we emphasize the recovery of waste, especially energy recovery, as a tertiary approach. One of our main KPIs is the increase in our Waste Diversion Rate (WDR) (90.5% in 2023).
