Together with DUO PLAST AG, one of the world's largest manufacturers and distributors of stretch films and hoods, and our partner Nestlé Germany we have realized an innovative new joint project: Stretch hoods in whose middle layer at least 20% post-consumer-recyclate from the Yellow Bag is used for the first time.
This is a real, innovative milestone in secondary and transport film packaging, as so far only PCR from post-commercial-source has been used in stretch hoods used for transport and load securing throughout the industry.
The use of PCR from household collection is a further step towards the sustainable, circular use of end consumer packaging.
Following the successful test phase, further trials are currently in progress in order to increase the proportion of Systalen® post-consumer-packaging with a view to the recyclate specifications in the PPWR (art. 7 - minimum content).
The pioneering joint project can be used for all common pallet formats in the food, chemical and construction industries.
We are very proud that this innovative product development has been awarded the German Packaging Award 2024 in the Logistics & Material Flow category. The official award ceremony by the dvi (German Packaging Institute) will take place at Fachpack on September 24, 2024 in Nuremberg.
This important award for the three project partners also shows once again how important and fruitful cooperation along the value chain is.
