The future of flexible packaging: a Circular Economy
The positive characteristics of flexible packaging, such as its durability and performance, become a particular problem at the end of its life cycle. If disposed of improperly, flexible packaging contributes to the littering of oceans and landfills.
We are convinced that the flexible packaging of the future must follow a circular economy. This is why we have joined CEFLEX, a European initiative with partners from the entire flexible apckaging value chain. Together, we are committed to ensuring that 100% of all flexible packaging in Europe is collected by 2025 and that 80% is recycled as re-granulate.
