Once viewed primarily as a shipping solution, corrugated packaging is increasingly recognized as a strategic component of modern supply chains.
Driven by sustainability requirements, digital technologies and changing brand expectations, fibre-based packaging is gaining renewed importance across industries.
From recycling to circular innovation
Corrugated packaging’s environmental credentials have long been well established. It is recyclable, renewable and often produced with a high proportion of recycled fibres. By combining established materials with advanced manufacturing and digital technologies, the corrugated packaging sector continues to demonstrate that sustainability and innovation can progress together—well beyond the box.
Adding recycled content in your flexible plastic packaging can reduce your climate impact and support a more circular use of packaging materials. By using recycled plastic materials, we make use of plastic waste and use a raw material with a lower carbon footprint. How to do it and what to think about in terms of regulations, quality and implementation? Register to learn more in our upcoming webinar. In this webinar we share best-practice from a customer - Wienerberger, the world’s largest producer of bricks for the building industry, implementing the Trioworld Loop30 stretch hood in their operations. You will also get an overview of the regulatory landscape, as well as the journey of recycled plastic through the value chain – from waste to high-quality plastic material. register at: https://triowor.webinargeek.com/recycled-content-in-flexible-plastic-film
