Since we produce packaging in several facilities, which in principle has a relatively short lifespan, we deal with this topic in depth as part of an in-house programme.
On the one hand, we want to reduce and minimize waste in our production facilities, and on the other hand, we want to develop and produce an increasing proportion of sustainable packaging.
For us, sustainable packaging means either reducing the proportion of materials used or replacing less environmentally friendly materials with materials that can be recycled more easily. For example, we are working intensively on replacing packaging containing plastic barriers with special varnish coatings.
Since our production processes also consume a relatively large amount of energy in some cases, we strive to apply sustainable solutions in this area as well.
One of our facilities already generates electricity using photovoltaics; other similar projects are already being considered in other subsidiaries.
