Sustainability and Circularity in thermoformed packaging

Sustainability in thermoformed packaging is achieved when design, material, and process work together to reduce environmental impact without sacrificing performance. This includes optimizing thicknesses, avoiding over-packaging, and selecting alternatives that maintain product safety and protection, while reducing waste and resource consumption throughout the chain.

The 4 pillars of sustainability

Sustainability in thermoformed packaging is achieved when design, material, and process work together to reduce environmental impact without sacrificing performance. This includes optimizing thicknesses, avoiding over-packaging, and selecting alternatives that maintain product safety and protection, while reducing waste and resource consumption throughout the chain.

Less material, same protection

Thermoforming allows for lightweight and resistant designs that reduce raw material consumption and waste.

Recyclability and materials

By choosing appropriate materials and structures, packaging can be better integrated into recycling chains.

Recycled content

Incorporating recycled material helps reduce the use of virgin plastic and supports the circular economy.

Efficiency in logistics

Stackable and optimized packaging reduces emissions in transport and storage.
