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.
