America’s beverage companies are carefully designing our plastic bottles to be 100% recyclable – including the caps. They are #MadetoBeRemade, and we’re working hard to ensure they’re recycled so they can be remade into new bottles as intended. #EveryBottleBack www.madetoberemade.org

Let’s have a spirited conversation in the comments! Is a plastic wine bottle more sustainable than a glass one if its carbon footprint is 42% lower? The new ALPLA PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles are made of recyclable plastic. The 0.75-liter plastic wine bottle weighs 50 grams, compared to glass bottles, which weigh over 400 grams, requiring less fossil fuel to transport. Daniel Lehner, global sales director of food and beverage for Alpla said, “PET is light, unbreakable and recyclable, and can be molded with little energy needed, making the plastic the ideal packaging solution. With it, winemakers can improve their environmental footprint and lower their costs.” Is plastic better than glass when it's recycled and when its carbon footprint is lower? Or do we need to look further into the future than how much energy it takes to produce and transport a product? #packaging #sustainability #circulareconomy #plastic

Take Action for Plastic Free Future (Day 12) It’s Plastic Free August, a global movement that encourages individuals to reduce their plastic consumption and live more sustainably. One of the best ways is making your own snacks, minimising plastic packaging. Remember to opt for cardboard, paper, glass, or metal when buying your ingredients or visit your local bulk foods store. #CoastalTaskForce #Saveocean #ouroceanourfuture #PlasticFreeJuly #ChooseToRefuse #PFJ #PlasticFreeJuly2024 #reduceplasticwaste #plasticavoidance #PlasticFreeFoundation #SmallStepsBigDifference #BeatPlasticPollution #JulioSinPlastico #JulhoSemPlastico #saynotoplastic #zerowaste #recycle #savetheplante #plasticfreeliving #plasticdetox #sustainability

How can we make sure more beverage cartons are recycled around the world? Collection is of course a huge part of it. But it’s just as important to make sure beverage cartons are designed for recycling. One way to do this is to increase the share of paperboard – and we’ve done just that with our new paper-based barrier. #Circularity #Recycling #ProductInnovation #PackagingSolutions https://bit.ly/3uvg31j

The EU's latest packaging regulation, following two years of negotiations, marks a significant milestone in the pursuit of sustainability and waste reduction. With each citizen generating 190kg of packaging waste annually, the need for action is undeniable. This regulation, with its focus on recyclability and sustainability, sets ambitious targets for reducing packaging and waste by 2030. By 2040, the aim is to significantly decrease plastic usage, promote reuse and refill, and ensure all packaging in the EU market is economically recyclable. Embracing principles of a circular economy, the regulation mandates high-quality recycling and introduces return systems for plastic bottles and aluminum cans. Harmonized labeling will guide consumers towards proper disposal practices, while by the end of the decade, 90% of single-use plastic and metal beverage containers must be collected separately. Key prohibitions include the restriction of very light plastic bags (<15 microns) and the elimination of PFAS in food-contact packaging, prioritizing health and environmental safety. Furthermore, member states will be tasked with incentivizing restaurants and food services to provide tap water in reusable or refillable formats, promoting sustainable practices. This regulation revises how we think about packaging and sets the foundation for a revolution in plastic use. I am hopeful it will produce positive change in the future and that this mindset will motivate more crucial steps towards a sustainable future. #Waste #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #Plastic #EURegulation 🌿🌟

Are PET bottles really pets? Nope! PET bottles are containers made from Polyethylene Terephthalate. It's not just a tongue-twister; it's the type of plastic used for packing beverages like your fave water! 💧 PET bottles are 100% recyclable ♻️ and are commonly collected for recycling programs to reduce waste. On average, every Finn returns 373 items in a year: 251 aluminum cans, 98 plastic bottles, and 24 glass bottles. The lifecycle of PET bottles must be understood by everyone, from creation to reinvention, and they must be recycled to turn waste into a resource, showing our dedication to living a more environmentally conscious life. 🌍 #PETbottles #SmartChoices #CircularEconomy #SustainablePH

The European Union's 2021 regulations on single-use plastics are driving swift adaptation for retailers, chains, and Quick Service Restaurants (QSRs). Complying with bans on plastic cutlery and straws necessitates a shift towards sustainable packaging and operations. This transition presents both challenges and opportunities. Embracing eco-friendly alternatives like compostable packaging or reusable cup programs, and collaborating with suppliers on responsible solutions, ensures compliance and resonates with environmentally conscious consumers. #ElectroluxProfessionalGroup #Innovation #Sustainability #EPRFood

The EU Single-Use Plastic Directive (SUP) is a legislation aimed at reducing plastic waste and promoting a circular economy. Its provisions include bans on single-use plastic cutlery, plates, and straws, and introduces 'extended producer responsibility', making producers responsible for waste management. However, implementing the SUP Directive presents challenges. Read about the need for innovation in managing plastic waste and how companies can accelerate the transition to a circular economy: https://lnkd.in/eN8F44Av #Deloitte #Consumer #SUP #FMCG #ConsumerProducts #FutureofFood
