Ready for another kp world-first? Our Pravia production site in Spain is the very first to obtain the brand-new closed loop module within the RecyClass Traceability Certification. It certifies the origin of post-consumer recycled material coming from PET trays. At the heart is kp Tray2Tray®, our initiative that strengthens circularity by keeping valuable tray materials in food packaging applications, rather than being lost or downcycled.

Coca-Cola, one of the companies leading the way in the labelless PET movement in the UK, has removed labels from its Sprite and Sprite Zero on-the-go bottles as part of a limited trial. This seemingly simple transition from plastic labels to laser-engraved brand, product, and nutritional information has helped simplify the recycling process, eliminating the need for separating labels from bottles and reducing the amount of packaging used in the manufacturing process.

PET on road to circularity, but disparities create potholesThe average recycled content rate of PET beverage bottles in the EU reached 24 per cent in 2022, but more work is needed to achieve 2025 EU targets, Petcore Europe has found. In what the organisation described as a year of ‘extreme uncertainty’ for the PET and rPET value chains, figures published for 2022 show advancement in the market. However, ongoing disparities in the collection, sorting and recycling of PET around Europe will need to be addressed to achieve EU recycling targets in the mid and long-term, Petcore Europe said. PET collection and recycling accelerated in 2022 ahead of the […]https://lnkd.in/etvk2tk5 #plastics #packaging #sustainablepackaging #packagingdesign

"From December 2023, So Good (1-litre), UP&GO, and Toatl (500ml) will be packaged in clear PET bottles." If you notice a difference to Sanitarium packaging this month you're not imagining things. From today the food company will be moving to clear PET packaging for its bottled products. Previously 94% of bottled packaging from Sanitarium was already recyclable but the company is hoping to bring that number even closer to its 100% target by switching to clear PET plastics. It has been great to see more and more companies making the switch to clear plastics for food packaging over the last few months. Though it may not look like much of a noticeable change from a consumer's perspective, using clear (or even lighter) plastics for food packaging increases its recyclability greatly. This is because clear packaging can be turned into clear plastic, white plastic or just about any other colour. As well as improving recyclability, the new clear bottle packaging can also be collected and dropped off at all the new container deposit scheme drop-off points.

NEW BLOG | The #SingleUsePlastic Ban is now in effect. There’s a blanket ban on many single use food-to-go plastics, including expanded polystyrene (EPS) foodservice packaging🚫. While this ban might pose challenges for businesses in the foodservice industry, we have introduced an innovative and sustainable substitute – our exclusive kp Infinity® packaging♻️. In this blog post, we delve into the background of kp Infinity® and explain why it's a superb option to fulfill the current requirements of the foodservice market: Post-ban performance: https://ow.ly/vHvZ50Q0kCb #kpInfinity #FoodPackaging #RecyclableFoodPackaging

🔄♻️ The Hidden Impact of Plastic Colors on Recycling ♻️🔄 Have you ever considered the color of your plastic trays and how it affects their journey through the recycling process? 🔎 Light-colored plastics are the recycling world's unsung heroes, easily spotted by the optical scanners in automated sorting systems. These systems shine light to identify and sort materials, and the reflective nature of lighter plastics ensures they're seen and salvaged for future use. 🌱 As we aim for a sustainable future, it's crucial for both manufacturers and consumers to consider the end-of-life for plastic products. By choosing light-colored plastics made with recycled content, we can significantly improve recycling efficiency and reduce waste.
Sonoco’s dual-ovenable plastic trays and bowls for both refrigerated and frozen food products now offer even more versatility with a new light, ‘natural’ hue made from 30% recyclable PET materials, a colorant more easily detected and sorted at recycling centers.

📢 How European PET Bottle Platform (EPBP) can support PET bottle users in driving circularity? For more than 15 years, the EPBP has been instrumental in providing companies with an independent and confidential assessment on the recyclability🌿of their bottle packaging solutions to drive PET bottle circularity. This makes it possible to evaluate innovative packaging solutions still during their R&D phase, enabling adjustments to mitigate recycling challenges. The guidelines aim to strike a balance between resource efficiency, the need for innovation and shelf differentiation, and recycling practices in Europe 🌍. On top of the full-scale testing protocol, European PET Bottle Platform (EPBP) has also developed a series of quick and low-cost assessment techniques to allow producers to easily obtain rapid indications as to the recyclability of their packaging solutions. European PET Bottle Platform (EPBP) is supported by: UNESDA - Soft Drinks Europe, Natural Mineral Waters Europe (NMWE) & PETCORE EUROPE.

The EU needs to address the disparities in #packaging and packaging waste legislation. Packaging, whether it’s glass bottles, aluminium cans, or kegs, is indispensable for storing, transporting and enjoying beer. That’s why brewers have innovated and invested over many years to make our packaging ever more circular and sustainable, ensuring our sector has a positive impact on the planet. We take our responsibility seriously to minimise the environmental impact of beer packaging throughout the lifecycle by reducing, reusing and recycling. With more than half of the beer in the EU sold in reusable packaging, brewers have pioneered the setting up of reusable packaging collection systems for kegs and glass. In other countries, brewers have supported the establishment of world-leading recycling collections systems for cans and other glass bottles. This transition requires both investment and time. That is why we call for a policy framework that fosters a fair approach by recognising brewers’ leadership, supporting best practices already in place and ensuring that all competing sectors step up in cutting waste.
