There is no doubt that no product packaging at all is the most environmentally sustainable solution. However, many products simply require packaging – whether to protect the goods, ensure efficient transportation or extend the product’s shelf life. A folding carton made from solid board is an excellent choice, as paper fibres can be recycled multiple times.
Folding cartons are made from renewable and recyclable raw materials. For this reason, packaging made from solid board is an excellent choice. Cartonboard is not only renewable, but also recyclable and biodegradable.
As a responsible company that has always regarded “sustainability” as one of its core values, we are the ideal partner for sustainable packaging solutions. We would be happy to advise you on all aspects of folding cartons.
Cardboard is recyclable.
Folding cartons – including folding cartons with film windows – have been disposed of with waste paper and recycled through the paper recycling cycle for many years. They thus provide the raw material for new paper or cartonboard products.
The circular economy offers an extremely reliable solution in which recyclable products play a key role. The materials used in products are taken into account right from the design stage and considered throughout the entire product life cycle. With a circular economy approach, even before production begins, it is clear what will happen to raw materials and resources once the product has reached the end of its life cycle.
Protect forests for the long term.
The cartonboard used to manufacture folding cartons is made entirely from renewable, bio-based raw materials such as wood fibres and cellulose (or from recycled waste paper).
In Europe, these raw materials come exclusively from sustainable and mostly certified forestry (FSC, PEFC). Above all, this means that no tropical rainforests are destroyed to produce the cartonboard. Sources such as thinning wood, sawmill by-products or plantation timber are used. In addition, the area of managed forests does not decrease each year – it actually grows by an area equivalent to 1.5 million football pitches.
