Wipak|Green Choice – Recyclable
To contribute to a greener future, consumers must make sustainable choices. But it is our responsibility to help make that choice as easy as possible. The packaging they are offered must be sorted and recycled properly if it is to stay within the value chain as part of a circular economy.

We design our packaging in alignment with recognised ‘Design for Recycling’ guidelines, such as CEFLEX D4ACE Guidelines. This enables packaging to be recycled while improving the sortability of different types of packaging solutions.

We know that recycling is a shared challenge for consumers, producers, and us - with varying legislation and infrastructure between countries only adding to the complexity. Regardless, we are transforming our packaging portfolio to align with the EU target of having all plastic packaging recyclable, reusable, or compostable by 2030.

Many of our solutions are already certified recyclable. To understand more about certifications and regional differences, our experts are at your disposal and will support you in making the greenest choice for your specific geography.

Disposal

Every recycling process begins with the correct separation and disposal of each packaging component.
We are committed to making this as easy as possible for consumers with transparent communication.

Collecting

The disposed packaging components are then collected by local waste management companies and transported to the appropriate sorting facilities.

Sorting

In sorting facilities, individual materials are allocated to various recycling streams.
Whether materials are considered recyclable can differ based on region.

Recycling

Currently, the use of recyclates from post-consumer packaging waste (PCR) in food packaging is limited to recycled PET.
We are continually developing strategies with our partners to increase the share of recycled materials in food packaging and realise a complete circular economy.

How can we contribute to better sorting?

The answer to this lies in what we see as the most promising technology in the waste sorting industry:
Digimarc®.

In this process, digital watermarks are integrated into the printed image of the packaging, leading to a revolution along the entire value chain. This revolution begins with the optimisation of internal logistical processes and extends through interaction possibilities at the POS, right through to recycling.

Within the framework of the Digital Watermarks Initiative HolyGrail 2.0, this technology is tested for the sorting function of various recycling plants on a large scale.

Digimarc® enables the sorting of packaging components into the individual recycling streams and will make an immense contribution to the responsible handling of packaging waste in the future.
