As a company, we have been working for some time to reduce our footprint and reduce our waste flows. An important point for improvement here are the plastic polybags in which our bags are packed. Unfortunately, this packaging is necessary to protect the products against moisture and dirt during transport and storage. Years ago we already started packing bags per 5 or more pieces in 1 polybag, in order to reduce our plastic waste. But now, after a long search, we have an improved solution: polybags made from recycled polybags!
How does this work? Old polybags are collected (mono-flow), any printing is removed and the plastic is cleaned. Granules are then made from this, which in turn can be used to make new R-LDPE polybags. The polybag can be slightly less transparent, but offers the same protection of the product and in any case does not cause extra waste or extra use of petroleum. Another step to a lower footprint! Naturally, the polybags are certified with the GRS certificate (Global Recycling Standard).
