What types of sustainable packaging should I go for?

Achtung! Der Inhalt dieser Seite ist nur in den folgenden Sprachen verfügbar: English - Italian

The most desirable types of sustainable packaging are (in order):

  • compostable (suitable to undergo industrial composting process)
  • recyclable (with a high enough percentage to be recycled)
  • recycled (coming from materials recovered through recycling processes).

Despite the fact that compostable laminating film represents the most virtuous choice in sustainable packaging for obvious waste recovery reasons, it is not always easy to create a compostable laminate that guarantees a high barrier for the products packed in it (a high barrier is always needed to ensure the product preservation).

Some recent Universal Pack machines have successfully launched in the market sachets & stick packs made of compostable laminating film. Indeed all Universal Pack machines come with a streamlined design and construction that allow for working with sustainable laminates.
