Sustainability

Valio will now package all Valio PROfeel quark products in recyclable paperboard cups. The change will result in 143 tonnes less plastic being used. According to Valio, this commitment contributes to the national target for a reduction in single-use, single-serving plastic packaging.  

The company reports that it has “significantly reduced” the amount of plastic in its packaging for many years, for example by eliminating detachable lids/caps, plastic spoons and straws from single-serving packages and by using thinner plastic in its packaging. 

Building on the success of their previously launched double-walled glass jar (JGP) in February 2023, APC Packaging is proud to offer a new version that incorporates additional sustainability features, making it an even more desirable choice for skincare and beauty brands worldwide.

Repsol has added a range of chemically recycled ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymers to its Reciclex portfolio. The Spanish petrochemical giant says this is the first product on the market to incorporate 100% circular AV from chemical recycling.

The move comes after Repsol invested €26 million in the installation of a new Reciclex production line at its Puertollano Industrial Complex in Spain. The company said the facility, where Repsol’s Primeva range of conventional EVA is produced, was ‘vital in developing, testing, and finally producing’ the new solution.
