CONTROVERSIAL DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE SUSTAINABILITY OF PACKAGING
Packaging makes goods transportable. They are the advertising medium on the shelf, but the most important thing is that packaging protects the contents and thus specifically counteracts waste and food waste!
Food waste along the entire supply chain from production through processing and packaging to the consumer is and remains a problem of our time. One thing is clear: good packaging and the right packaging are part of the solution.
At first glance, not packaging saves resources – the lack of a protective function with respect to the filling material leads to waste from the higher weighted filling material. In this respect, it is worth knowing that consumer packaging only accounts for a low 1-digit percentage in an overall eco-balance – which evaluates the contents and the packaging.
Even a ban on disposable packaging is not per se the more ecological solution. Although packaging material is saved, the processes involved in a reusable system usually cause a larger ecological footprint.
What we do:
Packaging makes goods transportable. They are the advertising medium on the shelf, but the most important thing is that packaging protects the contents and thus specifically counteracts waste and food waste! And that is an important contribution to the ecological footprint in Switzerland! And that’s what we do every day together with our partners!
