What do you mean by “sustainable packaging”?
We choose smart materials that create less waste, are easy to recycle and can be reused. This helps you package with as little environmental impact as possible. Questions? Contact us or give us a call.
Which criteria do you use to assess sustainability?
We look at the material structure, recyclability, compostability, CO2 impact and the local processing infrastructure per country. Questions? Contact us or give us a call.
How does PouchDirect help me choose?
We advise you on material choice, legislation and local processing, and we test together what fits your product. Questions? Contact us or give us a call.
Can all bags be sustainable?
Not always. Sometimes a high barrier is needed. We then look for the best balance between protection and environmental impact.
What are the benefits of sustainable packaging?
Lower waste costs, a stronger brand image, better compliance and a better match with customer expectations. Questions? Contact us or give us a call.
Does sustainable packaging get expensive quickly?
We keep it transparent. We share examples, numbers where possible, and we help you choose options that are easy to explain, for example mono material options. Questions? Feel free to contact us or call us directly.
How do you keep the information up to date?
We update it regularly and whenever relevant laws change. We share key updates per sustainability topic via the green buttons on this page. Want to know more? Email or call us.
Which legislation should I know about?
EU PPWR, SUP and national implementation. We translate the rules into practical choices per market. We explain the most relevant laws on the “Legislation” page, available via the green button on this page.
How do I measure impact or savings?
You can look at CO2 savings, waste reduction, material reduction, return rates and recycling rates. Feel free to contact us if you want help.
What does it cost compared to standard packaging?
Sustainable options are usually not more expensive, or only slightly more expensive, than stand up pouches with traditional materials. Scale, efficient design and material choices can reduce the price further. Questions? Email or call us.
