Reduce, reuse and recycle are three ways to lower the impact of packaging, also for stand up pouches like doypacks, flat bottom bags and side gusset bags.

• Reduce: choose smarter sizes and thinner films, minimise ink and extras, so you use less material while keeping the same protection. Think of a more compact doypack or a flat bottom bag with the right film thickness.
• Reuse: encourage reuse with refill packaging and sturdy pouches that can be used multiple times, for example a flat bottom coffee pouch with a reclosable zipper or a side gusset bag as a refill.
• Recycle: make your packaging highly recyclable by choosing mono material solutions such as mono PE or mono PP pouches and provide clear sorting instructions. Paper pouches can go with paper waste when they are fully paper, and mono material plastic pouches fit existing plastic recycling streams.
