Packaging materials
In future, Elb-Milch will incorporate the following sustainability aspects into the development and optimisation of packaging:
Responsibility:
The packaging selected should be as sustainable as possible. Packaging made of composite materials or packaging that is difficult to recycle should be avoided wherever possible.
Recycling:
The focus here is on the use of recycled materials, e.g. R-PET for PET bottles and cans and recycled paper for corrugated cardboard.
Substitution:
This refers to the switch to sustainable packaging materials such as the switch to FSC-certified paper grades for labels and corrugated cardboard.
Reduction:
Here we focus on saving packaging materials while maintaining the level of product protection. Our goal is to use less or modified packaging material in certain areas.
Recovery:
This refers to the use of packaging materials that are easy to recycle. At Elb-Milch, this includes tin cans, corrugated cardboard and transparent PET bottles and cans.
