Performance Packaging
Lightweight, durable, and flexible – the protective properties of plastic make it one of the world’s most sustainable performers in delivering environmental, economic and social value.
- Reduces materials – 2 lbs of plastic deliver the same amount of liquid as 3 lbs of aluminum, 8 lbs of steel, or 27 lbs of glass.
- Saves energy – Flexible packaging is lighter in weight and more compact than traditional materials (glass, aluminum, cardboard), allowing more truckloads of food to be loaded and transported using less fuel.
- Reduces harmful emissions – Organic waste in landfills emit methane: a GHG with 23 times more global warming potential than CO2 and plastic packaging helps keep food out of the landfill.
- Saves resources – By preventing food from spoiling and protecting consumer goods from damage during distribution.
- Reusable resource - Can be recycled to polymer or for energy at the end of its initial life.
