Increasing the use of recycled plastic in production is one of Vieser’s main sustainability goals.
From now on, over 90% of the plastic used in Vieser’s packaging will be recycled plastic. This reduces the environmental impact of our packaging and supports the circular economy. We use about 3000 kg of packaging plastic annually, so this change will have a positive impact on our emissions. Using recycled plastic not only reduces emissions but also conserves natural resources.
– All small grating packages, spare part packages, and some of the floor drain packages are now made from recycled plastic. This is a step towards a more sustainable future, explains Janina Ollberg, Head of Portfolio & Sustainability.
– We are monitoring industry developments, especially regarding bioplastics, and exploring opportunities to reduce the use of packaging plastic. Additionally, we are investigating the possibility of using recycled materials for cardboard packagings well, Ollberg continues.
