Choose ecological packaging that is 100% recyclable at Plastic Union

Recyclable or biodegradable, which ecological packaging do you choose?

When people talk about ecological packaging, bio-degradable films quickly come to mind. However, biodegradable plastic does not exist in the form that many imagine. This assumes that these are fully biodegradable plastic materials that come entirely from renewable sources. Unfortunately, this is not the reality and rather involves material that is only partly renewable and also only partly degradable and thus certainly does not simply disappear completely into nature. This is why Plastic Union prefers the use of fully recyclable materials as a sustainable strategy.

Our recyclable ecological packaging as a sustainable solution

The least environmentally damaging packaging is one that is fully recyclable and hereby made from recycled materials. The advantage is that recycled plastic does not have to be mined or produced from virgin raw materials. In addition, it has already been used before and therefore does not have to end up in nature. Thus, plastic packaging can also be made truly circular.
Plastic Union therefore produces ecological packaging and films that are not only 100% recyclable, but also available in different recycled versions:

- PIR (Post Industrial Recycled): derived from industrial waste streams, such as manufacturing waste.

- PCR (Post Consumer Recycled): recovered from household waste or consumer packaging.

These films combine low ecological impact with reliable performance. They can be used in various sectors and can be fully tailored to the customer's requirements.

Ecological packaging that is light, strong and durable

Ecological impact is determined not only by material choice, but also by weight and efficiency. This is why at Plastic Union we also offer:

- Reinforced films: thinner, but just as strong. So you use less plastic per package.

- BIO-X films: made with renewable resources for those who want specific bio-material.

- Customized films: tailored to your machines, volumes and ecological ambitions.

We think along with you in function of your company and the climate. The more we choose films with recycled materials, the greater the demand for recyclate and the more valuable plastic waste becomes. So together we create a system in which recycling pays off. Where plastic does not disappear, but is used over and over again. And where packaging does not end up in the trash, but becomes part of a circular chain. Is your company also ready to take the leap? At Plastic Union we guide companies in the transition to truly ecological packaging. Request your quote today and find out how your company too can choose sustainable film as ecological packaging.
