Recycling initiatives continue to be one of the most active sustainability areas, driven by challenging Plastic Pacts around the world that are part of a three-pronged objective to deliver 100% recyclable packaging by 2025. Packaging taxes that require 30% recycled content are influencing change as well as the focus on stretching recycling targets. We are seeing more chemical recycling initiatives as well as recycled PS and PP developments coming to our attention.

Global consumer goods manufacturer Procter & Gamble is moving its Ariel and Lenor all-in-1 pods into recyclable board packaging. The new packs will be made from at least 70% recycled fibers, is FSC-certified (Forestry Stewardship Council), and is fully recyclable. The new packs contain a maximum of 5% plastic to protect the pods. The move will save up to 900 metric tons of plastic annually across Germany, Austria and Switzerland. After use, the packs can be recycled with paper and board. The company says that adults can open the Ecoclic box intuitively while remaining securely closed for children. The box makes an audible ‘click’ once it is fully closed. To aid the visually impaired, the new packaging has tactile markers on the top in the shape of a washing machine. Also, NaviLens technology on the packaging ensures that the most important product information is also accessible to people with impaired vision.
