“But with all these fantastic attributes we recognized the need to make our tubes more easily recyclable for the consumer. We saw the world changing, consumers starting to change buying behaviours to favour sustainable packaging, so we set ourselves a stretching target under our Better Planet Packaging initiative to make a 100% recyclable tube without compromising all the original great features. And after much hard work the Smurfit Kappa Eco-Tube was created!” continued Peter.
