Crocco materials ahead of the pack for sustainability

“Well done to our partners at CROCCO on receiving this recognition! The Greenside model sets the benchmark for achieving genuine progress on sustainability in packaging,” commented Yorkshire Packaging Systems MD, Glyn Johnson. “The Greenside method is an ideal starting point when we discuss with them how to achieve the best solution for their operations.”

Examining every aspect of packaging

The greenside model includes examining the following aspects of packaging:

• Carbon neutral – A full analysis of embodied carbon.
• Downgauging – The reduction of packaging thickness to lower overall plastic use.
• Biobased – The introduction of packaging manufactured from renewable raw materials.
• Use of Recycled content – The introduction of recycled polyethylene into films currently produced with only virgin polymer.
• Compostable materials – CROCCO has developed the first biodegradable and compostable cling film, LEAF.
