More and more companies are recognizing the need to reduce their environmental impact and packaging often plays an important role in this effort.
There is always a more environmentally friendly alternative
From the very beginning, the idea behind Creopack has been to offer packaging that takes both function and the environment into account. Therefore, we are continuously working to develop and offer smarter and more sustainable alternatives in glass, plastic and closures.
At the same time, there is rarely just one solution that fits all. The choice of packaging is often about finding the right balance between product, logistics and environmental considerations. We offer several options that can contribute to a more sustainable packaging solution.
Glass with recycled material
Glass is a material that can be recycled again and again without losing its properties. Many glass containers today are made with a high proportion of recycled glass.
In some models, we offer bottles made from 100% Post-Consumer Recycled glass (PCR ). This means that the glass comes from already used and recycled glass products.
Lightweight bottles
Another important factor for the environmental impact is the weight of the bottle. Lighter bottles require less raw material and also reduce emissions during transportation.
We offer lightweight bottles that meet Systembolaget's requirements, making them a smart choice from both an environmental and logistics perspective.
Ultralightweight bottles
To further reduce material use, ultra-lightweight bottles are also available. These bottles are even lighter but retain the same function and quality.
Systembolaget also prioritizes this type of bottles, as they contribute to reducing climate impact.
rPET - plastic with recycled content
Many of our plastic packaging is made of rPET, which means that the plastic is made from recycled materials.
Depending on the product, our bottles can be made with different levels of recycled content - up to 100% rPET. This way, you can choose how environmentally friendly your packaging should be.
Monobloc cork stoppers
The closure also plays an important role. Monobloc corks are made from a single material, making them easier to recycle compared to many traditional corks. The simple material structure can also contribute to lower producer fees in recycling systems in Sweden and other countries.
It's a simple way to make the whole package more recyclable.
Monomaterial pumps
We also offer mono-material pumps, which are designed to consist of fewer materials. This makes them easier to sort and recycle - an example of how even small components can contribute to a more sustainable packaging solution.
