Cartonplast. Sustainability Through Circularity.

The responsible use of resources is an important part of how we operate. For this reason, Cartonplast has relied on reusable transport packaging since the company was founded. Our activities are guided by environmental, social, and economic considerations. The requirements of our customers, the satisfaction of our employees, and our business success go hand in hand.

At Cartonplast, we are committed to our customers, their customers, our employees, and their interests. Our contribution is the Cartonplast recycling system, which is based on a proven circular model through the reuse of transport packaging in the container industry and the recycling of the materials used.

We promote the reuse of transport packaging within our closed-loop system.

Thanks to our closed-loop system, we ensure that the materials returned to us are recycled through qualified partners. We take responsibility for the collection, sorting, and transportation of these materials through to recycling.

We take a holistic view of sustainability and consider environmental, economic, and social aspects throughout the product lifecycle. Reusable transport packaging is an important part of our business model. To transparently assess the environmental impacts of our products, we regularly commission independent Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs).

The following example compares the environmental impacts of polypropylene (PP) layer pads and cardboard (CB) layer pads throughout their entire lifecycle.

In the application scenario analysed, the use of polypropylene (PP) plastic layer pads compared to cardboard (CB) layer pads resulted in the following findings*:

All results should be understood in the context of a full life cycle of a single polypropylene (PP) layer pad, which corresponds to 50.58 disposable CB layer pads. For each selected indicator, the environmental impact of PP layer pads are lower than that of cardboard (CB) layer pads.
