End-of-Life Solutions: Beyond the Bin<br />

End-of-Life Solutions: Beyond the Bin

Sustainability doesn’t stop at the shelf, it extends to the very end of a package’s lifecycle. We design packaging with its next phase in mind, ensuring that it can be properly disposed of, recycled, or repurposed to minimize environmental impact. Our end-of-life solutions go beyond the bin, providing brands with sustainable options that reduce waste and promote circularity.

Our End-of-Life Strategies:

Infinitely Recyclable Materials

Glass and aluminum are infinitely recyclable, meaning they can be reused repeatedly without losing quality. We prioritize these materials to keep valuable resources in circulation and reduce reliance on virgin materials.

Compostable Packaging for Organic Waste Streams

We offer biodegradable and compostable packaging solutions that break down naturally in industrial and home composting environments, helping to divert waste from landfills.

Prioritizing Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) Materials

Incorporating PCR into packaging solutions helps keep plastic and other materials in circulation, reducing the demand for virgin resources and lowering overall environmental impact.

Upcycling Programs

Packaging should have a life beyond its original purpose. We work with brands to develop upcycling initiatives that encourage consumers to repurpose their packaging into new and useful items.

Take-Back Programs for Hard-to-Recycle Materials

Some packaging components are challenging to recycle through traditional municipal systems. Our take-back programs provide consumers with a responsible disposal pathway for materials that require specialized recycling.

Investing in Biodegradable Innovations

We stay at the forefront of material science, investing in research to develop new biodegradable packaging solutions that leave no harmful residue behind.

By integrating these end-of-life solutions into our packaging approach, we help brands create a more sustainable future—one where packaging doesn’t just serve a purpose but also leaves a lasting positive impact on the planet. Let’s work together to ensure that what we design today doesn’t become waste tomorrow.

Designing for Recyclability: Making Separation Simple

Recyclability is not just about the material, it’s about how easily a package can be processed in existing recycling systems. We focus on designing for disassembly, ensuring that components can be easily separated into their respective recycling streams.

Material Compatibility:

We choose materials that align with widely accepted recycling programs, avoiding multi-layer structures that hinder recyclability.

Easy Component Separation:

Mixed-material packaging often leads to contamination in recycling streams. We design packaging with separable caps, closures, and labels, making it easy for consumers to recycle properly.

Minimal Adhesives & Coatings:

Excessive adhesives, coatings, and laminates can prevent recyclability. We seek alternatives that maintain functionality while keeping materials recoverable.

Clear Consumer Guidance:

Proper disposal is key to effective recycling. We support brands in providing on-pack instructions to help consumers understand how to separate and recycle each component correctly.

By integrating recyclability into the design process, we help brands create packaging that is both high-performing and circular, keeping materials in use and out of landfills.
