Discover our range of packaging designed with the idea of a closed loop economy in mind. Our regrind, PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) and PIR (Post-Industry Recycled) packaging is becoming increasingly popular throughout Europe. Our range of packaging is designed for manufacturers who are committed to sustainable production and want to help reduce their negative environmental impact, while still providing a high quality product that meets all industry standards and requirements.
Our environmentally friendly packaging is created according to the concept of a closed loop economy, which means that as a manufacturer we use materials derived from recycled resources.
One of our solutions is eco packaging made from regranulate, which is made from recycled plastic. The regranulation process involves reprocessing plastic waste to produce high quality granules that can be used to make new packaging. This helps reduce the use of primary raw materials and the amount of plastic waste that ends up in landfills or the natural environment.
We offer eco packaging with PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) content, which is made from plastic derived from the recycling of consumer waste, and PIR (Post-Industry Recycled) content, which is derived from the recycling of post-industrial waste. The plastic used in the production of eco packaging is carefully sorted, recycled and transformed into new packaging. This allows us to recover valuable materials and minimise the negative impact on the environment.
More and more consumers around the world are looking for eco-friendly solutions when it comes to packaging. We are aware of this demand and are constantly adapting our production to offer innovative eco packaging that is environmentally friendly.
By using our packaging made from regranulate, PCR and PIR, manufacturers can not only meet market expectations, but also engage in environmental protection efforts. By choosing our eco-friendly packaging, they are helping to close the loop on resources, reduce waste and minimise the use of primary materials. In doing so, they co-create more sustainable and environmentally friendly solutions that will have a positive impact on the future.
Regranulates are dedicated exclusively to packaging used in the non-food industry.
At Plast-Box, the maximum recommended proportion of regranulates in bucket production is 60%. The lid and plastic handle are made only from original plastic; they considerably differ visually from the PIR/PCR bucket in the same colour. Our experience suggests using a lid in a different colour to avoid colour differences.
A proportion of up to 100% can be achieved physically, but it is important to realise that this increases the risk of resistance and the scale of testing as well as the Client’s responsibility and risk. The recommended dosage of up to 60% in the weight of the bucket is completely sufficient.
Regranulate packaging is not transparent, white packaging exists, but its availability is limited and it is more expensive. A light grey colour is recommended because of its ability to cover streaks and inclusions and its impact on better repeatability.
With a proportion of up to 60% regranulates, the packaging has similar quality parameters to that of the original material. Detailed parameters are available in the Ecological packaging (eco), eco packaging – manufacturer Plast-Box S.A. tab in the specification of a given bucket.
The price of a project with regranulates is determined individually following customer enquiries. The final price is determined by the quantity of regranulates used and the type of decoration. Packaging that includes recycled material is generally cheaper than packaging containing virgin material.
Yes, IML labels can be used on regranulate packaging. This means that the packaging loses none of its colour expression – but gains an ecological appearance.
PIR (Post-Industrial Recycled) material comes from production waste – we have our own regranulation line, giving us full control over the quality of our products. We issue a declaration confirming that the packaging is exempt from the product fee. PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) material comes from recycled consumer products.
Economic benefits: reduced production costs, possibility to benefit from subsidies and tax breaks. Sustainability: less waste in landfill, reduced consumption of natural resources, lower carbon footprint. Image benefits: building a responsible brand image.
The packaging is completely safe for even the most demanding non-food products and meets the highest quality standards.
The recommended choice is a batch of buckets for the non-food sector.
We dispense absorbers into the raw materials to reduce the smell intensity.
We have focused on light grey colours. Dark staining generates greater batch-to-batch colour variation.
