Tackling waste challenges throughout the food value chain
Food packaging plays an essential role in feeding people, but when it’s not collected and recycled, it can be a source of waste – and World Bank projects global waste will increase by 70% by 20501. We can help build a circular economy2 by tackling challenges throughout the food value chain, from responsibly sourced renewable raw materials to end-of-life management.
Moving towards a circular economy
Our paper-based carton packages are already recyclable where adequate collection, sorting and recycling infrastructures are in place. In places where collection infrastructure is still being built up, we’re co-investing with recyclers in new equipment and facilities to increase recycling capacity. We collaborate with several stakeholders around the world to create market demand for recycled products – and we design our carton packages to increase the fibre content and use of recycled materials.
