Plan to substantially improve sustainability in the range of plastic packaging tubes through significant weight reduction, increased use of recycled plastics and improved recyclability

PRTR Call for Proposals Project

The investment project proposed by the company will contribute to considerably improving the company’s circular economy since it mainly consists of: 1) The development of a new range of lightweight tubes: the project aims to manufacture tubes with a significant reduction in weight by acting on each of the parts that make them up (skirt, head and plug) in the Fliptop D30, D35, D40 and D50 tube range. 2) That this Product Range is completely Recyclable (Monomaterial): lightened tubes made of PE. 3) The incorporation of higher percentages of recycled material (PCR): tubes with a higher % of PCR material. Thus, this initiative not only promotes the reuse of recycled materials, thanks to the range of fully recyclable products (Monomaterial) and the incorporation of higher % recycled material (PCR), but above all it promotes the reduction of the use of virgin raw materials, as well as the minimization of waste generation with the development of lightweight tubes.

Line of action:

Private sector

Status:

En ejecución

Execution date:

2024

Duration:

01/10/2024 - 30/09/2026
