Henkel’s Persil detergent packaging, made by Grenier Packaging, is now more sustainable, thanks to it containing 50 per cent recycled polypropylene obtained from discarded household plastics.
The cardboard-plastic combination of the packaging received a Henkel Sustainability Award as recognition of the qualities.
Thanks to its innovative tear-off system, the cardboard wrap and the plastic container can be easily separated and recycled.
Andreas Auinger, International Project Manager at Greiner Packaging, said: “By using r-PP, we’re taking another important step forward in terms of the sustainability of our cardboard-plastic packaging materials.”
“Thanks to our innovative two-layer process, we’re meeting the highest standards of sustainability while also making sure that the packaging’s attractive appearance is retained.”
