Whether with ocean plastics, recycled plastic and plastic from corns – we are committed to making all our payment cards virgin plastic free by 2030 the latest. 💳♻️ Last year, G+D became the first manufacturer to produce cards from 100% recycled PVC (polyvinyl chloride). This is something we must and can change in the payment card industry – we have been able to reduce around 75% of the CO2 emissions generated during production by recycling discarded PVC. The added value goes beyond that - because by recycling, we can help the environment twice. In collaboration with @Parley for the Oceans, we take plastic collected from coastal areas and islands and use it to make payment cards with a new purpose. Banks can thus provide their customers the possibility to use their payment cards as a social statement and thus strengthen their relationships. #paymentcards #ecofriendly #recycled #banking #innovation

"According to the World Bank, global waste is predicted to increase 70% by 2050 unless immediate and significant action is taken." Reading that Tetra Pak plans to invest up to €40m annually over the coming years, in line with its targets on collection and recycling of beverage cartons, is exactly the kind of step packaging businesses should be taking to offset their environmental impact - and something we're always championing at Dufaylite. Our commitment to less materials, less weight, and therefore less waste, is just one step we're taking. Read more on Tetra Pak's ambitions: https://bit.ly/3pqgEOK #EarthDay #recycling #Dufaylite

The trial will take place from January to March 2024 and will be limited to selected cities in the UK.   In recent times, The Coca-Cola Company has taken several steps to reduce packaging waste. One of the measures includes changing the color of Sprite bottles from green to clear plastic to make it easier to recycle them back into bottles. Additionally, the company has introduced attached caps to its bottles to ensure that the cap remains connected to the bottle after opening, thereby reducing the likelihood of littering.   Initiatives like these are a significant step forward in sustainability, inspiring other brands to follow suit and reduce the environmental impacts of their products.
