This project has seen the creation of mono-material films that initially feature 30% PCR. The PCR content was supplied by Ecoplast, a member of the Borealis Group. Borealis is one of the world’s leading providers of advanced and sustainable polyolefin solutions. The polymers were in turn extruded by Korozo into mono-material constructions for Henkel’s laundry detergents, such as Persil. Printing and converting of the packaging were carried out by Korozo on its high-end presses and pouchmaking lines. Products sold in these packs are already on shelves in Central Eastern Europe.
