Eviosys, a leader in sustainable packaging solutions, is driving change in the industry by addressing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions throughout the entire life cycle of its metal packaging products. With an emphasis on sustainability and innovation, the company has outlined a comprehensive approach to minimize environmental impact while maintaining the highest standards of product integrity.
Circularity at the Core: Metal as a Permanent Material
Eviosys’ packaging products are made from metal, a permanent material known for its infinite recyclability. Unlike many materials, metal retains its inherent properties even after repeated recycling, requiring minimal or no addition of primary materials. This makes it one of the most sustainable choices in packaging.
In fact, 100% of the metal arriving at recycling centers is effectively recycled or upcycled into new products. Steel, the world’s most recycled material, boasts an impressive recycling rate of 85.5% in Europe. Additionally, steel packaging in Europe contains an average of 58% recycled content, further underscoring its circularity credentials.
Tackling Carbon Emissions in Metal Production
While metal’s recyclability is unparalleled, its production is inherently CO2 intensive. To address this, Eviosys is partnering with local metal producers committed to the Paris Agreement’s goals. These producers are pioneering innovations to produce carbon-free metal by 2050, aligning with Eviosys’ long-term vision of offering packaging made from carbon-free, permanent materials.
By 2050, Eviosys aims to sell products with an average recycled content rate of 58% for steel and 50% for aluminum, ensuring the highest recycling rates possible while contributing to a lower-carbon future.
Localized Production for Reduced Emissions
Eviosys is also minimizing transportation-related GHG emissions by working with local suppliers and strategically situating production facilities closer to its customers. This localized approach not only reduces carbon emissions but also enhances supply chain efficiency.
Optimizing Material Use and Packaging Design
A critical part of Eviosys’ strategy involves reducing the quantity of materials used without compromising packaging integrity. By 2027, the company aims to accelerate the downgauging of its product lines, ensuring minimal metal usage while maintaining durability. Secondary packaging will also be minimized and reused wherever possible, contributing to waste reduction.
Commitment to Sustainable Innovation
Eviosys’ dedication to sustainability reflects its commitment to both environmental stewardship and industry leadership. With plans to reduce material usage, partner with carbon-conscious suppliers, and continuously innovate, the company is setting new benchmarks for sustainable packaging.
As the packaging industry faces growing pressure to adopt greener practices, Eviosys’ proactive measures and ambitious targets position it as a pioneer in the journey toward carbon neutrality and sustainable packaging solutions.
