The new cardboard\/plastic cups for Harvest Moon's fermented yoghurt alternatives are based on 100 per cent r-PET for the plastic cup<\/strong>. New material is not used and the CO2<\/sub>-emissions significantly. \"By switching from virgin PP to r-PET, we can reduce CO2<\/sub> save money,\" explains Jan Srnka, Sales Manager at Greiner Packaging<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

As the new cups are made from 100 per cent recycled, unprinted r-PET mono-material, they can be reprocessed into 100 per cent food-safe cups time and time again, provided the corresponding collection streams are available. The Recycling the cups requires less energy than using new material<\/strong>and less waste is produced. <\/span><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Cardboard-plastic combinations have positive sustainability aspects: The cardboard wrap, which can be made from recycled material, gives the plastic cup stability so that it can be produced with thin walls<\/strong> can be realised.<\/p>

In addition, thanks to a new, innovative tear-open mechanism, the cardboard wrap can be easily removed from the cup by the consumer, the two Components disposed of separately and subsequently recycled<\/strong> can be recycled. As the white or transparent plastic cup is unprinted, it makes an excellent recycling material. What's more, the CO2<\/sub>-footprint of K3 cups is significantly reduced compared to packaging alternatives.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
