Something is happening in Scandinavia: As part of the Nordic Swan Ecolabel, there has been a change in the law, according to which packaging and closures may no longer be coloured with soot. Greif has therefore developed a plastic screw cap that is black but remains soot-free.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In response to the challenge of recycling black plastic, the company has Griffin<\/a> has developed a soot-free plastic screw cap for its canisters. Conventional black plastics, which contain carbon black as a colouring agent, cannot be detected by recycling plants using near-infrared (NIR) technology and often end up in landfill. The new packaging material uses a alternative black colour that does not contain carbon<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201eThe new closures are easier to sort for recycling and we hope that in time they will become the standard across Europe and even globally. It's a small step, but it has a big impact and underlines our commitment to producing innovative, safe and high performance products with a low environmental impact. Innovations like this support our determination to strive for a low-carbon future and minimise the use of raw materials by developing new products and solutions that support a circular economy.\u201c<\/p>
