To ensure consistent recycling, companies rely on consumers to separate their waste correctly. A new development from Greiner Packaging avoids this variable.<\/strong><\/p>

There are many ways to package yoghurt and other products. Cardboard-plastic combinations are an attractive and particularly sustainable type of packaging. They consist of a thin-walled plastic cup surrounded by a cardboard wrap. The packaging solution is characterised by a low plastic content and reduced CO2<\/sub>-emissions. If cardboard and plastic are separated and disposed of correctly, it is also easy to recycle.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

If consumers do not separate the cardboard wrap from the plastic cup, but dispose of the entire packaging in the light fraction (yellow bag\/yellow bin), the new K3 development from Greiner Packaging provides a remedy. This is because with the K3 r100, the cardboard wrap detaches itself from the plastic cup during the waste collection process.<\/strong> Berglandmilch is now the first company in Austria to use the self-separating cardboard-plastic cup.<\/p>

With the changeover to the packaging solution, the companies are Greiner Packaging<\/a> and Berglandmilch are not only launching sustainable packaging on the Austrian market. They also want to set an example. Both companies are in intensive and regular dialogue with political players and the dual system - the goal: Paper and cardboard that end up in the recycling stream of lightweight packaging should be sorted and recycled in future<\/strong>. Unlike in other countries, such as Germany, this is not currently happening in Austria.<\/p>

The K3 r100 makes it possible to significantly increase the recycling rates of cardboard-plastic combinations, regardless of whether the cardboard wrap is separated from the plastic cup or not. According to the company, the cup can achieve a recyclability of up to 98 per cent.<\/strong><\/p>
