In our daily lives, we are all faced with major environmental challenges.
The packaging we manufacture and use is one of them.
As a manufacturer of packaging solutions, CGP COATING INNOVATION has long been looking for ways to reduce its impact and the impact of its customers through alternatives that are less harmful to the environment but just as effective in protecting and stabilising goods.
To this end, CGP Coating Innovation’s teams are constantly contributing to the improvement of all the products they manufacture:
- Sourcing sustainable materials from suppliers,
- eco-designing solutions
- reducing CO2 emissions at every stage of the manufacturing process.
There are many ways to reduce your environmental impact, and we’re going to help you do it.
How do you recognise eco-responsible packaging?
There is no official definition of eco-responsible or sustainable packaging. It has been designed to contribute to sustainability and environmental protection. It offers opportunities for recycling, reuse and composting.
Recycling packaging is an effective way of reducing its environmental impact, as it allows existing materials to be reused, thereby reducing waste pollution.
To find out whether your packaging is sustainable, you need to ask yourself the right questions:
1. Is the material used to make the packaging renewable or recycled?
A renewable material is one made from natural resources that regenerates naturally and quickly, helping to reduce your ecological footprint.
2. Is the packaging reusable or recyclable?
Recyclable packaging is packaging that can be processed so that it can be used again. This process reduces waste and pollution, and helps preserve natural resources by using existing material rather than creating new ones.
3. Does the packaging and machinery used throughout the logistics process have a low carbon footprint?
The packaging and machinery you choose for your logistics process will help to reduce your carbon footprint by choosing the right materials and reducing the use of plastic film.
How can CGP Coating Innovation help you?
The environmental shift is part of a regulatory and fiscal framework. The trend is unstoppable and markets are closing in on the least environmentally friendly companies. That’s why CGP Coating Innovation can help you design a product that meets environmental requirements right from the start. This is what we call eco-design.
Eco-design involves integrating environmental protection into the design of the product. The aim is to minimise the impact on the environment at every stage of the life cycle, including the extraction of raw materials, manufacture, distribution, use and end of life.
The approach often begins with an analysis of the product’s life cycle. This analysis assesses the overall impact of the product. It is based on 14 observation indicators divided into 6 major families. It thus offers avenues for improvement on the most significant criteria.
Today, the Group is constantly developing eco-friendly solutions to meet the needs of its customers. For example, it has worked with its teams to develop , a complete range of STABULON® anti-slip pallet interlayers that are eco-designed while retaining the same characteristics to keep your products safe.
