Circular food packaging at Faerch

Together for circularity in food packaging

 

We are committed to helping drive our industry towards circularity

Food packaging plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety of food products and avoiding food waste, but we need to be mindful of the impact we have on the world around us. As a leading provider of food packaging and circular PET recycling, we are aware of our responsibility in addressing the challenges facing our industry. Responsible business practises and sustainability have long been at the heart of our DNA, business strategy, and daily operations. We are committed to helping drive our industry towards true circularity.

We believe that a circular economy for food packaging is essential to ensuring a more sustainable future. This is not a distant vision at Faerch. The reality is that Faerch designs food packaging that protects food and keeps it safe while reducing food waste. And we innovate to ensure that our food packaging solutions can be recycled – keeping them in the economy and out of the environment. This is how we make sure that rigid food packaging is properly reused in a circular economy again and again.

 

Leading the transition to circular rigid food packaging

In our 2023 sustainability report we highlight the targets we have set and the initiatives which we will be rolled out in 2024. It emphasises how we are taking care of our employees and being responsible to everyone we are doing business with.

Certified transparency

At Faerch, we believe that more transparency is needed in the industry to help customers compare and evaluate products properly. As a consequence, we offer third-party validation of the post-consumer and pre-consumer content (rPET) in our recipes based according to ISO definitions. Our aim is to set a new industry standard allowing customers and consumers to identify and distinguish the real sustainability level of a food packaging product.

The world’s first integrated recycler

We have introduced products with more post-consumer recycled content than any other on the market. In addition, our Cirrec recycling facility in the Netherlands makes us the only food packaging company in the world to operate as an integrated recycler of PET pots, tubs, and trays, enabling us to recycle used PET food packaging back into new food grade products on an industrial scale.

 

Turning waste into food grade material

 

Evolve by Faerch

The Evolve by Faerch concept is the perfect example of how to achieve a circular economy. The trays are made from European post-consumer recycled content and can be fully recycled into new food grade trays of the same quality – again and again.

 

A concept with purpose
