Recycling made practical for food packaging
Food brands need packaging that is recyclable, food-safe and ready for changing regulation. Faerch helps make that possible with circular packaging solutions designed to work in practice and at scale.
Why it matters for your business
Recycling strengthens packaging resilience, lowers impact and supports material security. Faerch’s scalable model helps customers prepare for changing requirements
The Faerch approach
Faerch combines packaging production with recycling through Cirrec. This helps turn used pots, tubs and trays back into new food packaging in a controlled, food-grade loop
Complementary solutions
Beyond mechanical recycling, our portfolio includes rPP (mechanical and chemical), rPS (mechanical) and bio‑based PP, giving you more pathways to achieve circular packaging goals

Discover how our recycling model works
Used food packaging is collected, sorted, cleaned and recycled into high-quality post-consumer recycled (PCR) material that can be used in new food packaging.
CIRPET+™ is our recycled PET material made from used food packaging. It helps reduce reliance on bottle-based recycling streams while supporting performance and supply security.
Our recycling solutions are designed to work across a wide range of food packaging applications, from ready meals and food to go to dairy, produce and fresh protein.
Certified recycled content
Independent verification of recycled content provides confidence in material traceability, supports regulatory compliance and sustainability reporting, and helps substantiate credible recycled content claims. Through EN 15343 certification, recycled content is independently verified and traceable throughout the value chain, strengthening transparency and potentially unlocking financial benefits in markets where recycled content is incentivised.
For chemically recycled and bio-based feedstocks, ISCC PLUS certification supports traceability through a mass balance approach, helping verify the origin of circular and renewable feedstocks and supporting credible sustainability claims.
