SÜDPACK has released its latest report highlighting progress in the firm’s sustainability journey.
The film manufacturer has documented progress across three core areas: circular economy, climate protection, and social responsibility.
Since 2016, SÜDPACK has provided insights into its business development through its annually published Sustainability and Progress Reports. The latest product innovations include the PharmaGuard and NutriGuard blister films, Peel PET floatable top webs, and the new CarbonLite family of recyclable PP and PE-based tubular pouch films.
“Sustainability means keeping valuable raw materials and material structures in the loop. What we produce today must not become waste tomorrow,” said managing partner Carolin Grimbacher, who oversees R&D.
For several years, as part of its ZERO WASTE strategy, the company has been recycling production-related plastic waste into granules and compounds at its own materials facility. Where feasible and economically viable, external plastic fractions are diverted to chemical recycling. The reporting period saw a further 8% reduction in waste volumes.
SÜDPACK revealed it also improved its corporate carbon footprint between 2021 and 2024 by a total of 24%. Last year, renewable sources made up 53% of the group’s total energy consumption, with 88% of its electricity coming from renewables. Over the same period, energy consumption decreased by 17% and emissions fell by 24% compared to 2021.
