Sustainbility

Sustainability is a top priority for IKON MULTIPACK

IKON MULTIPACK is committed to developing sustainable and economically viable flexible packaging solutions that reduce food and plastic waste

We strive to minimize the environmental impact and footprint of our manufacturing operations while continuously developing more environmentally friendly flexible packaging products

We are committed to fighting food waste and climate change

Plastic packaging is not the enemy. It requires less energy to manufacture compared to other packaging materials, it helps protect and preserve food, and provide safe products to consumers worldwide. Plastics are part of the solution!

But we must work together to minimize plastic waste and move to a circular economy.

SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING SOLUTIONS

Recyclable, bio-based, downgauging, recycled content, compostable or biodegradable and so much more… There are many alternatives and we can help you navigate this space and help you make the best decisions for your company and the environment

RECYCLABILITY:

100% of our PE FILMS are RECYCLABLE!

Our Films are made of polyethylene film and can be recycled.

SOURCE REDUCTION:

Our film products allow companies to reduce material usage by downgauging, without compromising performance

RECYCLED CONTENT:

We are working on developing new products incorporating post-industrial recycled (PIR) and post-consumer recycled (PCR) content. Helping drive the need for recycled materials in the marketplace. More information contact us.

BIODEGRADABLE / COMPOSTABLE:

Unfortunately, most plastic waste is currently not being recycled and ends up in landfills. However, we are capable of manufacturing biodegradable and compostable films as end of life alternatives.

RENEWABLE RESOURCES:

Bio-based content is also a possibility! We partner with companies who provide resins made from renewable materials such as corn, potato or other starches to reduce our dependency on fossil fuels

We are continuously working towards reducing the impacts of our process and to improve our energy efficiency:

  • We are currently studying the environmental impacts of our products with a life cycle analysis to target specific aspects for improvement
  • We recycle our internal extrusion waste and use it to make more film
  • We work with partners who recycle our waste and make new products such as plastic products.
  • We work hard to reduce our energy usage and improve efficiencies.
  • We are working on optimizing our supply chain to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions.
