Ecopack Achieves CEPI Certification for Recyclability of Plumpy and Pie Line!

Ecopack, a leader in sustainable packaging solutions, has recently achieved CEPI (Confederation of European Paper Industries) certification for the recyclability of their Plumpy and Pie line of products. This certification marks a significant milestone in our commitment to environmental sustainability, demonstrating that their products meet rigorous standards for being recycled within the paper and board industry.

What is CEPI Certification?

CEPI certification ensures that paper and packaging products are recyclable within standard European recycling systems. For Ecopack, this means that the Plumpy and Pie lines, which are widely used in the baking and food industries, can be efficiently processed, recovered, and reused as part of a circular economy.

Benefits for the Environment

The recyclability of packaging plays a critical role in reducing waste and minimizing the environmental impact of production and consumption. By ensuring that the Plumpy and Pie moulds are recyclable, Ecopack helps:

1. Reduce Landfill Waste: Recyclable packaging minimizes the need for waste to be sent to landfills, which are a significant source of environmental pollution.
2. Lower Carbon Footprint: Recycling materials generally uses less energy than creating new ones, which helps in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
3. Support Circular Economy: When packaging is recycled, it can be used to create new products, conserving natural resources and supporting a sustainable production cycle.

Recyclability vs Compostability: A Clear Distinction

A quick distinction between recyclability and compostability: often mentioned together, they serve different environmental functions, and each countries have different policies about the products end-of-life.

So, what’s the goal?

Ecopack’s CEPI certification is a major step forward in aligning with global environmental goals.

By promoting the recyclability of our Plumpy and Pie moulds, our goal is helping reduce waste and conserve resources, making a meaningful contribution to environmental protection.
