End of Life Disposal
We promote sustainable packaging design, increased recycling rates and efforts to reduce packaging litter. Recycling, as part of a Circular Economy is our preferred system, ensuring the highest worth is realised from raw materials. We work directly with waste management and resource recovery stakeholders to develop increasingly sustainable options for product disposal, including diverting products into new recycling streams.
