Getting to grips with sustainable packaging

How team work and partnerships made our Non-Recycled Plastic Packaging (NRPP) project a success.

Plastic is an icon of modern life, it’s everywhere, its most prevalent form is packaging. Every year, Hager Group uses around 880 tons of plastic for packaging only. A change is definitely needed, so in January 2021 we set up a challenging, group-wide project looking into the various options to only use sustainable recycled packaging material. It involves 30 colleagues from areas such as sourcing, industrialisation, logistics, marketing and controlling among others. The goals are certainly very ambitious and the team is highly motivated; the Non-Recycled Plastic Packaging (NRPP) project has already reduced the amount of virgin plastic in packaging by almost 10% and is targeting 100%.
