Pellenc Renews Emphasis On ‘Design For Recycling’ Stating“Design for Recycling is emerging as one of the key solutions” to boosting recycling rates, France-based equip- ment and technology provider Pellenc ST said it is creating a dedicated Design for Recycling unit in 2021. “Companies know that they need to rethink their manu- facturing processes to reduce their environmental impact,” the firm stated. “These issues have become a central con- cern in their new product design strategies, as well as in the eyes of consumers.” “To accelerate the development of the circular economy and further support those partners, Pellenc ST is innovat- ing and creating a dedicated Design for Recycling unit in 2021,” stated the company.“The role of that unit is to meet the specific needs of packaging producers.The team helps such producers develop test protocols and shares its busi- ness expertise through diagnostics and recommendations for improvements.” The Pellenc STTest Center will be available to“validate the ‘sortability’of [proposed] packaging in the real-life conditions of a material recovery facility (MRF),” stated the company. Brands Commit To Next Gen Solutions Twenty-nine new brands ranging from footwear, to food and beverage, to beauty brands, and fashion companies, have committed to Pack4Good and will eliminate forest fiber from their packaging while speeding the uptake of Next Gen Solutions for packaging made from things like agricultural residues instead. The Pack4Good initiative now comprises 156 brands, worth more than $78.5 billion in revenue. Eliminating Fiber Roughly three billion trees are cut down every year for paper packaging.That is 95 trees every second, more than 5,000 every minute, over eight million every day,many from the world’s most integral forests. That’s a massive number of trees going into packaging that is often thrown out in seconds, resulting in major impacts to climate, biodiversity, and human health. The Pack4Good initiative is the brainchild of internation- al environmental organization Canopy. The initiative, just more than eighteen months old, is geared to working with some of the largest industry players in the fashion, food and beverage, and beauty and care industries to save forests and speed the uptake of Next Gen Solutions that use agricultur- al residue to make paper packaging. Pack4Good partners are committed to ensuring that, by the end of 2022, all their packaging is: • Free of Ancient and Endangered Forests. • Designed to reduce material use. • Maximizing recycled and alternative Next Generation fibres (such as agricultural residues). • Using FSC-certified wood when virgin forest fibre con- tinues to be used.
