Siegwerk Joins Initiatives For Circularity In Packaging During the first quarter of 2021 Siegwerk has joined two initiatives to promote circularity in packaging.The first initiative, 4evergreen, is a cross-industry alliance with members representing the whole packaging val- ue chain and aiming to optimize fibre-based packaging circularity as well as climate performance. 4evergreen endeavors to raise the overall recycling rate of fibre-based packaging to 90 percent by 2030. The goal is to be accomplished through the initiatives and insights from different workstreams comprised of 4evergreen members focusing on different aspects of collection, sorting and recycling as well as the circular design of fibre-based packaging. The second initiative, CosPaTox, is an EU project to establish a quality standard for non-food plastic post-consumer recyclates from mixed feedstock input streams. A recognized obstacle to introducing recycled plas- tics to package consumer goods is the scarcity of qual- itatively acceptable recyclates.While there is a reason- ably large volume of generally usable post-consumer waste already collected and processed in many EU countries, these don’t meet the legal requirements for food safety. Enabling the use of recycled non-food plastics for cosmetics or cleaning products packaging is an im- portant part of creating circularity in the value chain. To address this, CosPaTox initiative is working to- wards the creation of additional quality definitions. In scope of the project are the following applications:
