Antalis Launches Green Initiatives For Packaging Antalis Packaging has announced two new initia- tives that aim to give customers information on en- vironmental products, encouraging them to select the best eco-friendly solutions. The Green Star System is a classification rating system that Antalis says is ‘grounded in a strict set of criteria’. It lists recycled material, sourced mate- rial and technical recyclability as examples of these criteria. The aim is for the complete range of Antalis Packaging’s own-brand Master’in products to have a Green Star environmental rating by 2025, while it hopes that 50 percent of suppliers’ packaging prod- ucts will also do so in the same timeframe. Green Card Alongside Green Star comes Green Card, which Antalis says is an ‘information concept’, designed to give in-depth environmental data on criteria such as recycled material, bio-sourced material, technical recyclability, reusability, GHG emissions, product certifications and origin. The company said that the initiatives follow on from a recent survey it conducted in partnership with IFOP, with customers in six countries (Den- mark, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Poland and the UK). This showed the extent of CSR com- mitments, particularly around packaging, where en- vironmental friendliness was the third most import- ant consideration in purchasing decisions. Circular economy, carbon footprint and product origin were other factors. UPM Raflatac’s RafCycle Wins Sustainability Award UPM Raflatac’s RafCycle recycling service has won a silver Sustainable Packaging Design of the Year 2023 award at the Australasian Packaging Innova- tion & Design (PIDA) Awards. The announcement came on Tuesday, March 28, at the PIDA Awards Gala Dinner. Recognizing Companies Coordinated by the Australian Institute of Packag- ing (AIP), the PIDA awards are designed to recog- nize companies and individuals who are making a significant difference in their field across Australia and New Zealand. By collecting and recycling the release liner waste through RafCycle, companies can reportedly close the recycling loop and support circular economy.
