Advantages R-PET versus Pulp

Made from recycled material that can be further recycled – optimal cycle through monomaterial without colors and additives
Lowest CO2 footprint, lowest water and energy consumption – confirmed by a Life-cycle-assessment study by independent experts
40% lighter than paper, takes up 50% less space – reduces transport emissions, saves storage space
Optimal protection for food, reduces the risk of breakage – thus less food waste, no negative impact on food
More efficient in handling during packaging – therefore less impact, no dust generation

THE LOWER ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF OUR EGG PACKAGING

FOR AVERAGE EU CONDITIONS

FOR AVERAGE USA CONDITIONS

The R-PET footprint (aggregated result) is 40% lower than the pulp footprint.

If 100 million eggs are packed in R-PET instead of pulp, then CO2 emission can be reduced by 410 tons – this is equivalent to 2.6 million kilometers driven by cars.

Aggregated environmental impacts are calculated with Swiss Ecoscarcity Method.

The R-PET footprint (aggregated result) is 39% lower than the pulp footprint.

If 100 million eggs are packed in R-PET instead of pulp, then CO2 emission can be reduced by 620 tons – this is equivalent to 3.9 million kilometers driven by cars.

WorldStar for Sustainability Award 2015

Our commitment to environment resulted in the WorldStar for Sustainability Award 2015.

In 2015, greenhouse gases in extent of 18,000 metric tons of CO2 could be avoided due to our egg packaging made of R-PET. This corresponds to savings of 79 million kilometers covered by cars.
