Sustainability
The good news is that plastics are sustainable when they are circular. By applying the circular economy and its three main principles – the 3R’s: reduce, reuse, and recycle –, it is possible to save both environmental and financial resources in industrial plastic packaging worldwide. Here is how.
The 3R’s: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle
Reduce
Designing out plastic waste and pollution
Plastic materials are often chosen for packaging applications that require toughness and impact resistance thanks to their enhanced durability, which in turn guarantees product safety. The significant light weight and design freedom make it a versatile material that reduces the costs of shipping and transportation. More importantly, these features allow for considerable energy and space savings, besides reducing cost and CO2 emissions.
Reuse
Keeping plastics in continuous use
Understandably, not all products can be packed in recycled packaging due to high product protection demands. However, it is estimated that at least 20% of plastic packaging can be reused multiple times until its quality deteriorates (ScienceDirect).
Recycle
Regenerating natural systems
“
At MS Thakarwal , we’re committed to reducing our environmental footprint .
Sustainable Products
Producing a huge range of eco-friendly packaging.
Our eco-packaging range includes biodegradable and compostable products that leave no harmful waste behind, whilst we also produce a huge range of recyclable products and packaging made from 100% recycled material.
Our Garbage bags products consists of a minimum 35% recycle content.
We purchase domestic plastic waste and carry out in-house recycling in order to factilitate for our garbage bag raw material consumption.
Sustainable Production
- Production Waste.
- Electrical Consumption – We only used high efficiency motors with inverters as ways to bring down our electrical consumption.
- Water Consumption – Have in Build a Rain Water Harvest station in the factory as one of our efforts to reduce water consumption.
Sustainable Programs
Our Plastic Goals - By 2030 we will,
- Reduced the amount of virgin plastic we use in our packaging by 50%.
- Collect and process more plastic waste packaging by 35%.
- Ensure that 100% of our plastic packaging is designed to be fully reusable , recyclable or compostable.
- Use 50% recycled plastic into our packaging.
