According to the company, blueloop solutions can be widely recycled.

“Collecting, sorting and reusing the recycled material are all part of the blueloop perspective.”

Huhtamaki currently has a network of 78 manufacturing units and an additional 24 sales-only offices in 34 countries. It employs approximately 17,700 people.

Huhtamaki Flexible Packaging sustainability and strategic innovation director Michael Hahl said: “For Huhtamaki, blueloop is more than a product range, it is a learning and development platform.

“We engage with the full supply chain from resin providers to our customers and recyclers. Our closest focus is on product design and manufacturing.

“However, collecting, sorting and reusing the recycled material are all part of the blueloop perspective.”

In February, the food packaging firm unveiled sustainable paper straws in an effort to provide customers with a more sustainable option when consuming cold drinks.
