Papier-Mettler offers one of the leading recycling capacities in Europe in the industry, as well as recycling concepts tailored to individual customers. With the aim of forming a closed loop, we are your efficient supplier of packaging solutions and at the same time an innovative disposal partner for plastic waste.

As early as 1992, Papier-Mettler opened its first recycling plant at its headquarters in Morbach. Since then, the recycling capacity has been increased continuously.
Recycling has a long tradition at Papier-Mettler: post-consumer recycling (PCR) is a technically demanding process compared with industrial recycling (IR). Specialist technical knowledge and experience are prerequisites that Papier-Mettler fulfils and uses to produce high-performance, resource-efficient packaging solutions.

REDUCE WASTE − USE MATERIAL SPARINGLY − CUT EMISSIONS

Packaging of the ecoLoop range is made from recycled used film and produced in a closed material loop. Film waste is processed into new recycled packaging. Industrial film packaging consists of 30–50% and carrier bags of at least 90% post-consumer recycled (PCR) material.

Industrial film packaging consists of 30-50% and carrier bags at least 90% Post Consumer Recycling (PCR) material.

Packaging made from PCR material is recyclable and reduces the amount of waste. The consumption of fossil raw materials is lower (over 80% lower for carrier bags compared with virgin material) and CO2e emissions* are reduced (up to 40% CO2e savings* for carrier bags compared with films based on primary raw materials).

ecoLoop carrier bags are designed for multiple use, have a very favourable life-cycle assessment compared with single-use packaging and are awarded the “Blue Angel” environmental label. The German Environment Agency also regards packaging made of recycled plastic that carries the “Blue Angel” label as a resource-conserving alternative.
