Modiform is choosing recyclable packs

Disposed PET bottles and fridges

Modiform selects PET transparent green and PS cool grey as base materials for the packs, as both are highly recyclable. The transparent green packs are made from 100% recycled green PET from consumer waste. Additionally, our cool grey packs are produced using 100% recycled PS material from discarded fridges so no virgin material is used! Furthermore, the fact that these packs really are the most sustainable choice is confirmed by the Cyclos certificate awarded to them in certain countries!

Recommended choice of materials

Arie den Hertog (product manager at Modiform) says, 'We think it is irresponsible to make products when we know that they cannot be recycled. All the black plastic that ends up with consumers is not recyclable and therefore cannot be reused. We have performed extensive research into the recyclability of plastics from consumer waste in European countries. After all, this can differ between countries. This means that we can offer good advice to our customers with regard to choices for materials and adapt our product range accordingly on the basis of local regulations and laws. In this way, we make sustainable choices the default for everyone. We are also happy to share our knowledge; the infographic with the results of the research is free to download to all on our website'.

Only sustainable pots

Last year, Modiform underwent a similar transition with regard to pots. At the time, the company changed its product range for pots into sustainable pots. The Recycled & recyclable pots (R&R) from 100% recycled polypropylene (PP) and fully recyclable. By offering recyclable pots and packs, Modiform is making sustainable products the logical choice for growers.

Modiform offers a wide range of packs for various applications: bedding packs, carry packs, and retail packs. If you're looking for more information, Please visit www.modiform.com/en/products/draagtrays or contact sales@modiform.nl.
