A strong commitment 

Partnering with its customers to meet consumer demand for convenient, safe, and flexible packaging shows the focus on environmental sustainability. In fact, their pet food packaging can be made with bio-based films as well as renewable polymers. 

The company also helps pet food brands with downgauging. This involves making materials lighter by reducing thickness, while maintaining structural integrity. Using flexible plastic packaging as opposed to rigid options often reduces packaging size, allowing higher volumes to be transported and stored with less production of greenhouse gases. 

Moreover, the focus is on recyclability, waste collection and recovery systems. For certain applications, mono-material solutions are offered, which avoid non-plastic substances such as aluminium.

Protection and preservation

Mondi cares about protecting and preserving the things that matter, from pet food products to the planet. The company continuously works to reduce energy consumption per unit output and increase renewable energy use. 

Each Consumer Packaging plant has a specific waste-reduction target. For example, in Békéscsaba, Hungary, the factory recovers waste heat from a cooling line to heat its printing room and uses compressor waste heat to provide hot shower water. The facility also has an efficient thermal-oil system, and uses gas boilers only for back-up power.
