- Greiner Packaging extends its partnership with the social enterprise Plastic Bank dating back to 2019
- Over 610 tons of plastic waste have already been collected and made available for recycling as part of the partnership
- Plastic Bank and its partners (such as Greiner Packaging) are demonstrating both environmental and social responsibility through their commitment
Kremsmünster, April 2024. Greiner Packaging, a leading company in the packaging industry, is pleased to announce that it has extended its long-standing partnership with Plastic Bank for a third time. The extension of this partnership underscores Greiner Packaging’s ongoing commitment to protecting the environment and promoting a sustainable future.
Turning plastic waste into a valuable asset
Plastic Bank is empowering the world to end plastic pollution by building ethical recycling ecosystems in coastal communities and reprocessing the materials collected for reintroduction into the global manufacturing supply chain. Plastic Bank collectors receive a bonus for the plastic they collect, allowing them to earn a higher income. The recycled material is referred to as Social Plastic® feedstock as it offers both environmental and social benefits.
“We are all in agreement: someone has to do something about plastic in the ocean. Plastic Bank and its partners, such as Greiner Packaging, are part of the solution,” says David Katz, who founded Plastic Bank in 2013.
Beatrix Praeceptor, CEO of Greiner Packaging, is thrilled about the renewed partnership: “We’re extremely happy to extend our collaboration with Plastic Bank for the third time. This ongoing partnership reflects our strong commitment to a sustainable future.”
Taking responsibility as an entrepreneurial duty
Sustainable action has always been of paramount importance to Greiner Packaging, a manufacturer of rigid plastic packaging and cardboard-plastic combinations. Under the motto “Join the Circular Revolution!”, the company is calling on its partners along the value chain to commit all their innovative strength to sustainable product solutions. After all, the goal of a sustainable circular economy can only be achieved together.
