Closing the recycling loop: Sustainable cardboard-plastic packaging produced for Henkel by Greiner Packaging now contains 50 % PCR PP

News / By

Cardboard-plastic combinations as sustainable packaging choice are helping to reduce plastic consumption, while at the same time ensuring high-quality appearance and stability. Henkel’s Persil 4in1 DISCS detergent packaging, which is produced by Greiner Packaging, is a top example.
