Why Sustainable Packaging

Sustainable packaging is important because it reduces waste going to landfill, conserves resources by using less raw material, helps the environment by lowering GHG emissions and it meets current demand as the market becomes more environment conscious. PBL proposes different types of packaging, namely returnable packaging (glass, jars, fountains) and light weighed PET bottles (use of less plastic). PBL aspires to further enhance its sustainable packaging portfolio in the long term.

Goal
Increase % of packaging material which can be recycled or reused across primary, secondary & tertiary packaging
Ambition
Increase awareness about recyclability & Investigate feasibility of using recycled material in PET bottles & other alternatives

Investigation of tethered caps, Introduction of 25%-30% rPET content in PET bottles, additional light weighing of PET bottles

Increase awareness on recyclability of packaging materials through campaigns:

  1. Reseal to recycle
  2. Returnable Glass Bottle Campaign

Currently, around 60% of packaging material is recyclable (inclusive of 1°, 2° & 3° packaging)

Campaign: "I am Recyclable – Boutey Retourne, Boutey Resikle" - 2.97 tonnes of PET collected in 4 months and 5,198 people sensitized

  1. Sprite, Crystal Sparkling, Schweppes from green to transparent PET bottles
