With a skilled and comprehensive team of creative minds and technical experts, the GreenChoice portfolio has been designed to help our customers make informed decisions that benefit the environment and make strides towards a green economy. Three Categories of GreenChoice by Wipak The comprehensive GreenChoice portfolio is based on 3 distinctive categories - Recyclable, Renewable, and Recycled material content – all with a focus on reducing the CO2 footprint and environmental impact of the packaging as much as possible. ” At Wipak, minimising the CO2 footprint of our packaging and conserving our finite resources is imprinted in our DNA. We want to avoid the release of additional carbon into the atmosphere. Materials such as paper and plastics made from renewable feedstock help us achieve independence from fossil resources, which have stored carbon over thousands of years,” says Katharina Machner, Product & Packaging Designer, Wipak N.E.X.T.
