Lightweight packaging manufacturer, Ecolean, has become the first packaging system supplier to review their entire system with the rigorous analysis of EPDs. Not only has the company published EPDs for their packaging, they have also done so for their filling machines.
The Swedish company founded in 1996, has always focused on using minimal raw materials to produce their unique flexible lightweight packaging and filling systems. The company markets its products as environmentally friendly due to reduced raw materials and transport and disposal benefits.
The publication of 4 EPDs through the International EPD® System backs up their environmental claims. A worthwhile investment for a company wanting to tout its environmental credentials.
