German packaging firm Alesco has set up a new subsidiary to focus on environment-friendly packaging: Alesco Green Packaging.
Philipp Depiereux will move across from Alesco to become md of the subsidiary.
He said: “At Alesco Green Packaging we can concentrate on an issue that will help secure the environment for future generations: sustainability. In 2009, Alesco already laid the foundations for sustainable packaging film solutions with its development of even thinner films made of polyethylene, biofilms made of renewable raw materials and printing with water-based paints. We now wish to build on these developments.”
As well as new products, there will also be a focus on carbon-neutral offerings and environment-friendly production processes such as the firm’s bio-film bags made from corn starch, which are already being used for carrots and apples.
