Cold brew coffee packaging uses recycled polypropylene, the Swiss company has done so since September

Switzerland's largest dairy company Emmi has announced that its cold brew coffee drink CAFFÈ LATTE has incorporated chemically recycled recycled polypropylene into its packaging
.

The packs are produced by Greiner Packaging and chemically recycled recycled polypropylene material from Borealis
.
From September 2021, CAFFÈ LATTE will use at least 100 tons of recycled plastic every year
.
Recycled polypropylene treated with a chemical recycling process has a purity comparable to that of virgin petroleum-based polypropylene and can be used for applications with stringent requirements for protection and food safety
.

In this way, Emmi is using its hard-to-recycle chemical feedstocks to reduce waste plastics from landfilling and incineration
.
In the future, Emmi will gradually increase the content of recycled plastic in its packaging
.
The chemically recycled materials used in the CAFFÈ LATTE packaging cups this time consist only of ISCC (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification) materials and are retrospectively analyzed using the mass balance method
.
The mass balance approach tracks the quantity and sustainability characteristics of circular and/or bio-based content in the value chain and at each step of the process, providing consumers with transparent information that they are using recycled materials
.
According to reports, Emmi plans to achieve 100% recyclable packaging for all its products by 2027, and contain at least 30% recyclable materials
