Interseroh+ Workshop in Berlin

INSIGHTS INTO THE SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING INDUSTRY

Recently, we at groku Kunststoffe GmbH accepted the invitation of interseroh+ to participate in the workshop on sustainable packaging in Berlin. As a long-standing partner of the recycling and system service provider interseroh+, we have been consistently expanding our sustainability goals together for a long time.

Christian Henrichsmeier (groku, Head of Technology) is impressed by the visit to the LVP sorting plant.

The use of the sustainability seal "Made for Recycling" by interseroh+ underlines our cooperation and we were looking forward to the exchange on site.


Christian Henrichsmeier, sustainability expert and head of technology at groku participated on behalf of groku. The workshop offered a valuable insight into new market trends and legal framework conditions in the Packaging Act and the minimum standard of the central body Packaging Register. This information is of great importance to ensure that we design our activities in accordance with the legal regulations and make our contribution to the circular economy.


The visit to the modern ALBA LVP sorting plant was particularly impressive. There, it was an impressive experience of what happens to our packaging once it has served its primary purpose and how proper design for recycling can help a bucket become a bucket again.


"When you stand at the sorting belt and see the variety of packaging passing you by, you realise how strongly our consumer behaviour is linked to this flood of materials. The constant influx of trucks in the yard of the sorting plant made us realise that there is no standing still and that we have to continuously work on developing effective recycling solutions," Henrichsmeier said.


Another focus of the workshop was on evaluating the recyclability of our packaging and identifying optimisation potential. The focus was always on the elementary functions of the packaging. "We are proud that we are already very well positioned and are consistently pursuing our sustainability goals," concluded Henrichsmeier.

Overall, the interseroh+ workshop was an extremely enriching experience for us. We will continue to intensify our efforts to drive sustainable packaging solutions and actively contribute to the creation of a circular economy.
