Sustainability pervades everything.
There is a widespread demand fora more sustainable world
There is ever increasing concern about conservation and the environment; especially against single-use plastics
such as bags, bottles, food containers, cutlery, trays, etc.
The problem exists and, as a society, we must be aware of it.
PLASTIC PERSECUTION
We need help in order to make possible a business
model based in plastic recycling ensuring an
efficient waste collection, classification and
recycling processes in order to achieve a circular
economy.
The answer is NO. But we all need to educate consumers for an intelligent disposal of the plastic.
Materials are not “good” or “bad”… materials are used in the “correct” or “incorrect” way.
IS PLASTIC THE CULPRIT?
Lack of infrastructure for selection and recycling in many countries around the world
WHICH IS THE EXISTING PROBLEM?
Many countries are not ready yet (Australia for example)
There is not a unified criteria in how to classify waste.
Sometimes even between different municipalities
HOW ARE THE SUPERMARKETS REACTING?
As a result of a lack of infraestructures and a not unified criteria, there is a lot of confusion, and we
are receiving different demands from supermarkets.
EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
▪ Small packages
▪ No plastic packages
▪ BIO ranges
ANGLO-SAXON COUNTRIES
▪ No paper solutions (Higher CO2 )
▪ No compostable solutions ( + contamination/ + price/ + CO2)
▪ Focus on lightweight and 100% recyclable packages
HOW DOES GIRÓ SOLVE THESE DEMANDS WHILE MAINTAINING THE QUALITY OF THE PRODUCT?
Is the brand through which Giró expresses its compromise
with the environment and sustainable development.
As market leader in packaging solutions, Giró must
provide solutions in order to satisfy all the market needs.
Because of that, Giró has a 100%
Compostable packaging program
But…
Giró’s recommendation is
to produce:
1. LIGHTWEIGHT
2. RECYCLABLE PACKAGES
3. IMPLIES LOWER CO2

packages is the right direction.
