Window manufacturer VELUX Group is converting 90% of its sloped-roof window [skylight] packaging to a plastic-free, paper-based single material in all its most popular SKUs. This will save up to 900 tonnes [992 tons] of plastic per year, the company says, and the new format will consist of Forest Stewardship Council- (FSC-) certified corrugated. This transformation has led to a 13% reduction of the carbon footprint for the sloped roof product range and is key to delivering on the company's overall sustainability strategy target to make its packaging single material, zero plastic, and 100% recyclable by 2030. It also marks the first step in an extensive sustainable transformation of how the VELUX Group does business and what products and solutions it brings to market. Packaging World spoke with SVP Tina Mayn about the project.
