WHAT IS RECYCLED PAPER PACKAGING?
Recycled paper packaging is made from recovered paper fibre that has already been used and collected, then processed into new packaging formats. It delivers a natural look while supporting a circular materials system.
At Viro Solutions, our recycled paper packaging includes takeaway bags made from 100% recycled paper. Additionally, we offer kraft greaseproof flat bags for baked goods and takeaway items.
RECYCLED PAPER PACKAGING RECYCLABILITY
Recycled Paper is a PAP 22 packaging material. It's highly recyclable and inherently circular. Hence, it's already integrated into the recycling process. Still, the material itself can be recycled if it is clean, dry, and free of food contamination. As a rule, keep recycled paper packaging clean for recycling. Items that are heavily greasy or contaminated are less likely to be accepted by paper recyclers.
RECYCLED PAPER PACKAGING ECO-FRIENDLINESS
However, from an eco-friendliness perspective, PLA is industrially compostable and bio-based. This means that, recycled correctly, it can be converted back into organic compost. The climate impact is also lower than that of fossil-based polymer packaging.
Where industrial composting collection is available, PLA lids and cutlery make the most sense as part of that closed-loop composting setup.
OUR COMMITMENT TO LOOP CERTIFIED PRODUCTS
At Viro, we have created product standards and certifications to mandate local production, circular design for recyclability, and minimum levels of post-consumer recycled content. Our Loop Certified initiative underscores our dedication to sustainability and circularity in packaging solutions.
