Aykut Güleryüz, Production Manager at Metpack, is pleased that they can now offer even greater solutions to their customers: "Proving the recyclability of PLA in coated paperboard applications is a fantastic way to keep valuable resources in use for future product lifecycles, and we are very pleased to present this solution to our customers". Thomas Philipon, CEO at Total Corbion PLA recognizes the achievement: "Packaging in general is under quite some pressure from both consumers and governments around the world to be more sustainably managed. The ability to recycle PLA-coated paperboard empowers brand owners, retailers, hospitality outlets and waste management companies to work with a biobased packaging solution that can be either composted or recycled depending on what is most environmentally efficient for that specific application. We are extremely proud to be contributing even further towards driving the circular economy forward".
