27 Feb 2024 --- Mondi is tackling the siliconized and coated paper waste produced at its release liner plants in Jülich, Germany, and Heerlen, the Netherlands, by collaborating with industry stakeholders along the value chain. Ninety-five percent of the production waste is now used as secondary raw material for other industries due to the packaging giant’s partnerships. “At Mondi, we view waste as a loss of resources and have committed to eliminating waste from our production processes through our MAP 2030 agenda. In this project, we aimed at using the production waste more effectively by valorizing it as secondary raw materials in other applications,” says Carlos Martinez Ezquerra, circular economy manager for Flexible Packaging at Mondi. “We are very proud of the 95% reduction we achieved at both locations and now look forward to working with CELAB, the leading industry initiative for the self-adhesive label value chain, and building relationships with other partners to further improve the circular flow of materials also in our other release liner locations across Europe.”
