Cardboard is a material that leaves a heavy carbon footprint on the planet.
For this reason, with the objective of providing a sustainable alternative, we have developed a box made of recycled plastic called Cartonplast, a solution developed jointly between Litoplas, Polyrec, Pepsico and Grupo EXCALA.
One of the advantages of this box is that its usage cycle is 25 times longer than a conventional box, which can be reused 3, or at most 6 times.
Additionally, once they are damaged, Cartonplast boxes can be recycled and reintroduced in the circular economy chain, reducing their environmental impact and optimizing costs.
These boxes have QR codes that help us measure their traceability and circularity.
Before the development of Cartonplast, Pepsico used close to 2.5 million boxes per month for automated packaging.
Today, thanks to the circular model of Cartonplast, Pepsico has been able to reduce its consumption to 0.5 million boxes per month.
Solutions such as these lead us to believe that a greener world is possible when we join efforts in favor of sustainability.
