It has long been said that nothing lasts forever. However, in the case of Trivium Packaging, they may well prove an exception to the rule, as they utilise a particular material in their production process.
According to the United Nations, up to twelve million tonnes of plastics are being swept into our oceans annually. It would not require a seismic leap of logic to conclude that a significant proportion of the plastic would come courtesy of plastic packaging.
Certain types of plastic and plastic packaging can be recycled, but it is a material that will degrade in quality the more it is recycled and reused. When that is coupled with single use plastics, you begin to appreciate the scale of the problem posed by the continued use of plastic as a packaging option.
It is an issue that Trivium Packaging are tackling head on, believing they have found a solution to the problem. The company wishes to become the leader in metal packaging, a material that, in many of its different forms, can be recycled indefinitely.
The ability to inspire widespread change is rarely achieved in isolation, so they are looking to share their vision with their customers and the communities they operate in. If successful, it could help shape the future of packaging.
The opportunity to create a circular economy in the packaging industry is made possible by a strong metal recycling infrastructure in most countries, something that will go a long way to creating a sustainable sector.
A Global Buying Green Report in 2022 by Trivium Packaging determined that 77% of those surveyed would pay more for products in sustainable packaging. It is a statistic that further emboldens the approach of the company, with their research and development teams in Europe and the Americas ready to best determine how the company can meet their environmental aims, as well as provide a product that the consumer will be happy with. It has the potential to add momentum to the material transition, with innovation sessions with existing and prospective customers creating an environment where innovative metal packaging solutions are proposed to drive brand growth.
A material transition within the industry would also provide financial relief for businesses currently in the midst of an energy crisis. Metal is an energy intensive material in the initial stages of production, but as it is used more and more and recycled, the energy needed for the process is just 5% of the initial need. This would eventually result in a significantly reduced energy output, once enough of the material is being recycled within the industry.
The company is also aiming to make lighter and stronger products, ensuring less material will be used, adding another sustainable aspect to their operations.
It is a vision that will require full buy-in from every stakeholder in the supply chain. The decision of Trivium to diversify its offering across food, paints and health and beauty packaging, makes the company more resistant to a volatile global landscape, as they seek to drive change on a number of fronts.
