Sustainability

Rani Plast’s customers increasingly demand the use of sustainable raw materials in packaging films.

Aleksi Hauhtonen, the 38-year-old CEO of Kannuksen Kauppapuutarha, lives an interesting and busy entrepreneurial life. Every year, the family business produces more than a million kilos of cucumbers and half a million lettuces in its 8,500 square metre greenhouse growing facilities.

We all know that manoeuvring a large ship takes time. Patience and professionalism are required from the captain and the crew navigating a large ship safely to port. At Rani Plast, we think in much the same way about the sustainable development of the plastics industry.

A new bale wrap film using raw material 30% of which is derived from re-cycled agricultural bale wrap will be launched by Rani Plast in early 2021.

Although plastic packaging accounts for close to 0.5% of Europe’s consumer CO2 footprint, Rani Plast is delivering its own sustainability strategy partly by providing carbon neutral products for advanced packaging solutions.

RaniCollationShrink EcoL is a high-performance beverage shrink film manufactured from 50% recycled raw material for use primarily in the beverage industry. Rani Plast is now developing a similar product comprising 70% recycled material.
