BUERGO.FOL wins Sustainability Award 2015:
RUNNER UP, BEST PACKAGING SOLUTION
This new packaging prize rewards the newest and most innovative products from the packaging industry that are also especially environmentally friendly. In the category „Best Packaging Solution“, the sustainable packaging solutions from BUERGO.FOL have now received an international award. Packaging Europe acknowledged the environmentally friendly and innovative packaging systems from BUERGO.FOL on the basis of foamed APET („BUERGO.PET expanded“) in its reasons as follows:
„With concerns about the sustainability of feedstocks required for bioplastics, BUERGO.FOL, the German manufacturer of flexible and rigid films for the food industry, has taken an alternative approach to the goal of sustainability: by developing a new generation of APET films.“
