Materials & Environment

There are many different packages to choose from in our range and are aimed at a broad target group in food, paint and construction, chemicals, agriculture and cosmetics. Each package has its function, design and purpose.

The different materials

In order for plastic packaging to be optimally adapted to a specific product, different types of plastic are used as each material has its own properties and advantages. If a certain function is required, one type of plastic may be more suitable than another. A sauce bottle may need to be soft and squeezable, while a plastic bottle for drinks should be stable and durable.

We will help you choose the right material for the right purpose and what type of plastic is best suited for your products. Here you can read more about what distinguishes the most common materials.

Recycled material

For a circular economy, recycled packaging is essential. If you want to know more about the different types of materials and what packaging they are used for, you can read more about it here.

Polypropylene (PP/rPP)

PP is a durable material and can withstand most products. It can be customized with freezing materials and other special features. There are two recycled variants: PIR and PCR.

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET/rPET)

PET is a naturally transparent plastic which can be an advantage. It is a food-grade material with good properties for durability due to its permeability.

Polyethylene (PE/rPE)

PE (also available as LDPE/HDPE) is a material that is resistant to both food and chemical products. The material can withstand a variety of stressful temperatures.

Sustainability Report 2024

We have produced a sustainability report that covers all parts of our work with sustainability and aims to give both us and our stakeholders a clear, transparent and easily accessible picture of how we at Tara Pac work with sustainable development.

In the story, you get to follow our journey and take part in our most prioritized focus areas linked to climate and environment, social issues and corporate governance. Here we highlight both qualitative and quantitative aspects that we have investigated, and which we will also follow up and measure in future years' sustainability reports.

It should be easy to do the right thing!

Design smart

For a package to be recyclable, the design and layout are very important. It should consist of only one material or be easily shareable when it is to be recycled.

The right info for recycling

Please inform the packaging how it is to be collected so that it is easy to do the right thing! However, the important thing is that the packaging is collected again.

Recycle every pack

If packaging is collected correctly, we can recycle and make granules from it that are then turned into new packaging, and we save resources as much as we can.

Recycled material

In order for us to be able to save on our raw materials, the use of recycled materials is incredibly important. We have gathered information about the plastic cycle.

Plastic vs. Glass

If you use plastic packaging, you reduce both the weight of the delivery and thus also the emissions. The risk of glass breakage in production, handling and in the store is also reduced.
