Materials & Environment

There are many different packages to choose from in our range that can be used for many industries like food, construction, chemicals, animal care & garden 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 help you select the optimal material for every application and identify the plastic best suited to 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.

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 known 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 Overview 2024

We have developed a sustainability overview that 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 this overview, you can explore our key priority areas within climate and environment, social responsibility, and corporate governance. We present both qualitative and quantitative insights that we have analyzed and will continue to monitor and measure in future sustainability overviews.

It should be easy to do the right thing!

Design smart

For a package to be recyclable, its design and composition are crucial. It should consist of a single material or be easily separable during the recycling process.

The right info for recycling

Make it easy to do the right thing by clearly showing how the packaging should be sorted. It is important that it enters the recycling stream correctly.

Recycle every package

If packaging is collected correctly, we can recycle and make granules from it that are then turned into new packaging, so 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 crucial. We have gathered information about the plastic cycle.

Plastic vs. Glass

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