Recycled materials are actually recycled materials that have been processed and reused in new products. Generally recyclable materials include plastic bottles, waste fishing nets, waste clothes, scrap steel, waste paper, etc. Therefore, in the actions to implement the concept of green environmental protection Derived a series of certifications for recycled materials
Like GRS, RCS, OBP, FSC, GOTS, SCS, etc. Foreign buyers will also require their suppliers to carry out relevant certifications. Although they are all environmental certifications, the requirements still have different emphasis. For example, the recycling ratio of GRS is 20% and above, RCS is 5% and above, and OBP has no limit. yes
It is divided into three types, river OBP, potential OBP, coastline OBP; GOTS requires organic content to reach 70% and above, FSC is forest certification, mainly for wood products, SCS is Kingfisher certification, which is divided into pre-consumer and post-consumer, but one thing they have in common is that
It belongs to the chain of custody of production and sales, and this certification is required from its source to the final buyer of the finished product.
In order to improve the reuse rate of resources, it has become a global sustainable trend for major brands to use green packaging materials. Last year, the Coca-Cola Company’s brand “bonaqua” entered the bottled water market with the industry’s first unlabeled alkaline water sold in single bottles.
This year, the bottle body has been completely changed to 100% high-quality food-grade recycled ester pellets (rPET), implementing a “bottle-to-bottle” cycle.
Continuing the brand proposition of “less choices, more complexity, more transparency and beauty”, “bonaqua” has become the first bottled water brand in Taiwan to use rPET environmentally friendly recycled plastic (rPET, Recycled PET recycled polyester pellets).
In addition to the original two capacities of 588 ml and 888 ml, the newly launched 1,500 ml package of “bonaqua” label-free alkaline water will also use food-grade recycled ester pellets (rPET).
rPET material is made of recycled food-grade plastic that meets specifications. Compared with virgin PET bottles, rPET can reduce 63%1 of carbon emissions during the production process, and each bonaqua bottle is recycled from 1 to 1.5 bottles Made from recycled plastic bottles,
Its label-free design can significantly reduce the complicated process of separating discarded bottles and cans from labels during recycling, which not only maximizes resource recycling, but is also more environmentally friendly.
Mr. Chen Zhengfeng, General Manager of Coca-Cola Taiwan Branch, said: “The Coca-Cola Company launched the vision of ‘World Without Waste’ in 2018. In addition to assisting in the recycling of bottles and cans in various places, we also hope that by 2030,
Its product packaging contains an average of 50% recycled materials. We advocate and encourage consumers to bring their own water bottles when going out, but it is always inconvenient when going out. The launch of ‘bonaqua’ unlabeled alkaline water hopes to provide consumers with a relatively environmentally friendly choice when they need to buy bottled water. . ”
