IML & Sustainability

Sustainable development is of great importance for Verstraete IML, we continuously strive to minimize our impact on the environment. Our core business, in mould labelling, contributes to environment protection: the packaging and the label are made of the same material. This forms a mono packaging that can be fully recycled and enables us to ensure that the raw materials have the longest possible service life.

Verstraete IML has not been idle since the signature of the New Plastics Economy’s Global Commitment . With ‘The Road to 2025’, the IML specialist translates the Global Commitment into its own personal efforts. This initiative should prepare Verstraete IML for the circular economy. Managing Director Koen Verstraete and Product & Circular Economy Manager Nico Van de Walle explain the process.

Verstraete IML prioritizes sustainability. This means that efficient waste management and circular solutions are an essential part of the production process. A recent innovation introduced by the company is the production of plastic pallets from the company’s own polypropylene IML waste.
