Award Name: The Sustainable Supply Chain Award

Company: meurer Verpackungssysteme GmbH, Mondi Group, Zoegas

Zoegas addressed the urgent need for sustainable alternatives to single use plastics.

Their recent significant move is the elimination of plastic wrapping for coffee brick deliveries, replaced by an innovative paper Tray Wrap Solution developped by Mondi and packed by Meurer.

The solution has truly demonstrated its value by delivering environmental and cost benefits! In fact, replacing plastic with paper significantly reduces CO2 emissions, as confirmed by Mondi’s internal assessment, which shows an 80% lower climate change impact.

Paper-based waste also has a high recycling rate, fitting into the circular economy.

The paper Tray Wrap Solution aligns with the PPWR regulations, ensuring compliance for the future. Economically, the switch reduces energy consumption and overall packing costs, enabling Zoegas to reinvest in other business areas.

The paper Tray Wrap, made from high-tensile, responsibly sourced fibers, withstands transportation rigors and enhances operational efficiency.

The solution also improves the work environment by reducing noise and heat. In a successful collaboration between Meurer, Mondi and Zoegas, paper Tray Wrap became the solution to challenge performance and sustainability standards.

The paper Tray Wrap Solution exemplifies how businesses can lead in the fight against single-use plastics, setting a new standard and inspiring others to follow suit.
