Sustainable Packaging Solutions At Delga

Explore how Delga delivers sustainable packaging, offering innovative solutions that blend eco-friendliness with cutting-edge technology.

The Rising Demand for Eco-Friendly Packaging

In today's eco-conscious market, consumers are increasingly scrutinising the environmental impact of their purchases, including the packaging. This shift in consumer behaviour is evident in supermarkets, where brands are introducing sustainable packaging options, to meet this demand. As awareness grows, the need for companies to adopt eco-friendly solutions has never been more pressing.

Consumer preference, government regulations, and a genuine corporate commitment to environmental stewardship are fuelling the trend towards sustainable packaging. Companies are now challenged to rethink their packaging strategies to incorporate materials and designs that minimise waste and promote recyclability.

Innovative Materials and Technologies at Delga

Delga is at the forefront of sustainable packaging, harnessing innovative materials and technologies to offer greener alternatives. One of the latest offerings is labels made from 50% post-consumer recycled plastic, significantly reducing the reliance on virgin plastics. Moreover, Delga's accreditation of FSC-certified paper and card, ensures that products are available to clients from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social, and economic benefits.

By utilising carbon-neutral HP Indigo Presses and the digital embellishment service, Delga not only delivers aesthetically pleasing packaging but achieves an 80% reduction in water consumption, alongside a dramatic decrease in emissions and energy usage with these methods when compared to traditional print and finishing methods. 

The Benefits of Switching to Sustainable Packaging

The transition to sustainable packaging offers a multitude of benefits, extending beyond environmental advantages. For businesses, it can lead to cost savings over time due to the efficiency of materials and the potential to avoid taxes associated with plastic packaging. Moreover, companies that adopt green packaging can enhance their brand image, resonate with eco-conscious consumers, and stay ahead of regulatory curves.

From an ecological perspective, sustainable packaging contributes to the reduction of landfill waste, alleviates resource depletion, and can lead to a significant decrease in the carbon footprint of a product. With 83% of paper and card packaging being recycled in the EU, the impact of switching to such materials is profound and far-reaching.

Case Studies: Success Stories from Delga's Clients

Delga's dedication to sustainable packaging solutions has been instrumental in helping clients achieve their environmental goals. One notable success story involves a valued customer who aimed to improve the lifecycle of the packaging and reduce materials by at least 15%. Delga rose to the challenge and evolved the packaging of these products, presenting a solution that ensured vital brand and legal information was still displayed and the product was sufficiently protected but also offered a 61% saving of packaging material waste and a 66% weight reduction of the outer packaging. 

These collaborations not only demonstrate the practical applications of Delga's offerings but also serve as inspiration for other businesses looking to make a positive environmental impact through their packaging choices.
