At Rudholm Group, we are committed to minimising our environmental impact and enhancing sustainability throughout our global operations. Our partner, Change Plastic for Good® provides Rudholm Group’s global flexible packaging facilities with the BDP® ingredient that allows the end-product to biodegrade* at a much faster rate once hitting a landfill in an anaerobic environment (*tested based on the ASTM D5511 biodegradability test), a significant step towards more sustainable packaging.
Why Choose Rudholm Group’s flexible packaging products with BDP®?
- Significant Environmental Impact Reduction: BDP® allows natural decomposition of plastic through organic ingredients, mitigating pollution and conserving natural resources. BDP® treated plastics have demonstrated accelerated biodegradation through microbial action, as tested via ASTM D5511, ASTM D5988, and ASTM D6691.
- Reduced Carbon Footprint: The production and the end of life of BDP® bags generate fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to standard plastic or paper bags, contributing to a reduction in overall carbon footprint.
- Durability and Versatility: Despite their accelerated biodegradation, recycled LDPE poly bags with BDP® maintain the durability and versatility our customers expect, ensuring product protection and integrity throughout the supply chain.
- Commitment to Circular Economy: Using BDP® supports the reuse and recycling of materials, minimising waste and promoting the sustainable use of resources.
- Alignment with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): Adopting recycled LDPE poly bags & mailers made with BDP® supports UN SDGs for responsible consumption and production (SDG 12) and climate action (SDG 13).
Rudholm Group continually explores innovative technologies and materials that align with our sustainability goals. We invite our partners and customers to join us in our journey towards a more sustainable world.
