Entrant/Converter
Mpact Plastics FMCG Pinetown

The packaging for this range supports the recycling of HDPE, reducing dependence on virgin material while creating a demand for recycled plastics where infrastructure exists. It thus stimulates investment in the collection and recycling industry and reduces the leakage of products into the environment.

Gold Award

Judges’ special mention: Sustainability

Name of Entry
100% rHDPE 750ml and 1.5-Litre Household Cleaner Bottle

Entrant/Converter
Mpact Plastics FMCG Pinetown

Brand Owner
Unilever

This household cleaner bottle contributes to sustainable solutions and complies with design for recycling principles such as the use of minimal components, water-soluble adhesive to apply the labels, a wider neck to reduce product residue, and material identification symbols.

Processing rHDPE requires conversion, technology and innovation expertise due to colour variation and odour, both potential flaws that are not accepted by brands. Darker colours are more suited to this grey-coloured raw material. The customer overcame the colour challenge through colour choices that align with the brand’s identity. Quality procedures were also intensified to monitor and correct colour variation throughout the conversion process.
