We are thrilled to share some exciting news that fills us with pride: Legoplast is among the winners of the CONAl Ecodesign Award 2024. This prestigious recognition rewards companies that have implemented innovative solutions for packaging sustainability, contributing to the reduction of environmental impact and promoting a more circular economy.
Our commitment to sustainable packaging design has materialized through three distinct projects, all united by the same vision of a greener future: Recyplast, EVA Green, and the bioplastic PE flap bag..
The award-winning solutions: innovation and sustainability
✔️ Recyplast: A bag made entirely of recycled polyethylene, replacing traditional polypropylene. This initiative has significantly improved the environmental impact, reducing the use of virgin raw materials and encouraging post-production and post-consumer recycling.
✔️ EVA Green: An innovative bag made from biobased material derived from sugarcane. The use of a renewable source material has helped reduce COz emissions without compromising the technical performance of the packaging.
✔️ Bioplastic PE flap bag:: A sustainable alternative to traditional PVC bags for sheet sets. This new packaging is made from biobased polyethylene (PE from sugarcane), reducing the overall material weight and ensuring the recyclability of the product at the end of life. The switch from PVC to Bioplastic PE has resulted in a 50% reduction in the bag's weight, further reducing the environmental impact.
These solutions not only improve the environmental footprint of our products but also demonstrate our continuous commitment to offering increasingly sustainable alternatives that align with market needs. The projects were evaluated using the CONAl Eco Tool, which allowed us to quantify the environmental improvement across various indicators, including:
✅ Reduction in Global Warming Potential (GWP), resulting in lower greenhouse gas emissions.
✅ Decrease in total energy consumption (GER), thanks to the use of recycled and biobased materials.
✅ Lower water resource usage (H2O), optimizing production processes.
Being awarded by CONAl is an important affirmation of the value of our choices and an encouragement to continue on the path of ecodesign and sustainability. Every day, we strive to innovate our products and processes, offering packaging solutions that respect the environment without compromising on quality and functionality. Every day, we work to enhance our products and processes, integrating advanced technologies and sustainable materials to create packaging that respects the environment without compromising performance. Sustainability is not just a goal it's a responsibility that guides every decision, from material selection to recyclability.
We are proud that the winners of the CONAl competition have been featured in top national publications, highlighting the growing importance of sustainable packaging. In addition, we are honored to receive the EcoPack 2024 certificate, which officially recognizes our success in reducing the environmental impact of our packaging.
We would like to thank CONAl for this opportunity and all our partners who support us in this journey of sustainable innovation. Together, let's continue building a greener future!
