VISION

“ The solution to packaging waste

can only be an alternative view 

of the life cycle of packaging “

HEKET CIRCULAR PACKAGING SOLUTION


Our Advanced Research in Regenerable Packaging Systems and Advanced Recycling on a GDO scale, draws on many past approaches, when still the road of recycling material in the form of waste was considered the only effective and viable solution toward reducing pollution, especially plastic packaging waste.


 Principal Materials from which Commercial Containers for Liquids can be produced. In the present case normally employed or alternatively employable for the production of Bottles.

FUTURE PACKAGING


Right from the start we understood that the prevalence of a Use - Throw - Recycle system could only amplify the problem, triggering at the very least a doubling of the supply of raw material on the market, in fact today punctually the data show that in the Nations where Recycling plants have become more widespread, this has resulted in an increase in the mass of Waste in circulation, instead of a reduction.

CLEAN RECYCLING


However, the recycling of the Material represents a fundamental phase also in a Regeneration/Reuse System, but they completely change the criteria, approach and philosophy, moving from a Recycling definable as "Dirty", to a "Clean" Recycling, much more efficient, economical and ecological.


Main Categories of Liquid or Viscous Products for Civil \ Domestic use in the GDO ( Large Distribution ) circuit.

COMPLETE RECOVERY


It should also undoubtedly be noted that it is limiting to think only of the problem of recovery of packaging materials, since there exists, especially with reference to liquid products, also the no less important problem of Content Residues, often substances that are particularly harmful to the environment and difficult to dispose of if under complicated conditions to manage.


Which of these 2 types of Bottle is more sustainable ?

HEKET INSIGHT


We can say that we were certainly among the first ever to devote ourselves to this kind of Study with total conviction and maximum commitment, on the premise of not giving up, analyzing and solving one by one all the not simple problems that arise toward achieving an Advanced Packaging Regeneration and Recycling System that is the best possible in all aspects.


 For the same volume, the smaller and more loosely packed the size of solid materials, the less controllable and solvable the environmental impact will be. On the basis of a wide range of statistical and scientific evaluations, through the expedient of the "Reference Cube" or "Sample Cube," the relationship of the medium-term (10-year) environmental impact between a quantity of a given material in the form of a cube with a side of 1 Meter, compared with the same impact of the same material in different forms, can be illustrated in broad terms.

HEKET R&D


In our R&D, Study and Design journey, we often realized that many of the most entrenched concepts about environmental sustainability and pollution from used packaging were either completely wrong or inadequately and incompletely codified.


The same Product is packaged in a large number of completely different packaging materials and formats. Why does this happen and what does it entail in terms of Sustainability?

HEKET ART IN INDUSTRY


A Collection, Regeneration and Reutilization System and/or Advanced Packaging Recycling is certainly something at a much higher and more elegant level than a mere and albeit complex process of Material Recycling starting from waste. It foresees an extremely articulated and meticulous Study, made of relationships and effects that are reflected along the entire supply chain and therefore must be deeply pondered, and harmonized with high competence, like a culinary recipe where with the same ingredients a sublime dish can be produced, or if you make a mistake even one detail you will have to redo everything.
