S howcasing that actions speak louder than words , Schur Flexibles Group has proven how much of a priority sustainability is for the firm . Having backed up claims that sustainability is at the forefront of decision-making following its recognition as the winner of FlexiClose ’ s 2018 German Packaging Award in Sustainability , Schur Flexibles has established the 5R approach to a greener future : Recycling , Replace , Reduction , Renewal and Responsibility .
To help achieve this goal , Martin Berlekamp , Head of Sustainability at Schur Flexibles Group , believes his company ’ s determination to transform the handling of plastics has been key . “ We see our current sustainability transformation as a challenge because society is keen to change the treatment of plastics ,” says Berlekamp . “ As packaging takes up a high percentage of plastics being produced , we have to find a responsible way to handle sustainability along the value chain . As Schur Flexibles is well prepared with its current and new product portfolio , we can help our customers fulfil their sustainability goals which are often much more demanding than the ones requested by the legislation .”
