A better future by creating sustainable solutions to store food

Tupperware® is one of those converters and has been certified under ISCC since 2019. The company started by bringing a circular, reusable straw and an on-the-go coffee cup onto the market as part of its ECO+ product line, which includes food-safe products derived from sustainable material sources. Tupperware then expanded its use of new circular materials for other on-the-go products, like Oysters and Sandwich Keepers. The reusable products are not
only a sustainable alternative to single-use packaging but are also made of bio-circular and recycled materials.

The quantities of mixed plastic waste used for circular polymer production are currently in the hundreds of tons, but Tupperware expects volumes to grow. Josh Decktor, Global Head Environmental Social Governance and Sustainability at Tupperware®, says, “At Tupperware, we nurture a better future by creating sustainable solutions to store food so it can last longer, with less waste and ultimately reduce single-use plastic.

We value the ISCC certification as an indication of our dedication and our commitment to sustainable sources. We are proud to work with the organisation that sets the industry standard for sustainable material certification.«

Consumers also see the ISCC PLUS logo on products in shops all over the world.

Orkla, a leading Swedish brand owner for confectionary and snacks, is one of the latest companies to join the growing band of consumer brands displaying the logo. The company wants to help its consumers make climate-smart decisions and choose sustainable packaging.

Orkla started with the four best-selling snacks in 2020 and have expanded the initiative further to most snack packaging, and the work continues. “The third-party certification approach from ISCC has been crucial for us in launching a new bio attributed plastics snacks packaging as the first player in the snacks industry worldwide,” says Sara Malmström, Sustainability Manager at Orkla.

These companies received positive feedback from their customers when they started to reduce their use of fossil feedstocks. They see ISCC PLUS certification as essential to verifying the bio and recycled contents of their products. ISCC’s independent and rigorous approach assures customers that companies are dedicated to a circular and low carbon economy. They are
proud to display the ISCC PLUS logo on their products, websites and publicity material. It is becoming increasingly clear that ISCC PLUS certified companies are leading the way in using renewable and recycled raw materials. All of them contribute in different ways, as waste collectors, processors, converters and brand owners. This concerted effort in all segments shows it is feasible to use circular and renewable materials for products essential to modern life. Now we, the public, can play our part by purchasing products displaying the ISCC logo.
