Biofriendly packaging We incorporate principles of a circular economy in the production of our packaging.
Global Sustainable Packaging Strategy
Collaborative development Sigma’s central research department, in collaboration with our Organizational Units around the world, worked as a team to reflect in the strategy a comprehensive vision of the future of our packaging. In this process, we leveraged the success stories of our Organizational Units as well as more than a decade of internal research and use of state-of-the-art technologies in meeting packaging needs in every country where we operate.
In 2020 we took an important step towards reaching our goal to ensure the high quality of our products while at the same time using environmentally friendly packaging. With the launch of our Global Sustainable Packaging Strategy, we now have a comprehensive working platform to expand the use of biofriendly packaging across our operations. Through the strategy’s lines of action, we incorporate circular economy principles in the design stage and during the selection of materials used in the production of packaging solutions. In 2020 alone we avoided using more than 540 tons of virgin plastic, for a total of 5,300 tons avoided since 2019.
