Our Commitment to
Excellence and Sustainability
Since the beginning, we have always pursued excellence in food packaging, developing solutions that protect, enhance and add value to the packaged product and ultimately improve the consumer experience. In addition to striving for excellence and reliability, we care about our region, we believe in innovation and collaboration, we make responsible choices and we are loyal to our partners, customers and suppliers.
Innovation and Sustainability at Our Core
NGP MUSTAD is synonymous with quality and state-of-the-art thermoformed plastic food packaging solutions characterized by high innovation and sustainability. At NGP MUSTAD we have an honest, meaningful, holistic approach to sustainability and packaging, the exact opposite of “greenwash”. By taking good care of food with the "MADE TO BE REMADE" packaging, NGP MUSTAD takes care of future generations. Our vision is to ensure a comprehensive transition to a circular economy for plastic packaging from the current linear form, which relies only on finite mineral resources.
Promoting the Circular Economy
To actively participate in shaping the future we desire, we must work for our present. We wish to be one of the few food packaging plastic industries, which will be able to ensure total control and a closed loop in PET recycling, including all the different stages of production: from post-consumer material selection, to washing, grinding, extrusion, and thermoforming required for the production of new food packaging from R-PET. Our vertical integration allows full traceability of materials and as our technology is EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) approved for R-PET food production, we can increase the recycling content of our packaging up to 100%. This is why we can safely say that we constitute a successful example of a circular economy and we are at the forefront of promoting the culture of recycling in plastic food packaging. NGP MUSTAD takes a leading and active role in promoting a circular economy for thermoformed plastic food packaging.
Advancing Recycling
Historically, our main source of recycled material (R-PET) was bottle fragments, but in recent years the demand - and therefore the cost - of this material has increased dramatically. Since more and more producers have started using R-PET, there is a reduction in the supply that will continue in the near future. Based on these issues, always true to the “design for recycling” and “design for environment” principles, we established the "Tray-to-Tray" (T2T) project, aimed at diversifying our sources of recycled material and at the same time “closing the circle”: by using not only post-consumer bottle fragments but also post-consumer tray fragments.
Pioneering Sustainable Solutions
Through continuous investments in product, process and research and development, NGP MUSTAD will be confirmed as a European example of just how to put the principles of the circular economy, environmental design, and the regulatory demand for a growing use of recycled plastic so as to minimize the use of virgin raw materials, properly into practice. We will achieve this goal with the help and support of the entire value and supply chain and thanks to the commitment of the entire MUSTAD UNITED Group.
