Circular Economy of Packaging

Packaging is essential for ensuring the safe delivery of products to consumers, protecting and preserving their quality and reducing food waste. However, its extensive use and inadequate end-of-life management have led to significant environmental challenges. 

That’s why Danone is firmly committed since many years to structured action plans aimed at reducing the use of plastic packaging, improving the circularity of plastics that cannot be eliminated to date, and recovering what is not kept in circulation. In 2017 we joined the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s (EMF) New Plastics Economy initiative, signing the Global Commitment on Plastics to help tackle plastic pollution on a worldwide scale. 

Our commitments to drive the transition to a circular and low-carbon packaging system are outlined in our new sustainability strategy, the Danone Impact Journey.
