…Ja mida me teeme nende paremaks muutmiseks
Oleme taimepõhise-tehnoloogia pioneerid. Alpro sündis taimepõhiselt juba 1980. aastal ja sellest ajast peale oleme seda suurt taimset trummi tagunud. Meie missioon oli toona sama, mis praegu: tuua tervist läbi toidu võimalikult paljude inimesteni.
TEISISÕNU:
Suhtume oma pakenditesse väga kirglikult. Me ei ole küll seal, kus tahaksime olla. Esialgu. Kuid oleme kindlad, et anname kõik endast oleneva, et sinna jõuda.
Hea algusest
peale
Tead seda kõnekäändu, et loeb see, mis on sinu sees? Meie usume sellesse täielikult. Meie pakenditest leiad vaid parimaid taimseid koostisosi. Kuid vaatame ka seda, mis toimub väljaspool. Meie pakendamine töötab suurepäraselt. Aga sellest ju ei piisa, eksole? Me tahame teada, kust see tuleb ja kuhu see läheb, siis kui töö on tehtud.
Ütle 'tere' kõikidele meie armsatele pakenditele
Meil on hea meel, et meie joogipakendid on enamasti (70%) valmistatud taastuvast paberist. Meie lemmik mõtteviis – mida rohkem kasutame, seda vähem kulub plastikut! See on kaetud õhukeste PE-plasti (polüetüleen) kihtidega – maailma enimkasutatud plastiga. Hea uudis - see on taaskasutatav, juhul kui kohalik infrastruktuur seda võimaldab.
Meie joogipakenditel on alumiiniumikiht, mis on maksimaalselt õhuke. Hea on see, et tagab värskuse, halb aga, et on raskesti taaskasutatav, seega veel üks ülesanne meie tegemiste nimekirjas.
Alumiinium muudab pakendid vedelikukindlaks, mis võimaldab neid transportida ja hoida jahutatuna. Kõik see säästab energiat ja lisaks vähendab võimsalt meie CO2 skoori.
Hetkel on see kõige säästvam saadaolevate materjalide kombinatsioon, mis tagab ühtlasi, et meie joogid jõuavad sinuni sama värskena kui nende pakendamise päeval. Kuid me otsime alati võimalusi paremaks muutumiseks.
Täna on sellel lahendusel väga madal süsinikdioksiidi mõju.

ALPRO - Betterpacks FAQ
Good question. We had to look it up, too. rPET is simply PET plastic (polyethylene terephthalate to give it its full name) that’s already been recycled at least once. Just one of the reasons we’ve chosen it for our snazzy new drinks bottles. Next, it’s easy to turn into any shape you like. And here’s the third reason why we like it – it’s just as easy to turn it straight into new bottles or any other food packaging when it’s done its job, and there aren’t many plastics you can do that with.
We know it must seem a little strange when everyone’s talking about cutting down on plastic. But here’s the thing. The plastic we’ve chosen is already recycled rPET. And once it’s done its our job keeping our drinks fresh, it can be recycled again and again. And the deal maker for us? PET’s the only plastic that can be turned straight back into food packaging. Just think! That one little nugget of plastic that made your bottle could simply keep on going as a bottle. Never on land fill, never in the ocean. It keeps our designers happy, too, because it can be turned into any shape our they come up with. So not just useful, a pretty face as well!
The short answer is, yes, 100% recyclable depending on where you live. The long answer? The main body of the bottle is 100% recyclable. The HDPE cap is recyclable, too – all you have to do is rescrew it back onto the bottle before you pop it in the recycling bin. Which just leaves that smart outer sleeve. Because it’s coloured, you’ll need to peel it off before you recycle the bottle. It’s recyclable in some countries, but unlike transparent uncoloured PET might be used to make a fleece rather than a new food pack.
Trust us, whenever we create something new or redesign the pack for one of your favourites, we look very hard at what we use materials wise. Cartons have their good points and they’re perfect for some products, but for our premium and plant-based alternative to yogurt drinks, plastic bottles won out. Lightweight, resealable and 100% recyclable. And at 50% of the PET in the bottle will be already recycled before we get our hands on it and we’re working on making that 100% for every single bottle.
Number one, naturally we’d only pick something safe, tried and tested for food. Number two, it has to be 100% recyclable just about anywhere or we couldn’t hold our heads up. PET’s both of those, perfect for keeping our drinks fresh and the only plastic that can be turned straight back into brand new food packaging. We love the thought of our plastic going straight from bottle to bottle! And we like rPET is even more because it’s already been recycled at least once before we get our hands on it. Lighter on materials, lighter on the planet.
