Our commitment to environmental protection is strong and runs through all Packstyle’s activities but we know that what we did yesterday is no longer enough today. That’s why our contribution to sustainability grows day by day to try to achieve important goals, to overcome them and to reach new ones.
Flexible packaging is the kind of packaging that has a lower environmental impact throughout its life cycle (LCA). A recent study carried out by the German Institute of Energy and Environmental Research (IFEU) in Heidelberg found that the carbon footprint of flexible packaging is more than 60% lower than the hard alternatives.
Packstyle’s electricity is supplied by Forgreen group, an energy operator that offers energy from renewable sources, contributing to the development and adoption of sustainable behaviour in companies and individuals.
Packstyle expands its offering with two new materials designed for increasingly responsible packaging: Recyclable Film and Recyclable Paper.
The Recyclable Film, certified by the European organization Interzero, is made from a single material: polypropylene (PP). Thanks to its mono material composition, the pouch can be reused and fully recycled at the end of its life cycle. Despite the absence of adhesives, the Recyclable Film can be heat-sealed, ensuring excellent preservation of its contents.
In line with our commitment to transparency and environmental responsibility, Packstyle has conducted a comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of the Recyclable Film in collaboration with S.C.F. International. This analysis objectively and comparably evaluates the material’s environmental impact throughout its entire life cycle, from production to disposal. The results confirm its significant environmental advantages over traditional alternatives.
Moreover, Packstyle will soon provide the corresponding Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) — a certified document that makes the material’s environmental performance both accessible and comparable.
Packstyle products are certified Aticelca® 501 which guarantees that the packaging can be recycled entirely with paper.

Packstyle products and packaging use the FSC® certification which ensures that the paper comes from a forest managed in compliance with strict social and economic environmental standards.

Packstyle’s monomaterial flexible packaging features a functional barrier that prevents the permeation of external and internal agents, preserving the quality of the packaged products. This makes it ideal for food items, as well as raw materials in the nutraceutical and cosmetics sectors, helping to extend shelf life.
When combined with Packstyle’s convenient zip closure, which allows for easy resealing of unused contents, the functional barrier also helps minimize waste caused by improper storage.
With Packstyle you can print a minimum of 50 pouches to avoid waste and you also have the opportunity to quickly change the kind of packaging according to your needs. In addition, our graphic department is available to recommend solutions that use reduced quantities of ink without compromising on appearance.
