The Closed Loop Buy-Back Programme

We can all agree that keeping materials in the loop is a good thing. It preserves resources and protects the environment. But transitioning from one approach to a new one, is not always easy.

The closed loop Buy-Back Programme is part of our journey to close the loop on food packaging. The Programme invites food service providers like caterers, retailers, and airlines to purchase rigid food packaging solutions from Faerch for their menus. After use, the packaging is collected and sent back to Cirrec. Using our specialised line-technology, we recycle your used packaging into food grade pellets and flakes – which is used by Faerch to produce new food safe packaging of the same quality.

Why circular recycling makes a difference

Circular recycling has many benefits. The carbon footprint of the application is much lower, as the need for virgin material is reduced – for some applications it is eliminated. At the same time, the customer saves money by selling the used food packaging back to us. 
Food safety comes first

As a food service provider safety means everything. To make sure that the recycled material that leaves our recycling facility meets the highest standards, we comply with the most stringent food safety regulations.
