In the past, a \u2018coffee to go\u2019 was a phenomenon mostly associated with America. The trend has crossed the globe, accelerated by the recent pandemic, which has prompted increased outdoor socializing and dining. But it\u2019s not only hot drinks; different types of cold drinks \u2013 including iced coffee – are also on the menu. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Committed to the future <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Emmi is Switzerland\u2019s largest milk processor. As part of its commitment to climate protection and the circular economy, the company has declared that it wants to make all its packaging 100% recyclable by 2027. It is also committed to various measures to promote circularity, such as packaging that contains at least 30% recyclate. Its successful Emmi CAFF\u00c8 LATTE brand is leading the way by incorporating chemically recycled polypropylene into its iced coffee drinking cup.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The potential of chemical recycling <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The strong development-focused partnership between Emmi, Greiner Packaging and Borealis, has resulted in Emmi CAFF\u00c8 LATTE using at least 100 tonnes of plastic based on chemically recycled polypropylene each year. Greiner Packaging produces the cups from Borealis\u2019 Borcycle\u2122 C \u2013 recycled material with a level of purity fit for protective, food-safe and other demanding applications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chemical recycling enables chemical raw materials to be recovered from plastics waste that is otherwise difficult to recycle mechanically. These materials have the same properties as plastics from traditional production (\u201cvirgin plastics\u201d) and are approved for use with food.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chemical recycling technology required to recover polypropylene is still developing. As a result, only limited quantities of chemically recycled polypropylene are currently available. In the future, depending on the availability of suitable material, the amount of recycled plastic in Emmi CAFF\u00c8 LATTE packaging will be further increased. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
