Transitioning Towards a More Circular Future

Did you know that Faerch Group is not only a leading manufacturer of rigid food packaging but also operates its own recycling facilities in the Netherlands ?
At Faerch , circular recycling of rigid food packaging is not a distant vision ; it is a reality happening today . As an integrated food trayto-tray recycler , we are achieving circularity on an industrial scale .
Our mission is to convert waste into valuable resources through pioneering advancements in recycling technology . This commitment is demonstrated by the recent expansion of our flagship recycling plant in Duiven , Netherlands . With nearly 24 billion rigid food containers sold annually , Faerch plays a vital role in preserving food freshness while tackling environmental challenges head-on .
At Faerch , we are completely invested in the transition of both clear and coloured food packaging into circular rPET solutions . We are at the forefront , focusing on recycling collected used PET pots , tubs , and trays from post-consumer household waste into new food applications made of recycled PET ( rPET ) without the need for new resources . This significant shift is not a solo effort ; it is powered by collaboration across the entire value chain .
Discover how we are reshaping the industry by prioritising circular content and enhancing our integrated recycling capacity . And this is just the beginning . Join us on the journey towards a more sustainable future , where post-consumer waste transforms into new food packaging - over and over again !
