80% PCR content and optimised design for recycling

Closing product loops is the supreme discipline of the circular economy for packaging. To achieve this, packaging must be both recyclable and made from recycled materials. This is exactly the case with adapa’s innovative EcoString bags: the packaging is made from 80% mechanically recycled post consumer recyclate (PCR) and is recyclable because both the bag and drawstring are made entirely of polyethylene (PE). The familiar drawstring made of viscose is replaced by a plastic strap, while retaining its functionality. The resulting mono-material packaging eliminates the need to separate the components for recycling. EcoString bags are thus fully recyclable and with 80% PCR adapa closes the loop.
