Packaging Use & End-of-Life

Reducing packaging impact beyond production
Packaging’s environmental footprint doesn’t end at production. Once used, it becomes waste - often non-recyclable or hard to process. As part of its sustainability strategy, BOBST is helping shape a packaging industry where materials are designed for lower environmental impact from the start.

Through innovations in substrates, inks, and coatings, BOBST supports the creation of recyclable, compostable, and reusable packaging. While the end-of-life stage lies downstream in the value chain, BOBST enables improvement through collaboration, R&D on  new materials, and active contribution to cross-industry circular economy initiatives.
From developing mono-material packaging with oneBARRIER solutions, to designing presses compatible with water-based inks, BOBST is empowering converters and brand owners to reduce waste and support a circular future.
