Sustainability. Close to our heart.
The careful use of resources is a part of the GIKO corporate philosophy, and of paramount importance in our daily work.
Energy-saving and environmentally friendly production facilities with renewable energy sources, a modern solvent recovery system, our own electric cars, the first wooden high-bay warehouse in the world with glued bonds or break areas close to nature for employees are only a few examples of GIKO’s contribution to environmental and climate protection.
The market for environmentally friendly and recyclable packaging is growing, not only due to legal requirements for recycling of plastic packaging. The goal is a sustainable basis for sorting and separating when disposing of packaging. The innovative solution: Single-element packaging, which is made from only one raw material and can be easily recycled.
With over 60 years of experience in the development of advanced plastic packaging for the food industry, GIKO fulfils all of the legal requirements with the new single-element packaging. The consumer can dispose of the package directly in the yellow bag, and without having to separate the different elements.
Producers can still relay on the proven flexibility and high service provisions according to the well-known GIKO standard.
Our social responsibility.
