New sustainability report highlights progress in circular packaging, recycled plastics and responsible manufacturing
Hard, Austria, 24 July 2026 – Global packaging manufacturer ALPLA has released its Sustainability Report 2025, outlining the company’s latest progress in recycling, climate action and responsible business practices. The report reflects ALPLA’s continued efforts to make sustainability a central part of its operations while increasing transparency in how it measures environmental and social performance.
The report, titled “Commitments in Action,” explains how the company is turning its sustainability goals into measurable results. One of the biggest developments is the external verification of selected sustainability indicators. This independent review helps improve transparency and gives customers, partners, and investors greater confidence in the company’s reported progress.
ALPLA has also updated its sustainability strategy to align with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards. The company now places greater emphasis on understanding both its environmental impact and the financial opportunities and risks linked to sustainability. This broader approach also considers the role of suppliers, customers and other partners throughout the value chain.
Recycling continues to be one of the company’s highest priorities. ALPLA is investing in technologies that support a circular economy, where plastic packaging is collected, recycled and used again to produce new packaging. The company believes that improving recycling systems and increasing the use of recycled materials can significantly reduce waste while conserving valuable natural resources.
The sustainability report also highlights progress in environmental performance. ALPLA has improved its EcoVadis sustainability rating while maintaining its Gold status, placing it among the top-performing companies assessed globally. The company also received a B rating from CDP for its climate-related initiatives, reflecting ongoing efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve environmental management.
Beyond environmental initiatives, the company continues to focus on employee safety, responsible sourcing and long-term business resilience. By combining innovation with sustainable manufacturing practices, ALPLA aims to support customers looking for packaging solutions that balance performance with environmental responsibility.
As regulations around packaging and recycling continue to evolve worldwide, businesses across the plastics industry are placing greater importance on circular economy strategies. Companies that invest in recycled materials, resource efficiency and transparent reporting are expected to be better positioned to meet future market demands while addressing growing environmental expectations.
