Biedronka is joining forces with Mondi in a closed-loop programme to supply, collect, and reproduce its corrugated packaging in line with the retailer’s plastic consumption and CO2 emission targets.

As the partners explained in a joint webinar, the programme involves waste paper being processed at a paper mill in Świecie. The resultant paper is then delivered to one of Mondi’s six Polish factories, where it is turned into corrugated cardboard packaging, e.g. fruit and vegetable crates.

Biedronka’s suppliers use this packaging to pack their products and transport them to logistics centres, and from there, to stores. This corrugated cardboard is left on the shelf as consumers buy products in their individual packs.

Once empty, the cardboard is returned to Biedronka’s distribution centres, where Mondi collects it and returns it to the Świecie mill for the process to begin again.
