ROWE CONTAINERS NOW MADE OF 50% RECYCLED MATERIALS

From now on, ROWE containers will be made with a minimum of 50 per cent recycled materials. Our subsidiary Palbo GmbH, which manufactures all canisters and bottles for ROWE, produced the first containers with an increased recyclate share in June. For ROWE customers, the even more sustainable containers do not result in any additional costs. Parallel to this, the existing stocks with a recyclate content of 20 per cent will also continue to be used, so that both containers will be found at retailers for a certain time.

Sandro Schuck, CEO of Palbo GmbH, says: "Thanks to comprehensive tests, we can guarantee that our containers made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) in the new material mix offer the same performance as the previous canisters and bottles. We have not just tested the material intensively in the laboratory, but have also subjected the containers to rigorous testing under practical conditions." Canisters from pre-series production were therefore filled, loaded onto trucks and transported all over Europe to ROWE customers – under a wide range of weather and road conditions. "They passed this test with flying colours," says Sandro Schuck.
