As part of its ongoing commitment to sustainability, Seco is making a significant change to its product packaging. The company is transitioning to environmentally friendly packaging made from 98-100% recycled materials, a move that will result in an estimated reduction of 131 tons of CO₂ emissions annually.
This transition is a key step toward the ambitious sustainability goals of Seco, including achieving operational net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2035 and reaching 90% circularity by 2030. The new packaging, made of 98-100% recycled Polypropylene or Polyethylene depending on the supplier, maintains the same high standards of quality and functionality that customers expect while contributing to a more sustainable future.
A greener future without compromising quality
Seco’s customers can rest assured that the transition to recycled grey plastic packaging will not affect the quality. The durable and reliable packaging will continue to protect tools effectively, while also helping to reduce environmental impact.
To ensure a seamless and waste-minimizing transition, Seco will first use its existing stock of white virgin plastic packaging before fully adopting the grey recycled alternative. Throughout this period, customers may receive a mix of both packaging types.
The Seco commitment to sustainability
“At Seco, sustainability is more than a responsibility — it is an opportunity to lead by example,” says Maria Blomqvist, Vice President Sustainability & EHS at Seco. “By transitioning to recycled plastic packaging, we are taking another critical step toward reducing our environmental footprint while maintaining the high quality our customers expect.”
The transition to sustainable packaging aligns with the Seco purpose to make manufacturing fast, easy, and sustainable. Customers who choose products of Seco are actively contributing to a greener future by supporting a company dedicated to eco-conscious manufacturing.
