Sustainability

At DECA, we don’t believe in empty promises – only in tangible solutions. Our packaging is made from 100% mono-material and is therefore 100% recyclable. We combine smart design with a low ecological footprint and high practical value. Functional and responsible, in other words.

Plastics with a plan

“Plastics and sustainability don’t go together”, many people think. But the truth is a little different. Our packaging extends the shelf life of food, reduces food waste, and outperforms many so-called ‘green’ alternatives when it comes to CO₂ emissions. And thanks to lighter designs, we’re using less and less material.

Full-cycle sustainability

Our production is also moving sustainably: we run almost carbon-neutral, with more than 1,300 solar panels, rainwater reuse and heat recovery. Machines are systematically renewed and optimised to save energy.

We take part in innovative sorting projects (like HolyGrail), support chemical recycling, and lobby for better policies and clear legislation. Because to make plastics truly circular, design, sorting and recycling all need to be in sync.

And consumers? They play just as big a role. That’s why we actively promote awareness, sorting initiatives and local clean-ups.

At DECA, we do what we promise: we make packaging that’s genuinely future-proof. Together, we close the circle.

Curious about all our sustainability commitments?

We want to keep our ecological footprint as small as possible. We do this by limiting the number of raw materials we use, making our packaging reusable and recycling it.
