MAKING A DIFFERENCE
WITH SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING SOLUTIONS
Environmental responsibility is becoming increasingly vital, and as members of the foodservice and personal care industries, we aim to support waste reduction and more efficient use of resources within the industries we serve.
We know that single-use packaging for food and beverage products significantly contributes to excessive waste and pollution. But what practical options are there?
At ASEPT, we focus on developing dispensing solutions that help customers improve product utilization and reduce unnecessary waste. Our focus is on crafting products that support more resource-efficient packaging solutions and address your operational needs effectively. We specialize in helping businesses transition seamlessly from single-serve portion packs to bulk dispensing systems. Together, we can explore ways to reduce waste and improve resource efficiency.
Single-Use Packaging
Addressing Our Environmental Impact
The Ellen MacArthur Foundation reports that the global packaging industry produces approximately 311 million tons of plastic packaging each year, a figure that’s expected to rise. If trends continue, there could be more plastic than fish in the ocean by 20501. Much of this plastic comes from food and beverage packaging. ASEPT recognizes the importance of reducing packaging waste and seeks to support customers with solutions designed to improve product utilization and reduce unnecessary packaging consumption.

Additionally, our focus on durable construction and long product lifecycles is intended to support efficient resource use and reduce the need for frequent equipment replacement.
How Our Environmental Focus Creates Value
- In-house Production Processes | We continuously work to reduce the environmental impacts identified within our operations, with a particular focus on improving energy efficiency, as energy consumption represents one of our most significant environmental aspects.
- Reduced Waste | Our dispensing solutions are designed to achieve high product evacuation rates (up to 98%*), helping maximize product utilization. When used as an alternative to single-use portion packs, our bulk dispensing systems may contribute to reducing both product residue and packaging consumption.
- Smart Product Design | We continuously optimize our product designs with the aim of reducing material usage in manufacturing while maintaining product performance and durability.
- Efficient Operations | We strive to work with in-house production capabilities and local suppliers where feasible to support streamlined logistics and resource use.
- Sustainable Partnerships | We collaborate with customers, suppliers, and business partners to identify opportunities for improving resource efficiency and supporting more sustainable practices throughout the value chain.
Environmental responsibility is an ongoing journey. Through continuous improvement, responsible business practices, and innovative dispensing solutions, we strive to support efficient operations, reduce unnecessary waste, and help customers make the most of their products and packaging. By working together across the value chain, we aim to contribute to more resource-efficient practices.
