Circular packaging
Recyclability is an essential feature of corrugated cardboard. During the production phase, we already use a minimum of 83% recycled material in our packaging, and we aim to get as close as possible to 100% recycled material eventually. This way, at Akarton, we minimize our ecological footprint and collectively contribute to a healthy planet.
Caring for Our People
At Akarton, we realize that our employees are invaluable. Their dedication and extensive knowledge of packaging and possibilities enable us to support our customers optimally with their packaging challenges.
We are pleased with an employee satisfaction rate of 97.8% and a staff turnover of only 2%. Additionally, 1 in 4 employees works at Akarton through social partners. This is a conscious choice because we believe that each person possesses unique talents and qualities. We attach importance on the health and safety of our employees.
