Sustainable packaging

  • Objective of sustainable development strategy

    Strategic objectives:

    • Use of packaging containing a certain percentage of recycled material

    Operational objectives for 2023:

    • 5% of the weight of plastic packaging comes from recycling
    • Selection of metal packaging with a minimum of 50% recycled content

  • Objective of sustainable development strategy

    Achievement of objectives:

    • More than 5% of the weight of plastic packaging comes from recycling
    • 21% of metal packaging was made of recycled material

The Śnieżka Group consciously and strategically manages the issue of packaging, which is treated as an integral part of products introduced onto the market. It also complies with Polish and European standards and strives to use packaging containing recycled raw materials. Decisions about the selection of packaging are preceded by painstaking analyses and tests.

Plastic packaging acquired by FFiL Śnieżka SA in 2023 contained at least 5% of recycled material. The MAGNAT brand contributed particularly to achieving the operational objective.  MAGNAT #kolorLove paints are sold in 2.5 l packaging with a 40% share of recycled materials, and in 2023, work was carried out to introduce the packaging in question also for other products (e.g. MAGNAT Be Eko, MAGNAT Kolor Love, MAGNAT Passion, Śnieżka Acryl-Putz). Plastic packaging replaced metal ones as for 10-liter containers of MAGNAT Non Reflex and MAGNAT Ceramic white paint.

At the same time, in 2023, the Company partially achieved the objective regarding metal packaging. It was not possible to fully meet the objective due to geopolitical conditions on the one hand, and due to the use of a different type of sheet metal for packaging production on the other (this change prevents suppliers of metal packaging from providing a high percentage of recycled raw material).  Sheet metal intended for the production of packaging at FFiL Śnieżka SA in 2023 contained – in accordance with the manufacturers’ declarations – a 21% share of recycled raw materials.

In accordance with legal requirements, Śnieżka participates in creating and maintaining a system for collecting, transporting, recovering or neutralizing packaging waste generated from introduced packaging.
