Essity reuses more than half of France's recycled food and beverage packaging

Essity is constantly developing new methods to reuse materials and optimize resources, with the aim of achieving net zero emissions by 2050. The company has similar recycling initiatives in Germany, the Netherlands and most recently in Ecuador, where Essity is collaborating with McDonald's and the company ReciVeci to recycle paper cups from fast-food restaurants.

"A truly circular society can only be achieved if there is integrated collaboration between all members of the value chain, and our production plant in Hondouville is a role model in end to-end circular economy. The production facility provides cost-efficient and sustainable production while we take important steps toward a world with zero landfill," says Donato Giorgio, President, Global Supply Chain at Essity. 

France is Essity's second largest market in Europe with approximately 2,300 employees and annual sales of SEK 11.7bn. Essity manufactures and sells hygiene and health products under leading brands, such as Actimove, Cutimed, Delta-Cast, Demak'Up, JOBST, Leukoplast, Lotus, Nana, Okay, TENA and Tork.
