Up until 2025, the Austrian packaging multinational plans to invest an average of EUR 50m annually in the expansion of recycling activities (see Plasteurope.com of

In the future, Alpla also plans to combine all developments in biodegradable packaging solutions under newly founded brand â??Blue Circle Packagingâ? (see Plasteurope.com of
